DO NOT come here for the "casual" dining. From the other positive reviews, it's mostly referring to the fancy "authentic" dining menu that's in another dining area in the hotel- which I believe is what is worth coming here for....not the day time casual menu in non-fancy part.
1. The Buffet for 39.80 CHF- Don't even think about it. In my opinion and the way I perceived it, it was pretty much a couple random dishes that looked like it was left overs from a party. Looked random and not appetizing looking at all. All on plates wrapper with saran wrap. Refer to my pic.
2. The Lunch Menu "Nodate" 45 CHF- This is a bento lunch which was okay. Just okay. The tuna roll was a shock and disappointing as it was cooked tuna. In my opinion, the tuna looked and tasted like it was from canned, refer to my picture. This might not be a fact, but doesn't change that it was indeed Disappointing. The tempura was not crispy fresh...it was a bit soft like it was sitting out for a 1/2 hour...which means it wasn't warm either. The beef was so so, but covered with a super thick teriyaki sauce- if this sauce was home made, in my opinion a lot of sugar might have went in the ingredients because it was super thick- that or corn starch? The sashimi was good, even though it was tiny little pieces.
The waitress didn't communicate well. We were looking for some clarity on what the Nodate included and she pointed to the detailed menu and said "All of this below". It wasn't all of the below so our expectations were disappointed when we asked if the dessert was coming. She wasn't clear and she just pointed to the menu waiving her finger around.
The presentation was really cute and I enjoyed that. The dishes came out of a Japanese Lunch Carrier thing. But that's about it. If you come here, avoid this restaurant and go to the other restaurant they have, but it's super pricey. read more
