            The director explains that this will not be a standard up-
            graded dinner, it is much more. “Rather a full experience
            where many other things happen. The moment you ar-
            rive you will be taken on a journey and you do not really
            know what to expect, it will be a surprise. We try to pro-
            mote it as basic as we can. We do understand that some
            guests wish to have some revelations so we informed that
            the theme will be around the four seasons; winter, spring,
            summer and fall.” The menu will be available in front but
            we  recommend  people  not  even  to  look  at  it  and  let
            themselves be surprised, he continues. “Be open to dive
            into the experience. Enjoy an upscale evening full of sur-
            prises. Come with an open mind willing to try new things.
            It will captivate you!”
