    The unique elevator ride set the tone for an amazing experience at Kinnik! The beautiful scenery as we descended toward the restaurant was such a warm and welcoming introduction before we even stepped inside. The customer service was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. It was a bit chilly during dinner, but we were thoughtfully provided with blankets, which was a lovely touch. The atmosphere was mellow yet vibrant, creating the perfect balance for a relaxing dining experience. The scenic views of the water made everything even more special. The food was fresh and authentic, and we truly enjoyed the opportunity to relax, take in the beautiful surroundings, and savor the experience. Kinnik offers more than just a meal; it’s an experience that engages your senses from the moment you arrive. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for great service, delicious food, and a beautiful atmosphere!

    The food was amazing, the service was amazing, and the location was amazing. The one thing that didn't work out was the desert.

    I booked a reservation for 12:00. I arrived at 11:35 to enjoy the view first, but the staff told me that I could enter until my reservation time. I waited patiently outside on the street, just to realise that there was plenty of space inside because just two more tables were used. It was unnecessary to wait for nothing. Once inside, the view was fantastic. Food and wine made a great combination

    The food and service are the best. Kinnik is our most favorite of all the restaurants around the lake. Daniel and Tomas waited on us and they treated us as royalty. We had puyaso and ribs — so tasty. We look forward to returning soon.
