I was expecting a lot, seeing all the other reviews and food in this town must be really good to make it. However, we were quite disappointed. Let me explain.
We ordered the tasting menu and just sparkling water.
The water came, but short of a glass, which we had to ask 2 waiters before the glass arrived. The bread served was nice, this costs extra - which wasn’t told to us until the bill.
The campo olives served was actually quite nice, for people who don’t normally like olives.
The fried piparras was interesting.
Then came a trio of oyster, scallop nigiri (came with truffle and wasabi, but the wasabi overpowered the truffle unfortunately) and steak tartare. Nothing too spectacular.
Red tuna tiradito was next, which was quite nice. Wasabi emulsion was mild. Best dish of the night.
The prawn tempura in a squid ink bao, was very mid. I’ve had better tempura in a mall restaurant. Feels like Asian food for non-Asians.
Fish of the day was sea bass. Decent but I had 2 large fish bones (about 1 inch each) in my piece. This was really disappointing for a restaurant of this caliber. Told the waitress, who said she’ll inform the chef. No service recovery.
We opted for the ‘premium old cow’. I think they need a better copy writer. This strangely came with a very plain salad of lettuce, and fries. This portion (1 kg of beef) was very large, a whole meal in itself which is unusual for last main of a tasting menu. Beef was decent, but I didn’t think worth the extra 30 euro.
Last dessert was flan (very ordinary) and basque cheesecake with straws ice cream- which wasn’t told very nice.
All in, nothing spectacular. Service was not super great, food was very ordinary and poor attention to detail (the 2 bones). Was not worth the price we paid.
