Had an amazing anniversary lunch. Impeccable food and service. Pricing is fair for the quality you get.
I enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant - I was sat surrounded by couples on first dates, friends reconnecting and families celebrating milestones. The vibe felt luxurious. The service was top notch, I wish I got the name of our server but they were very helpful in my selection for the night. I opted for the set menu. Food - as someone who tries to eat gluten free they arranged my meal in a way which meant I could eat it without stressing. Delicious and fresh produce, my meat was cooked to perfection. Although I know that a good meal does not always equal a large portion size, I would enjoy seeing more variety on the menu or plate as the price for a set menu meal in my opinion calls for a little more in the dish. The flavours complimented eachother well but I was wishing I was more than a 6/10 in fullness.
Food, especially main meals, was disappointing. Chicken and sword fish was overcooked and dry. Dessert was good - tiramisu and panna cotta were good. Wine also good but waitress failed to change wine glasses between white and red. Overall ok but disappointing and not up to the standard that the price and venue reflects.
We visited on a quiet and rainy day, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Chef Matias not only cooked wonderfully but also welcomed us with great care and dedication, kindly explaining each dish in detail, thanks for all the chefs. A truly warm and good experience. Highly recommend!
I had a booking for 8.30 for three people and the table wasnt ready by the booking time, which wasnt a big deal but is important context for the rest of the night. By the time we were seated it was about 8.45. Entrees and first round of drinks came out, wine was great, cocktails were great, bread and prosciutto were very good. An absolute stand-out was the beef carpaccio, it was excellent and the best meal of the day. We were alerted by our waiter (who had great customer service skills) that kitchen closed at 9.30, and that we'd need to order immediately. Fortunately we had looked at the mains and had some in mind. We ordered beef cheek risotto and chicken breast. The chicken breast was good, well cooked but the risotto was average. It had a very strong red wine taste that overpowered everything else. To finish, we ordered the two cows cheeses which were good, albeit expensive for what they are. Overall, Bill came to 300 dollars with tip for 3 people. I was left full, but longing for something a bit more fulfilling. For future, I would not book any later than 8pm, and at this stage won't come back until the menu is changed, as the price couldn't justify a return for the same dishes. Overall, worth a visit, but not a stay.
