Beautiful location in the middle of a national park. Beautifully renovated restaurant with a huge glass window into the kitchen, but also lots of windows overlooking the forest. Spectacular dining location.
The dining experience, in our view, could not keep up with the location. Ambitious cooking with some nice moments and excellent execution on every dish. Unfortunately, not a single dish I would come back for, though. None of them left me with a "wow, I want another plate of this". All of them were a bit edgy, a lot of focus on bitter tones, and usually at the end of the each course one rather felt richer by an experience, but also not wanting to go back for more.
The atmosphere in the restaurant felt a bit stiff and formal in my view. One would rarely see a smile, but rather a very professional, neutral face expression. By no means was the service bad, but I do prefer a more relaxed, friendly, chatty atmosphere over this very formal setting.
The location has a lot of potential and the cooking definitely feels like its aiming at Michelin stars.
A few more smiles and a few less edges in every single course and I'd be glad to come back in a few years time and see how things have developed.
