"Really wonderful trip, if a tad expensive. The scenery was stunning and the boat was laid out very well so that you could enjoy your meal and see the sights. We were assured that my vegetarian needs would be catered for quite easily when we booked but when we got on board the waiter became very agitated with me telling him that I could not eat from the set menu. I wasn't offered any alternative to the 1st course as a replacement for the langoustine mousse offered to the other members in our group but It seemed that my dietary needs were accommodated for by the chef for the entree, when an asparagus starter was brought out with my friends lobster. The main course however caused quite a cafuffle when the waiter brought out the asparagus starter again!! He became very agitated when I pointed out that I had already eaten this for entree and tried to force me to eat what he had brought out!! Thankfully my French is pretty good and I was insistent that I didn't want the same again. He swore(in French-me##e m##de m#rde! and eventually came back with an offer for an alternative dish, veg ravioli. I accepted the offer and agreed to wait 10 minutes for it to be cooked and watched my friends eat their steak When my main course finally arrived it consisted of a small bowl of salty veg soup with 2 squares of lasagne type pasta!!! Deconstructed ravioli? And inly 1 piece. We didn't make a fuss as were have a lovely break with friends but considering the meal cost 250CHF we were very disappointed. Pudding was lovely though along with the Swiss wine and Prosecco and Cassis, but nothing could have outdone the lac leman scenery. Simply stunning."
