"Located inside the Hotel Eden Palace, the restaurant Gaston has an informal yet chic setting. The Maitre D attends to clients quickly and the service is impeccable. Not over the top but just the right amount of attention to detail. Excellent wine list."
The Contract Lawyer
"Simply bad...
We reserved, we were in time, we sit for over 20 minutes - with two small kids - without any chance to order at least water for the thirsty kids.
Within the time the waiter take the orders of other tables and served them their food.
Why do we hat not even the chance to order while others order and get their food meanwhile?
Never ever we will go there again!"
