Guests appreciated this "welcome breakfast," which helps them settle in and organize for their stay. Descriptions of the complimentary breakfast include mentions of a breakfast basket, croissants and fresh bread, enhancing the initial experience.

Additionally, the bar within the restaurant is highlighted as a cool and pleasant spot to unwind, whether for a full meal or just a glass of wine.

Despite the positive feedback on the food quality, there are recurring concerns about the restaurant's prices with several guests finding it expensive for a campground setting.
