I was served in English and the service was excellent, however as I was the only guest in the dining room I wouldn't have expected anything less.
I ordered a medium rare rib eye steak which is served with potato wedges, cherry tomatoes, salad and butter.
The outside of the steak was crisp (read burned and bitter) while the inside was raw, I suspect it was done in an open flame.
The meat was dull and tasteless probably from cattle that were fed and not roaming free. Even melting the butter on the steak didn't make much of a difference.
The deep fried wedge potatoes (unpeeled) was not crisp on the outside as you would expect. You should source the correct variety of potatoes, peel it, cut it, wash it, boil it until almost soft then deep fry it at 170ºC until golden brown.
No effort went into preparation and presentation of the salad, just a few cut leaves and four fried cherry tomatoes, no salad dressing or anything to make it look appetising.
It is clear that none or very little effort went into the sourcing of the ingredients and preparing and presenting this meal, which is the most expensive item on the menu and should be the signature dish.
If this was presented to me by a corner cafe at a corner cafe price, I would have given it a rating of three stars for It's OK. At a four star hotel with a four star price this unfortunately does not deserve a single star.
In my opinion the chef is not qualified for the job. Although I'm staying another five nights at the hotel, this was my first and last meal here. Now I understand why all the restaurants in the area are overflowing with customers while this grand dining room is empty.

Really nice concept, following the Orient Express route in both cocktails and food. Original cocktails, best enjoyed with a platter (the Plateau Parisien is to die for!). Nice service as well.

Servizio lento e distratto, di tre camerieri una sola sembrava interessata alla presenza dei clienti, ci hanno fatto aspettare più di mezz'ora per prendere la prenotazione, hanno dimenticato un piatto e ci hanno anche messo fretta, perché la cucina doveva chiudere, alla richiesta di un dolce ovviamente siamo arrivati troppo tardi e sempre la solita ragazza gentile ha cercato di rimediare con dei biscotti... Discreta la cucina male il servizio.
