My partner and I recently dined at this restaurant, a place known for its intriguing fixed menu concept. As vegans, we were eager to explore the culinary creations this establishment had to offer. However, our evening turned out to be a mixed bag, with some glaring issues that left us disappointed.
To start, we waited at our table for a rather frustrating 15 minutes before a waiter finally arrived to explain how the fixed menu worked. This initial lack of attention to our table set the tone for the rest of the evening.
The biggest letdown was the food itself. While some dishes looked appealing, not everything lived up to our expectations. The mushroom dish, in particular, was a low point; it was simply inedible, and we couldn't bring ourselves to finish it. Additionally, each dish took an excruciatingly long time to arrive at our table, stretching our dining experience to almost three hours, even after we raised our concerns.
Furthermore, some dishes had overpowering flavors, making them challenging to enjoy. The saving grace of our meal was the delightful combination of fresh bread and hummus, which was not only delicious but also the only reason we didn't leave the restaurant hungry.
Regrettably, our disappointment was compounded by the steep price tag of 300 euros for what was, at best, a mediocre meal. When we expressed our dissatisfaction with the food quality, we were met with the explanation that taste is subjective, and this was considered "high cuisine." However, we couldn't help but compare this experience to another high cuisine restaurants we've visited, like Joia in Milan, where we've never encountered such a letdown.
