The food was excellent, the servers courteous and friendly, and we enjoyed it so much the first night we were in the hotel that we opted to return the next night. There is a good variety of selections, well-prepared and tasty. The chef is very creative offering many taste combinations not familiar to our American palate; however, we enjoyed every... More

I could'nt believe it when the waitress said there were 14 Swiss wines on the long table in the middle of the Dining Room and you could help yourself to as much as you wanted. The wines were varied and generally good. We had 3 types of Quail to start, Venison as the main course and a variety of 6... More

This restaurant in the Marriott hotel has a highway ramp between it and the river, which affects the outlook a bit. For entree I had the gratineed goats cheese with polenta and my boyfriend had the chicken liver salad. Both very good (see photos). My lamb saddle main was a big disappointment, a grey rectangle of mostly overcooked lamb covered... More

I enjoyed planning a large group meal with the staff at eCHo. Flavia helped me plan a wonderful menu in advance of our trip. The managers and staff who took care of our group that evening went above and beyond to give excellent service, delicious food, and personal attention. We arranged a set menu and everything was so wonderful. I... More

Swiss food...is a lot more than fondue. I have learned this. How can one be so enthusiastic about a salad. Well I was. It was a mix of salads with some small slices of cheese. All of it was amazing. But there was a type of herb in it that grows in the wild that elevated this salad to an... More

Nice Restaurant with Good food. However I was expecting a bit more. We got the 69.- menu with wine a discretion. Swiss wine is not that good there.

Yeah ok, I admit I get a little extra picky whenever the prices are this steep. But the portions were just too small and all of us had to add A LOT of extra salt. It simply wasn't delicious food and I cannot recommend coming here. What a pity, cuz the place itself and the staff were really nice.

Sometimes Swiss food is stereotyped as stodgy or "cheesy". This restaurant (at the Marriott hotel) proves that tradition can be done with flair. The menu was creative, varied and also ... fun. The wine list was substantial and there was a promotion of local wines when I visited which offered good value. I had an entree platter with a trio... More
