This is a unique food experience. The Cellar, food and servíce vas outstanding. We were 8 people for dinner and everything we exspected came true. The rack of lamb was one of the best lambdishes we have tasted and also the striploin and the ribeye was cooked to perfection. We all had different starters and they were all very good. In the end a slice of tiramisu put everything into a satisfying bundle of a special dinner. Many thanks for everything.
