Tony and his team at the bar did an outstanding job! The food is incredible! and the wine list too! We had a tour to the kitchen and the whole restaurant it’s one in the world! Definitely this is the best 1 Michelin star we have ever been! We Think it deserves minimum 2 stars…

Vegetables are average with nothing special. Things are not balanced leaning towards saltier flavours with minimal counterbalance of other flavours. Ingredients are not easy to point out and is overpowered by the salt mismatched sauces despite the main focus being the ingredients in most of the dishes. Service is horrendous considering there were only 4 tables for dinner and we’re in the centre. Multiple waiters came to my table and walked past my table but my wine glass and water were empty and ignored 5 times by people attending to the table. This is basic. If people are lazy, at least put the bottle of water or wine glass within arm’s length so I can pour it myself. After alerting a FEW people, they finally topped up my water and wine. Come on, train your service staff better instead of letting them use their phones or talk to each other all the time at the front of the restaurant. Would not recommend unless there’s lack of food options nearby

This ranks among my most disappointing meals. The highlight of the meal was the private select wine pairing. The Somm was wonderful; he was really the only driving force behind the meal. I looked forward to each new wine. The Ambience was solid! The service was kind and very attentive. The food feels lost. The menu started nicely with the initial bites, but as the meal progressed, we devolved into increasingly unfocused, poorly executed dishes. Salt levels in dishes were all over the place, starting high and ending nonexistent. Not a single dish wowed or felt well executed. While there was no standout star of the meal, three dishes were particularly bad. The soupy egg yolk mess: apparently this was egg yolk, ham and smoked eel. It was all soupy sadness and felt like eating a raw egg yolk with a few unrecognizable accompaniments. The primary fish course was inedible, flavorless, and undercooked. The main meat course, while cooked nicely, didn't taste like anything and felt like it was missing a general identity. As a way to finish a tasting menu it felt sad and unfinished. I wished for the best, my experience was far from that. Given everything, I can not recommend this to anyone.
