Don’t go here if you expect fine dining quality!
First of all, booking a table was a complete nightmare. They would reply maybe once a week at most, and sometimes I had to follow up three times—by both email and phone—before they would confirm my reservation. I ended up paying a deposit to secure the booking, which was fine, but after payment, they still didn’t respond for a week until I chased them again.
When my reservation was finally confirmed, they suddenly informed me that the chef wouldn’t even be in the restaurant that day and asked if we could move our booking. It took them a whole month and over 15 emails of back-and-forth to discover this. We ended up rearranging other plans to fit the new date, and I regret doing so.
The person I had been emailing promised an “unforgettable evening,” but nothing suggested that they made any special effort. The food was average at best—some dishes were okay, others were downright bad. The bread was so dry it must have been several days old. The menu didn’t match what I had booked for. When I asked the waitress, she blamed seasonal availability, but the menu online was their latest version, and I highly doubt pork is more “in season” than veal. Obviously small changes can be expected, but this was completely different courses. This felt like a poor excuse for serving lower-quality dishes. Since the menu was the reason I booked in the first place, they should have informed us of any changes in advance.
The wine pairing was served far too early, so at times we had wine poured and then waited 40 minutes for the next dish. Overall, it took more than four hours to get through six courses, with 20–40 minutes between plates. Service was mediocre, and the toilets had watered down soap… at this point it almost felt like a joke.
We visited several Michelin-recommended restaurants on our trip, and this was by far the worst.
