I was nervous booking this given we were with our 5 year old son but what an experience. We had no reason to worry. First off, there’s a couple of options for kids like chicken fries or pasta, so you can rest knowing little picky eaters are satisfied. From start to finish we had a great experience. The table was all ready for us and because it’s the end of the season we were lucky to have the restaurant to ourselves. It was the most beautiful setting and the food was outstanding. We had the 9 tasting menu selection and the only thing I didn’t eat was the salmon dish because I don’t like salmon. Everything else was amazing. The waiter was incredibly helpful and we didn’t feel judged for wearing what we’d travelled in all day either. Think jogging bottoms, hoodies etc. All the staff focused on was ensuring we had a great time and they explained each dish as it arrived. A couple of the dishes were delivered by the chef. Yes, it’s expensive but this is top quality food. I’ve been lucky enough to dine in some of the world’s most luxurious restaurants and this is one of my top five. I unashamedly licked a couple of the plates. 10/10.

When we arrived, the doors opened and Michael escorted us in. He knew my name, took our coats, was delightful in a way that indicated we were good friends there for a beautiful evening. We had the best table in the house. The view was spectacular and the tasting menu divine. I don't drink so though I didn't get the paired wine Michael had nonalcoholic options for every course. And every course was sublime.

It ist part of the main building of the Observatory located in the upper floor of the old barn building. There was a set menu but we were asked for any allergies or personal dislikes upfront. The chef explained every single course of the menue which was mainly from local sources but very creative. Also the accompanying wines were carefully selected and we had asked not to take the full set, but only a few of them not a problem. In total it was really a great experience, worth at least Michelin stars.
