While much of the evening was delightful, there were a few blemishes in the service and execution that felt a bit off. The service, while well-intentioned, was unfortunately inconsistent. We found the explanations of the dishes to be a bit lacking, which led to a bit of a surprise during the tasting menu. One course featured Kalbsmilken (Veal Sweetbreads). For those unfamiliar with the region’s delicacies, be aware: this is a gland from the throat of a calf with a very specific, soft consistency similar to brain. While I know this is a prized gourmet item, it was unfortunately not my cup of tea and I would have preferred to skip it had it been explained more clearly. To the team 's credit, they were very gracious and kind enough to bring me a replacement course without hesitation. Additionally, we noticed a small lapse in the main course service: we weren 't asked how we would like our beef prepared. At this level of dining, that felt like a missed detail. Despite these minor setbacks, the rest of the dinner was lovely, the flavors were refined, and the atmosphere was wonderful. It was a good experience, though perhaps just shy of the flawless mark that defines the very best in the guide.

Sauer pickled radish or similar stuff in like all first four courses that shades most other flavors.
