4.4/5 (5/5 food; 3/5 service; 5/5 atmosphere). Was attracted to this place thanks to the michelin guide. We came for dinner with my wife. Whilst it started off quite awkwardly, it did get better thanks to the food. We came in twice into the restaurant - first we thiught maybe it was closed, nobody was there, no staff or people. So we walked around came back and still no one there but it was already 8pm. We walked all the way in the kitchen, where we met the chef! Who then said someone body would meet us till finally staff came and mentioned that we should have gone through the other way...anway not a great start.
We opted to sit inside where aircon was on as it was super hot, and so did a few other guests later on. We ordered and absolutely the food was great. Good ingredients, including the amuse bouche. Each plate was certainly carefully thought through and presented, including the desert. The wine list was extensive and including a good variety. Although again service was awkward - i asked for the difference between 2 bottles (the years were very different) the waiter mentioned she would call the sommelier, who then came and blurted out just the 2 years. No explanation - just said the 2 years as if those were the only ones available. As we already had an awkward encounter i just picked one. I could hear then inside the kitchen, the waiter yelling at the sommelier saying that I wanted an explanation...anyway the wine was delicious.
Waiting time is extremely long. We came in at 8 and left at 11pm (2 appetizers 2 mains and 2 deserts), but prices were very fair
Atmosphere was good! The inside was well decorated, beautiful interiore and included an beautiful patio in case people wanted to stay outside. Despite awkward service we had a great night!
