Food was absolutely unbelievable we got the the 3 course for €55 and it was so work it. It was our anniversary and they had a fabulous table with a lake view and a complementary glass of Prosecco each on arrival. 10/10 and will definitely be recommending to my friends and family and we will be back as we are only 30 mins away from the lodge. And our waiter was so so nice and great at his job. Thanks again

The food was quite simply very very poor. Small portion sizes, some dishes with mixes of flavours that didn't not work together. The supreme chicken was the smallest portion I have ever recieved in a restaurant. Risotto undercooked and had to be sent back. All this and you end up paying 200 euro for quite an inadequate meal was very disappointing. The service was excellent and the ambience was good but too warm. Had to ask for air conditioning to be turned on. The service was excellent but the food was very poor I would not recommend.

Had a crazy day including a flat tire on the side of the road. Dinner at Wilde's was the perfect antidote!
