Rugged Lane Restaurant in

My partner and I had dinner here on Saturday, June 21, 2025. The location is beautiful, with lovely balconies and views. However, there were many issues: Portion Sizes: The food portions were small. It felt like they were aiming for a really refined, fine-dining style with tiny plates, but within a regular two-course meal rather than a longer tasting menu. Dish Flavors: For our starter, we both had the mackerel and beetroot. We felt the flavors didn't quite hit the right balance, and the mackerel was too strong. The desserts were too sweet for our liking. On a positive note, the vegan main course was excellent. Service Style: The service was pretty average. A lot of the staff seemed quite young, possibly students, and while they clearly tried hard, it felt like they could use more training. For example, the drinks menu was not provided until I asked for it, and our side dishes arrived with the waiter's thumb resting inside the bowl and touching the food. Our Table: We were seated in a spot where staff were constantly zooming past every few minutes. There were plenty of other nicer, quieter tables available, so we weren't sure why we were placed there. Overall Vibe: The place felt unsure of its own style like it is having an identity crisis. The decor was a mix of different themes like cabin log, retro, and modern, which didn't quite gel. The food also seemed to be reaching for fine dining but didn't quite get there with the small portions and standard course structure. Even the pop music playing felt a bit off for the kind of dining atmosphere they seemed to be going for. It all just felt a bit mismatched. Considering the total cost of €225 for the meal, drinks, and tip, we felt the dining experience, while having some good moments, was ultimately not worth the price. Because of this, we wouldn't come back for a full dinner again. That said, the location is genuinely beautiful, so we might be tempted to give the bar food a try sometime!

Fabulous place, food and service

Food and service excellent, portions small, not great saying I think I might want a sandwich. We will return but have a good snack at lunchtime
