Initially the reservation had been lost once over the phone, but staff were very attentive and helpful thereafter. The free corkage policy allowed me to take some decent wine and the restaurant accommodated me in letting me bring a Pomerol in for decanting several hours ahead of time.
The food was of a very good standard and excellent for the price. My girlfriend and I both had foie gras to start, and this was done to a consistency I appreciated (personally not over-keen on undercooked liver).
My girlfriend then had a mushroom soup which was good in texture and taste. The amuse-bouche had been a vodka and herb shooter which was interesting if not special. Palette cleanser of lychee sorbet was good and not too sweet, very refreshing.
For main courses I had the duck which was very decent, though not sure about the sauerkraut base as an accompaniment. My girlfriend had the Kobe beef which was outstanding, a medium-rare done to perfection, great texture and tasted fantastic, just what we had wished for.
After this we shared a dessert and cheeseboard. The cheeseboard was perhaps too unrelentingly strong - all four, even the Emmenthaler, took quite some nose (this suited my taste but not my girlfriend). The apple crumble was very good however, served at a nice temperature and very warming.
Total bill very reasonable for the level of food I throught. Staff were attentive with the pouring the wine. The ambience is curious since it looked a bit plastic when we walked in but it grows on you. There was a live band the night we went, which I had not expected, and made things a little loud at times. Also take some extra clothing since the small space is susceptible to the air con!
