Reviews
Wonderful food, generous portions, and impeccable service. The waitstaff were outstanding—polite, warm, and genuinely attentive without ever being arrogant. Their professionalism and hospitality made the evening even more enjoyable. The food was abundant, beautifully prepared, and absolutely exquisite. Every dish was a delight. Thank you for a truly wonderful dining experience and a memorable evening.
The appetizer and dessert was 10/10 but the main course was a 3/10. My main course was literally 3 asparagus and some sauce. That is NOT a main course. That’s a side. No protein and no whole wheat or any other carb. Unacceptable to offer 3 asparagus as a vegan main course in 2026. In 2016 it would be excusable, not now. That is NOT a main course. PORT at YSB makes the sauce out of beans. Be creative. You CAN do fine dining vegan. A vegetable is not a main course. Step up. However, the other courses were super good and the staff were really sweet.
Got there at nine, atmosphere was amazing , music too and the whole vibe in the restaurant was pleasant. The restaurant was recommend from local friends. I don’t wanna go into details but starters were ok the gnocchi and the steak overpriced for what it was. So overall I think it’s the place and the vibe itself. 210 chf
Atmosphere was really cozy and classy, love the candle details. The view of the Hotel was beautiful as well. Food was innovative and interesting! There was an open kitchen which was nice to see. Toffee cake and ice cream was really nice. Staff were attentive. Recommend for good dinner spot in town :)
