"Wir haben für unsere Feier hier das Restaurant gemietet und es ist wirklich unvergesslich geworden ! Auf jeden Wunsch ist man eingegangen die Chefin persönlich einfach so herzlich Sie hat uns von Anfang an perfekt beraten und unterstützt! Preisleistung ist unschlagbar! Sie können selber entscheiden ob sie alles vom Restaurant beziehen oder alles selber in die Hand nehmen Getränke essen organisieren aber egal für was man sich entscheidet die Chefin bleibt cool und gelassen.
