I've heard many good things about this restaurant and it is indeed quite difficult to book. I tend to dislike restaurants that serves 2 rounds of tables, I never feel respected as a customer in arrangements like that but nevertheless I have no choice in this occasion today. We booked a dinner for 10 at the private room as I was advised that I should get more people coming to this restaurant as some of their famous dishes are good for sharing. As it was a friend's birthday so her husband had the
As it was a friend's birthday so her husband had the honor to order the food. We started off with a potato salad with a half cooked egg on top. Quite nice.
Some cold cuts. Cold cuts are pretty similar everywhere unless if they source really premium stuff and charge you a crazy price, so nothing much to say about the cold cuts.
Grilled green peppers. I really liked them, they're not too spicy and very tasty.
Steak tartare. Probably not the best ones I've had but fair.
Chicken wings. Just didn't really expect to see this here in a "FINE" dinning surrounding.
Another salad or potato like thing. Can't remember what exactly this is now.
We had two pasta to share, friend was generous enough to order some white truffles for that which was great. However the quality of their white truffles were not too great.
And the second pasta. I thought the pasta was pretty decent. I had more than I should.
Then came the main dishes, started with a salt baked chicken and then cooked with cream sauce. So it went from this:
Into this below. As fancy as it looks, I think they probably need to introduce a bit more flavors to the chicken. You can only taste cream and nothing else and the cream was so rich that it even covered the original taste of the chicken. I believe that was not intended.
And then some semi seafood paella came. Again I'm not sure if it's just me but I think they forgot to add salt!
And then some dry aged beef. Again as long as the beef is good then steak would always be fine, at least for the gentlemen.
Can I say that I'm very satisfied with the meal? Probably not. Was it worth the wait and booking in advance? I didn't think so. In conclusion:
1) Seems like they are trying to do a bit of everything, Italian, Spanish, French however none of the food was super impressive
2) Considering the style of cooking and ingredients I guess this restaurant is probably overpriced
3) Personally am not a big fan of eating either at 6 or 8:30
4) Food is not bad in any sense but I guess just not worth all the hassle of booking and a late dinner.
Not too sure if I'll come again, I certainly wouldn't initiate.
