Very average experience. Perhaps the bar had been set too high following an exceptional meal the previous night at Restaurant Oliva but it got off to a disappointing start. As another reviewer below also experienced, the female waitress has absolutely no people skills and gives off the vibe that she doesn’t want to be there. The sommelier on the other hand has so much passion and knowledge and selects very interesting wines.
We sat for a good 5 minutes without a menu, it’s basic service that a menu is the first thing you give someone as soon as they sit down, even though we knew we wanted the tasting menu. It all felt too slow to begin with that left a bitter taste in my mouth for the rest of the night. It took 30 minutes before we seen the ‘snack’, thankfully food came a little quicker after that!
The pork cheek was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the dessert, starters were also good but the fish course was very bland. Overall the food was good not great and certainly not a patch on our previous nights experience.
Lastly I felt the restaurant lacked a bit of atmosphere, I can’t put my finger on exactly what it was. Maybe I would return in the future to give it a second chance but I won’t be rushing back sadly.
