Diffult to find monument. Open from 12; sek100 entrance was prohibitive

En ypperligt fin plats för fest och roligheter. Maten var toppenfin och personalen trevlig. Att det inte är full pott beror på tillgängligheten då skyltningen och vägbeskrivningen dit är undermålig. (Så pass illa att inte ens taxi hittar.) Detta är nog inte Skansen Lejonets fel utan snarare Göteborgs stad. Men som sagt kanontrevlig festlokal.

Firar bröllop här. Lokalen är fin men besvärlig för äldre då trapporna är höga och branta klart jobbigt hjärtat i halsgropen både upp och ner. Kocken fick till en fantastiskt fin hjortfile helt perfekt smak och mediumrare till samtliga 50 personer. Serveringspersonal var snabba och effektiva. Fungerar så bra kunde inte bli bättre.
