So outstanding!!!
Everything, and I mean everything, was 5 stars.
This is no coincidence; it is an attitude, a way of life.
The restaurant scenery and location are like taken from the nicest place in Europe.
The staff was friendly and very well trained.
House wine... exquisite and at good price.
Dishes... best you can expect. No mistakes; delicious, deep, and interesting.
Good variety of wines and beers.
Prices more than fair for this level.
I will definitely return as many times as I can.
The food was taste, great presentation. The portions are satisfying. The menu has plenty of choices. The prices aren't for a budget. Disabled and children welcome. Free parking spots bit crowded, only 2 for disabled. Nice views around. In and out seats depending on weather, nice balcony. Servings alcoholic beverages. Toilets need more cleaning attention. The waiters need a little more training in giving service and be more patience to explain about the plates. We asked for all the main dishes to been served all at once as possible. At a table of 8 people only one dish arrived and 15 minutes later additional dishes and not all at once. The coffee came in different portions, not as ordered (cold, afogato with ice cream on a disposable cup, regular espresso instead of double, etc.). The desserts that supposed to leave a good taste after all the failures, they didn't. I'm not sure to visit again.
delicious big portions. even though some of the ingredients weren't really needed, like why to add broccoli and green beans and potatoes and mushrooms and many other things over a gnocchi? keep it simple..
לכו על הפילה דניס, לא תצטערו
This is my first visit to Israel and the first restaurant I dined at in Israel and boy oh boy - I will never forget my experience here. Everything from the ambience to the food, the wine and above all the staff of this beautiful restaurant. Located in the historic area of Gilboa, it’s right next to the Olives Hotel. You may as well ask for the Olives Hotel and you will find this restaurant easily. The restaurant name is displayed in Hebrew so I had to ask for the staff to find it for me on Google and they gladly obliged. First let me tell you what’s good about this restaurant- EVERYTHING!!! The staff helped me sample the local Israeli Merlot and Cabernet before I could make a choice and loved them both but personally I liked the Cabernet more. The menu is limited in choice but let me tell you this you will not be disappointed. The best part of eating in Israel their vegetarian food is as yum as the non- vegetarian. And this restaurant proved it. Their starters include salads, mushrooms, eggplant, et al. In my whole life I have never had a salad as good as the one I tried here. The greens, the walnuts, baby tomatoes, and apple slices was like a slice of heaven. Wow!!! Who would have thought salads could be this yum - the secret of course the dressing… The eggplant starter was out of this world too. For the mains I had fish and it could not be any more fresh. They also offer beef, lamb, salmon and other choices for the main course. I suggest you try this restaurant for dinner and try to pick a spot overlook the highway. It offers a beautiful nighttime view of the nearby village and the open landscape. Great wine, amazing food, beautiful view, lively ambience and interiors and surprisingly some 80s music in the background- what more can you possibly ask??? I also learnt what egalitarian means in Israel - the hotel staff that served me and my Israeli colleague were dressed in casual. Not one of them had a uniform that made them stand out as hotel staff. They could be one of you. And that I think is really cool. My Israeli friend thought the eggplant starter was a hint too salty for his taste and the staff offered to replace it immediately - no questions / no excuses. And they did not even bother tasting it before agreeing to replace it. I haven’t seen that ever before. Of course we did not replace it either - I thought the eggplant was out of this world. We cleaned out the plate - no problem!! I highly recommended you try this place but let me caution you - it is expensive!! But you don’t feel like complaining about the price after eating food that is simply YUM!! I am certainly having dinner here again whenever I get a chance to return to beautiful Israel…
What an amazing place! I’ve lived in New Orleans and had wonderful meals at some of the best restaurants - the chef’s table at Commander’s, the Degustation at Emeril’s, etc. This place is at the top of the list, a fantastic find thanks to our friends in the area who knew about the place. The service was fantastic, and the food was perfect - just the right blends of flavors, fresh off the farm, and with presentations that would delight the world’s finest gastronomes! Everything from the bread and salad to the final dessert was perfectly delivered for our dining pleasure, and our only regret is that we don’t get to this area often enough to eat here on a regular basis. Bravo, Chef!!!
