"This is one of the best locations on the Lake of Neuchatel for any occasion with friends, colleagues and family members. The setting is lovely, right on the shores of Lake Neuchatel, on a large outdoor terrace that invites and raises expectations of great food, great service in great surrounds. Unfortunately, expectations are far from met.The food is mediocre to good, nothing terrible but you are left with the sense that no great effort was undertaken in making your dish, its adequate - and that was good enough for the chef/restaurant owner. Jamie Oliver or Gordan Ramsay class food this is not. Which is one of the key reasons why there are so many negative comments here.Additionally there only seemed to be 1 qualified person able to wait tables, take orders, deliver food, bring drinks, collect dishes and accept payment. 1 person for approx. 40 people during 2 hours. Terrible service.When asked whether or not a certain dish could accomodate the needs/wishes of one of my visiting Asian colleagues, the answer was "it comes as it is, he himself can take off whatever vegetables/meat he doesnt wish to eat" not in a rude way, but in a "matter-of-fact" way. Sadly a standard "take-it-or-leave-it" approach in the German-speaking part now rears its head in the French speaking part. On a lighter note, prices are better than expected. Expectto pay CHF28 for a Burger dish, CHF18 for a Caesar salad and CHF40 for roast lamb.Overall, if you ignore the bad service and attitude, this would be a great place to recommend to friends, romantic couples and colleagues.Tip: highly recommend this as an after work drinks & catch up location, however wouldn't recommend anyone go out of their way to visit it."
