While the views were exceptional and the food presentation innovative, the €500+ price tag did not reflect the quality of the cuisine. The Chef 's Experience Option fell short of expectations; the menu lacked the premium ingredients one would anticipate at that price point, notably the absence of wagyu. Similarly, the Elite wine pairing was poorly timed and lacked adequate explanation of its complementarity to the dishes. In summary, the overall experience was unsatisfactory and did not justify the expense. In contrast, the restaurant on Floor 1 provided superior service and cuisine, a far more suitable choice for our anniversary celebration, as my wife repeatedly suggested.

Unfortunately, the culinary experience does not match the scenic backdrop. Despite high expectations, each dish fell short of delivering the anticipated flavors, and there were discrepancies between the menu descriptions and the servers' explanations. For instance, I ordered purple shrimp with no indication that it would be served as ceviche.the rabbit gnocchi was unexpectedly the size of meatballs! The amuse-bouche was a strange combination of olive mousse and chocolate. We have sophisticated palettes but this just wasn’t harmonious. The service appeared to be somewhat disorganized, with staff seemingly unsure of their roles. Although we were informed that the dining experience would be a leisurely two-hour affair, the courses were served quickly maybe to move on to their next seating. In summary, the experience at Le Cupole does not justify the expense. For those seeking excellent service and quality dishes, I recommend dining at the Veranda on the main floor. The Silk Bar is also an excellent option. Regrettably, Le Cupole does not meet the standard one would expect.
