Food itself was innovative and well prepared. But the portion were super tiny to the point that we left hungry after 8 courses. One would expect small portions in fine dining but a course consisting of one (!) olive is not acceptable as a course, in my opinion. Also a course with one boiled potato as it’s main ingredient, is not something that you would expect getting as course in any restaurant…
There was no ready option for wine pairing to all of the courses. They offer a ”beverage” package to the menu, but this included wine only to some of the courses and 2 of the courses had a juice paring and last course with a choice of coffee or tea. We wanted to substitute the juices and coffee with wines and asked to see a wine list. This however, was not possible, because "it would have ruined the atmosphere of the dining room". We did get the wines for all of the courses but without the opportunity the choose. Some of the wine pairings were excellent whereas some did not compliment the flavors of the course at all.
When the bill came, we had been charged up to 25 euros per glass for some of the wines we had. Even in Finland, I think that is an outrageous price for wine! I did comment on that to the staff, the answer was that the wines were of ”3 star quality” and they had to open some bottle just for us which put the prices up…Without seeing a wine list with prices first, I felt we were being scammed. Even though we did enjoy many of the flavors that were served to us and the waiters were super polite and professional, the overall experience left us hungry and we felt it was not good value for the money (410 euros for 2 persons) we spent.
