The location promises prestige, the prices scream luxury, promising a top-tier culinary experience - but the experience sadly collapses under the weight of unmet expectations.
Paying five-star prices naturally sets the bar high, and rightly so. To their credit, a couple of dishes did rise to the occasion: the crispy octopus was expertly prepared with a satisfying texture, and the beef tartar offered robust, well-balanced flavors that showed care in execution. Service was also attentive and pleasant, matching the elegant setting.
Unfortunately, the rest of the meal struggled to match even modest standards. The tuna tartar lacked finesse and depth, and the spaghetti with seafood was astonishingly bland—both felt undeserving of a place on the menu, let alone of a premium price tag. When you’re paying five-star prices, you’re entitled to consistency and creativity across the entire menu, not just a few scattered hits.
Premium venues come with a simple pact: exceptional quality in return for exceptional pricing. That pact was not honored here. The discrepancy between cost and quality wasn’t just noticeable—it was glaring.
If you're seeking a memorable culinary experience, this isn't the memory to chase.
