I do like the idea and I really try to like it , but until the 4 dishes , I know this place is a black hole of fun. if this is not Michelin restaurant then I might give them a better rating but since it got a star my expectation are higher , and I do not think they truly deserve it. I wonder why most starred restaurant are lack of flavor ?

Usually, good restaurants offer a half wine menu as well, at PAKTA the would only serve a full wine menu… We just ordered a bottle and kicked off with the food menu. The first four dishes were excellent. Amazing flavors and a nice variety. But from the fifth dish, it started to decline. The dishes just got a bit worse. The omelet for example really didn’t taste well, a bit sallow. There was another dish where you basically just tasted chili, the balance was completely gone. When we arrived at the 10th dish, they asked us to scale up the food for another 38 euros each. Like: ‘if you really want to eat well, buy this upgrade’. The next dishes were not as good as expected. I’ve had more surprising dishes at the local Japanese sushi bar… Another thing was that the waiters just dropped the food on the table, and took of. You had to call them back if you wanted to ask something. For the last dishes, we ordered the saki. While pouring it in the glass we noticed there was fungus in the saki. They just swapped the glass and left the bottle on the table. While pouring the second glass we noticed there was still fungus in it. But only then they replaced the bottle. We still had to pay for it. All with all we had one of the worst fine dining experiences so far. Unfriendly staff, below average food and rotten saki. If you want to pay a lot of money for a bad experience, this is the place to go.
