Reviews
We went to this restaurant to celebrate a birthday and had a good experience. We booked a 5 course dinner and managed to get a reservation a few days in advance. The decor is nice, although I've been to better Michelin star restaurants (and also worse) for atmosphere 🙂 Only a set menu is on the offer (you have a choice between number of courses), but they did take into account some dietary requirements. The wine pairing is good and I tried several wines which I otherwise wouldn't have. But you only get 2-3 mouthfuls of wine when they say 1/2 glass (so be aware). Food was small portions (like other high end restaurants) but fantastic tastes and textures. Dessert (mango something+ ice cream) was disappointing. Staff were lovely. Sourdough bread was outstanding! Overall 7/10. Worth trying.
We had a fantastic time celebrating a birthday. We opted for the menu with accompanying wine. From beginning to end the food was wonderful with great umami flavours. The wines were interesting and happened to include our favourite variety. The service across the board was superb, efficient, friendly without being intrusive. We had a great time. Heartily recommended.
The food portion is very small. The non-vegetable dishes are beef tartar, fish and lamb neck. I need to go to hotel lounge again to have another sandwich after the dinner. Wine wise is also mediocre. A little disappointed for a one star Michelin restaurant.
i’ve been to many michelin star restaurants, even three starred ones, and i can honestly say i’ve never enjoyed a menu top to bottom as i did here. staff was very nice and friendly, never too much, kitchen was spotless and the menu was amazing. portions were great and - honestly - pretty cheap for quality and quantity. amazing job everyone and thank you for the greatest food and evening. i would give more than 5 stars if i could
