Please note! You have to order your food an hour in advance, so don't expect to be able to come by and have your food quickly. Also, you only get your drink with your food, or in our case after the food was finished.nThey also don't serve alcoholic drinks.nHowever, it is a very nice place to watch the sunset.

Such a wonderful restaurant! Very good food, which is freshly prepared. The price is absolutely fair around 260-300 per dish and the food is high quality. Vegetarian options are available and the service is excellent!
