Restaurant Review:
Der blaue Fuchs - Georgian-Inspired (⭐4/5)
The restaurant was pricey considering what it offered. The service left much to be desired, as it was unfriendly, but the food itself was satisfying. Despite the high prices, the location had a cozy atmosphere, providing a comfortable and welcoming feeling. Overall, it was a decent dining experience with enjoyable food.
