                                                              The whole experience here was amazing! I booked in the UK and they rand to let me know that the table I had booked wasn’t the over water ones, so if I wanted one of them to change the time. We went there this evening and the service was amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful with the menu. He recommended which cocktails were sour and which were sweet. The food and drinks was amazing, we were so full but kept eating because of how nice it was. Would 100% recommend going at sunset because the atmosphere was just perfect. The waiter offered to take some pictures of us too.

Esta ocasión fue aniversario e hicieron todo para sentirnos de lo más lindo en nuestra noche.

Lo super recomiendo y si lo consigues, busca las mesas que están pegadas al lago, ¡fantásticas!
