The staff is professional and attentive! The food is good but not overwhelming and you will get a lot of fermented food. At the end the menu says 7 plates but the first 3 come together and it felt more like 1. I like fermented food but not in every dish. And even fermenting honey even though it does not get bad I just didn’t really get. Overall the food just wasn’t really to our taste but that can happen. I also found that the waiters were just about nice. Going to a place like this and paying that amount of money you expect at least a friendly happy atmosphere. And I didn’t really get that. It felt more like they didn’t want to be there. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

Their hyper-local and zero-waste philosophy coupled with awesome talent result in interesting and delicious food that wow the senses. The team of Harrison, Baptiste and Lucy were engaging, fun, attentive and informative. And watching the open kitchen it was clear that they all love doing what they’re doing, and take joy from the smiles and excitement coming from the guests.

More good all of the food we had was amazing white fish with cockles was very special and plating on all was flawless. Only issue the tasting menu felt 1 or even 2 dishes short even with us adding one of the supplements. I imagine this is likely holding them back from higher recognition (michelin or otherwise) Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
