I never leave reviews, but this one warrants it. We’ve been to many tasting menus, from small independent restaurants to Michelin 3-star restaurants, and this was just shockingly bad.
The food was very poor. With one notable exception, the dishes were bland and uninspired. Several of them seemed like good concepts watered down to their most unpalatable, cheapest form. Simple things, like a corn pancake, were poorly executed (e.g., dry and crumbly; the caviar topping was tiny and poorly proportioned to the pancake). We ordered 3 different cocktails; 1 was good, the other 2 were mediocre.
Service was poor. While friendly, it was rushed and sloppy. We did the wine pairing, and dishes were repeatedly served before the wine pairing. They repeatedly reused wine glasses, and gave rather stingy pours. Descriptions of the wine were inconsistently provided and focused more on the identity of the winemaker than on the wine itself. A course was served while one diner was in the restroom, which is appalling at a restaurant marketing itself as fine dining.
The restaurant was a pleasant enough space.
For the price, this restaurant is very bad value. The ingredients used were rather inexpensive, and nothing was done to turn them into impressive, enjoyable dishes. We typically linger at tasting menus, but about halfway through this one we started eagerly wondering when it would end. For the first time ever, we left a tasting menu hungry (we got mcdonald’s afterward, it was awful but still better than probably 8/10 courses).
Only recommend if you don’t care about value for money, and have appropriately low expectations. But really, there are better restaurants. Try Lilia for a (slightly) better experience (don’t do the chef’s counter, though, just order the menu).
