"Saturday lunchtime we were invited to this restaurant by the lake of Neuchâtel. I immediately felt like I was on holiday in a Club Med somewhere by the sea. The staff were wearing Hawaiian type shirts, friendly and efficient service. First of all a large choice of tropicla cocktails, and we took accras de morue as well. Then a starter buffet with prawn cocktail, melon and parma ham, a delicious pâté en croûte, stuffed mussels, smoked salmon, tahini, stuffed eggs, prawns, plenty of salads, grilled bacon, spring rolls, breaded crab claws, stuffed vine leaves, salmon salad, tuna salad, and probably a whole lot of stuff that I have forgotten. As the restaurant if usually pretty busy there is a good turnover of their products, so everything is fresh. Afterwards a hot buffet with a beef curry, fish with amoricaine sauce, chicken satay, rice. There is also a buffet where you choose from prawns, beef, porc, chicken etc. and choose from a large selection of spices and sauces, and then a chef cooks it in front of you on a huge plancha. For dessert we had a plate of several small pâtisseries and fruit salad, and a coupe with lime and blackcurrant sorbet and fresh fruit. I think that this menu where you can eat as much as you want costs 44.80fr. per person, very good value for money! At the end of the meal the staff brought a straw hat and a flower necklace for our friend who was celebrating his birthday, and they sang 'Happy Birthday '. I had a really great time, good food, good ambiance beautiful location, what more can one ask? Will definitely be going back before too long."

"The location is amazing, with such a location I do hope this place is a gold mine. You will have to park at the beginning of the road, just below the train station, cars cannot reach the restaurant. But it is a small walk that you will appreciate after the meal. The place was quite crowded when we came, but there is plenty of staff, I have seen busier places run smoother with less staff. This is to say that service is friendly, you can see that they are really trying, but they are not well organized and prone to panicking, moving a lot of air but not doing a lot of work. We were not in any hurry but we waited quite a lot and so did much of the customers. What is clearly lacking is proper organization and calm and efficient management. The menu is absolutely tiny, so I do recommend you check online before going, because if you don't find anything you like, you will not have lots of options. I took an octopus salad for a starter, the taste was good, but the octopus was quite rubbery. I know that Switzerland is far from the sea, but I managed to eat seafood that wasn't so rubbery before. Then I had a beef tartar and my wife took perch fillets. Presentation is very well done. I was asked if I wanted my tartar spicy, agreed because I like it hot, It came directly without any opportunity to try and correct the seasoning and it was quite hot. Ok for me, I like it hot, but if this is the way it is served usually, I fear that some people might not appreciate the surprise. The perch fillets were ok, maybe just a bit dry. We the had desserts, I took a creme brulee and my wife had an iced coffee. Both desserts had a very good taste. All in all it was definitely not a bad experience, but it was not great. So considering the price, I don't think I will go back there anytime soon. It is quite sad because this place has such a huge potential. If their service could be a bit sharper, their menu slightly larger and overall quality just a bit brighter, this place would be an absolute must."
