Food was ok meat was hard

Domenica_C, Nov 2022

Building lights at night and the calmness of the river was beautiful. But meat was hard, was expecting better for amount we paid. It would have been nice a conmentre of were we were and things we could see. But that might have been better during the day being that it was dark
