We had high expectations coming in, as a few friends raved about Enye. So sad to be disappointed. Apart from the Paella, most of the food we had did not come together, fell flat, or lacked brightness.
Lechon tacos - was excited for this. Succulent lechón, with crispy skin topped with a mango salsa would’ve slapped. We instead got dry lechón with a salsa that had none of the sweetness or brightness of mangoes
Foie brioche - would’ve been great but needed more salt to make the flavors fly
Tamal de Gambas - prawn was good, corn cake was grainy, and again, citrus emulsion with 0 brightness.
Lard torched tuna - the tuna was interesting, the richness of the pork fat worked well with the tuna. But everything else on the plate tasted of nothing.
Grilled octopus - octopus was cooked perfectly and went well with the bread crumbs
Beef cheek banh mi - the beef cheeks were good, but the pickles needed to cut the richness. Again the pickles had 0 acidity. The honey glaze on the bun also made it a mess to eat with your hands
Paella Marisco - good paella, flavors came through. I wish there were burnt crispy parts tho, paella is not paella without this imo
Beef tenderloin - fine
Torrija - I liked the flavors on this one, the crunchy sweet bread worked perfectly either way the anise ice cream. Too bad the bread was hard and chewy.
Service was friendly, but the meal dragged on, gaps between courses sometimes took 15 minutes. This ruined the flow.
I hope it was just an off night for them, there’s good ideas here, too bad they never came together.
