   How I would love to give this beautiful place of five overall! The restaurant itself has an unmatched ambience with incredible furnishings, private seatings, beautiful, lighting, and just a charming atmosphere. The food was unbelievable… The spinach croquettes with aïoli, pistachios , honey and goat cheese for appetizer, and the gnocchi with artichoke cream, sautéed mushrooms were simply unmatched. However, it seemed as if no one cared we were there! Once we arrived and were seated, no one came to our table. We had to ask for service. We had to ask for drinks. We then had to ask to place our order. no water served for the table. No bread served for the table. Once the meal was served, no one followed up to see how we were doing… We finally had to get up and ask for the bill… Twice. For an appetizer of two small croquettes and two entrées with one beer and one cocktail the total was $121… This would be fine if anyone had provided service. Would have been very glad to leave a generous tip and wonderful praise for how awesome the food and ambience were. DAVID, who did finally help us, was someone we felt sorry for… Because we think he was actually having to tend bar at the same time! For the taste of the food, we would’ve returned the next day… We just could not justify the expense given. We had to ask so many times for service. we do owe a shout out to the wonderful concierge… A lovely lady in a satin blue dress… She seemed to take care of most of all… She seated us and took our coats and was very gracious. If we had had her waiting our table, I think everything would’ve been magical!

   812 / 5 000 Dear Sabina Thank you for visiting us and for the nice words about our drinks and colleagues! I am sorry to read your comment in which you expressed dissatisfaction as regards the dishes and prices, allow me to respond to it. Your reservation was received on December 19th, and we sent you a message on December 20th informing you of which dishes would be available on the day of your visit, attaching a link to our menu, including the prices, which are in line with the similar 5-star Hotel prices. The decision to offer a limited menu was made, due to the preparation of our Christmas Dinner! Our bar snacks are not like just some peanuts, those are full-sized appetizers, carefully selected and created by our Chef. Best regards Csaba Pálfi Assistant Director of F&B

   This place was an absolute nightmare. We arrived there, first impression, tiny room, isolated from the main restaurant. uncomfortable seating, funeral music, very strange vibe. then, we looked at the table across from us, a woman half naked, man in a t-shirt. cero dress code here. besides for a family to dine at this restaurant and they accept women with breasts out, totally inappropriate. We could only choose from the bar food due to a private event; no one informed us about this before. So, a 25 euros burger the size of a Mcdonal's happy meal cheeseburger. a joke. Save your money. This restaurant is overpriced, tasteless, mediocre. Terrible experience. We left after having the worst Christmas "Dinner" experience.

   Dear Marbelys Thank you for visiting us, I am sorry to read your comment in which you expressed dissatisfaction with several things. Please let me respond to them. Your reservation was received on December 17th, and we sent you a message on December 20th informing you of which dishes would be available on the day of your visit, attaching a link to our menu, and for 2 more days (2 reminders were sent on the 23rd and 24th), and the room where you were seated is part of our restaurant. Our hotel has a dress code, Smart Casual, which all of our guests complied with. The lady in question wore an elegant, long cocktail dress with a more open neckline, and the gentleman was also dressed appropriately, just like all of our other guests. Best regards Csaba Pálfi Assistant Director of F&B

   Over priced poor food quality. Terrible table service. My wife never got a glass of wine ordered but it was still put on the bill. Lychee Martin tasted awful. Not a lychee taste. Next table of strangers also order that drink. We all sent it back. Do not go. Very very poor.

   Dear Mark Thank you for visiting our hotel's Café Liszt restaurant. I am very sorry that you were not satisfied with the quality of your drinks and the service Based on the guest feedback, there is rarely any criticism of the quality of our cocktails, but of course, not everyone can like them, and we respect this, just like the wines you tasted. I am sorry that the drink you ordered was not served. As compensation, our current manager removed the service charge from your bill according to your request, which you were satisfied with. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience. Best regards Csaba Pálfi

    Great food and even better entertainment. My husband, dad, and I planned for a quick meal and ended up staying for almost two hours. Lovely environment and again, the food was phenomenal.
