Atmosphere is nice with ideal tables out on the balcony, and additional tables in the square with glimpses of the river. Some live music for those on the square. We appreciated the kids coloring sheets and colored pencils as a nice touch. The service was pretty slow - after being seated we waited over 20 minutes for menus alone. After ordering drinks took awhile but then food quickly followed. The food was not great, and didn't always follow what was listed on the menu. The Salade Nicoise was tasty with great fresh tuna and a warm salad of potato and green beans. However, the cordon bleu which we got to share between my husband and one kid was terrible! It had soggy frozen vegetables as a side and a cordon bleu that seemed mass produced, what an embarrassment especially at 46 CHF! Then the lemon ricotta ravioli was anything but - the menu said it had burrata, lemon and mint and instead it was a bland cream disaster with arugula on top. Absolutely no lemon or mint flavor whatsoever. We mentioned to the server that we were disappointed with the food and her response was "oh" and that was it.

Sight, sound, taste, smell, everything is synchronized like a song the minute you walk in. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable, and they tried their best to speak English so we could understand. We sat out by the Rhine river before we were seated. It was very calming. Then we were bought to the dining room where they only have one seating per night. We had a 12 course tasting menu and my husband had the wine pairing as well. I will let the picture speak for themselves. Food was the best I've ever had and I love the combination of spices and textures used. Every bite is a burst of flavor, but not too overwhelming. If you only have one chance to taste a 3 star Michelin restaurant - this is it!!! Don't bother going anywhere else because you will be disappointed. The final Bill came to 748 euros.

The decor is…read moresumptuous, and every part of the meal is choreographed, and the dinner is an experience to remember. The menu changes with the season, and the wine list is HUGE! We asked for guidance from the sommelier, but it was very disappointing to not have a curated wine menu for the full dining experience. Wine is an essential part of dine dining, and the restaurant misses the mark by not filling the good. We had the best oyster of our lives, and one of the amuse bouche dishes was repeated (I was not sad about this). Bread is offered liberally -- take it! That will be the most filling part of your meal. Note the frequent refills of water at $11/bottle. All of the dishes were sensational and complex, and if you are a seeker of Michelin star restaurants, then this is a do not miss based on many factors, including the hotel being a place where Napoleon visited. Just know that you will not be gorging yourself on this meal.

I ordered the soup "du jour" i.e. the soup of the day. It was a pumpkin soup, which was delicious. The main course was a skewer of monkfish accompanied by 2 prawns, vegetables and potatoes. In my opinion they should have left out the two prawns as only their short tail was edible. I liked very much the fish and the vegetables, but the potatoes were a little mushy. The dessert pear Belle Hélène was a nice conclusion of the dinner. The three course dinner came at around 40€, water and a glass of wine included. I will definitely return, but next time I will probably try one of the meat dishes.
