Wow what a surprise beautiful terrace. The reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is that the waiters were not very attentive, dirty plates needed clearing, wine glasses were not filled.

My husband wasn't feeling well from eating something bad the night before, but I'm glad my son was there to share the dining experience here with me. First the sunset view is really beautiful. i don't rememberr how many courses there were in this set menu dinner, seven or something, and several things on the plate with each course, so... More
