Thank you for the meal — there were some highlights, and a few areas where the balance could be improved.
The sea bream ceviche was fresh and vibrant, though the white tomato element was quite strong on garlic, which slightly overpowered the delicacy of the fish. Similarly, with the asparagus dish, the wild garlic flowers were very intense — I could still taste them on the way home!
The monkfish and sweet potato dish had great warmth and comfort, but the curry notes were a bit too dominant, making the monkfish hard to detect. On the land dish, the miso element was a bit heavy-handed, though the braised lamb itself was incredibly tender and flavorful — definitely a standout.
The cheese course was served at a perfect temperature — a small detail that made a big difference. I also enjoyed the beetroot dish — nicely balanced and thoughtfully composed.
Unfortunately, the macaron dish didn’t quite land for me — the macaron was not baked right . although the strawberry flavour itself was pleasant. Overall, I found the progression of dishes a bit confusing, as the meal moved between Japanese, Indian, and South American influences without a clear narrative or cohesion in style.
