This review dates back to last year. I have been hesitant to post because I was a bit disappointed and felt it may have been just a bad day. Yet, can a 3 star Michelin restaurant afford a bad day? I think not. First things first, the food was very good, this is undeniable. For me the wow effect was missing, but the dishes were creative and well executed. Flavours and preparations from different influences. Still, I would not rate it higher than most 3 stars I have been to, or even some 2 stars (in my personal opinion, the Lakeside in Hamburg is far better). Service was very good and friendly. With a notable exception, the Sommelier. He seemed genuinely disappointed or disinterested when we selected our own bottle against the pairing. He also did not seem to know much about the wine (Priorat), which he admitted. This is a first for me. I am fully aware that he had received awards, but none of those qualities were shining on that day. Besides, he put his full attention to a group of four people, largely ignoring not only us but all others parties too. The chef was not present on that night. It can happen, but disappointing nonetheless. This is a harsh review, and I did not rate it any lower because of the exceptional dedication of the kitchen and service staff, besides aforementioned exceptions. Perhaps it was a bad day, but I would not go back.
