Every dish in 5 course set menu was fantastic - flavor, texture and presentation wise. Our favorites were deer and dessert. Great wine list, was pleasantly surprised by selection of champagnes by bottle. Enjoyed the possibility of having a flavorful cocktail in a very atmospheric lounge bar after dinner with a complimentary macaron. Overall experience would be perfect if the service would keep up to the level of food served. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50+ Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Clean and cozy place. Food is unique and very delicious, you can really "experience" the food. Also chef serves the food and explains what we will be eating/drinking. Seasonal menu. Vegetarian options are also possible. Recommend. The only negative is that dogs are not allowed. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €50+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

A lovely dining experience. Interesting and tasty menu, with equally interesting beverage pairings available. I did think the service was slightly rushed, however this was made up by the surprise invitation to the beautiful lounge area where we enjoyed coffee and after dinner drinks, making the experience a well timed one overall. Setting is also great. Prices are very reasonable and team is friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth visiting if in the area of Cēsis. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

The biggest disappointment of our trip to Latvia. Food lacked flavour, though looked fabulous. Wine pairing very week, nonalco pairing very disappointing and over priced (5euro less than alco). I enjoyed 2 dishes out of 5 from the menu. Lamb was excellent. Service clumsy for up scale restaurant. Beautiful place though. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

We loved this restaurant with its industrial design. It’s located in a former fire station, and has big windows, making the inside bright. As we visited during June, sunlight was getting inside until nearly 22:00! The set up 5-course-menu was excellent and innovative, as were the accompanying drinks (we chose the non-alcoholic option). The staff was friendly, dynamic and very attentive. We will come back when returning to Latvia, and we highly recommend this place to everyone loving good quality and creative dinning. It’s only one hour drive from Riga, and the town of Cesis is nice to visit as well.

Fantastic food paired with very friendly service in an old fire station: surprising haute cuisine in Latvia - definitely a recommendation. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food was excellent - a well balanced summer menu. Also the drink/ wine pairing fit the food well. However, the pace of food and drinks arriving was very sped up, not very relaxing. We felt like running on a treadmill, because even after asking for a slower pace, no adjustment to the serving time possible - even though the website specifically said that we should plan in approx. 2.5 hours, maybe a little longer when deciding to have the wine pairing (everyone arriving within 30 minutes was served food at the same time in the end and we were pretty much done after 1.5 hours). The first wine was served just a couple of minutes after we ordered an aperitif, which we had just stared drinking. Basic service rules were not always obeyed (clearing my partner’s plate just when he put down his cutlery, while I hadn’t even finished yet). All of this led to a very rushed meal and we couldn’t really enjoy the food as much as we probably would’ve in a more relaxed setting. We would come back for the delicious food but considering the rushed atmosphere we don’t think it’s worth the money, especially with the drink pairing.

A Michelin level restaurant without a start (yet). Stunning food and presentation, definitely a night to remember. Thank you for your wonderful work and experience!
