I was drawn in the place by its Michelin mention and strong reviews here on Google. While there were definitely high points, especially in the quality of the food, I left with mixed feelings, mostly due to the pacing of the meal, which significantly impacted the overall experience.
We chose the 8-course/experiences tasting menu, expecting a well-curated journey. The amuse-bouche and wine arrived promptly after ordering, but we then waited 25 minutes before the first appetizer appeared - a surprisingly long pause, especially considering that no bread or small bites were offered in between. From ordering at 20:00 to receiving our first main course at 21:10, more than an hour had passed, and it felt like we were simply waiting.
Curiously, the service was quite attentive when it came to pouring wine and water - almost to excess - yet no one acknowledged or explained the delays.
Once the main courses began, the rhythm improved and the dishes came at a more natural flow. The food itself was skillfully executed - with the exception of one meat course that was unfortunately a bit too chewy for this level. Still, the flavors, presentation, and overall concept were solid.
In short, the food is very good, and I can understand why the restaurant has received recognition. But the disjointed pacing and lack of communication made the evening feel less polished than expected - especially given the price point and the Michelin association. A more fluid and thoughtful service experience would elevate this restaurant to where it clearly aspires to be.
