The dishes are attempting to masquerade what you might think a chef would do, but they are a sorry excuse to the profession. On top, the owner is greedy and over charged us. We asked for a special meal for our anniversary, And in the end we were charged €230 for dishes that cost €138 in the menu. The owner did not have a good explanation why. We ended up paying, because we didn't want to fight on our anniversary.

There were two types of tasting menus, and we wanted two different ones so we could share. The owner said, “Don’t worry, we’ll arrange something tasty and varied for you.” Each tasting menu was €68, plus two glasses of wine. Then we got the bill — €227! When we asked how it added up to that amount, since we ate exactly what was listed on the tasting menus, he started explaining that it was “different,” and giving us all kinds of excuses. Really ridiculous. As for the food: the presentation tries to look fancy, but the flavors don’t really come together. Ravioli filled with truffle and orange zest — all you taste is the orange. Cocoa pasta with meat and hazelnuts on top — all you taste is the nuts. The Parmesan tasted like it had been pre-grated and sitting out for a while. And if the restaurant’s concept is truffle, then why did they grate fresh truffle on only one dish — and only after we asked? In the photo: the glass of wine. Bottom line: no.
