We opted for the 12-course tasting menu based on the staff’s recommendation.

For a restaurant with two Michelin stars, the food experience was impressive—most dishes were excellent, though not all managed to hit the mark.

Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about the service. It was a letdown. The staff seemed rushed, offering hurried explanations of the dishes as if they were obligated rather than passionate about their work. The lack of attentiveness impacted our overall experience. For example, when the sun shifted and started glaring directly at our table, no one offered assistance or adjusted the situation. I had to move my own plate and change seats just to avoid the discomfort. For a restaurant at this level, such neglect feels unacceptable. Quite disappointing.

At €250 per person, the experience fell short of expectations, aside from the absolutely stunning view.

Not really recommended for the price you paid.

A good restaurant that delivers on its 2 star reputation although the 21 portion was a little too much food.

As you'd expect, everything was exquisitely prepared and had little touches, like a dish that's baked at your table, to make the experience fun and entertaining. Most of the dishes are seafood so come prepared.

The only downside was it was just too much food. The smaller offering, 12 dishes is not enough either. I would have liked an 18 or 19 course instead but otherwise it was a great meal!

I celebrated my birthday here, and it was by far the best dining experience of my life. From the exquisite presentation and intricate flavors to the attentive service and warm ambiance, everything was flawlessly executed. I loved how each course unfolded like a storyline, immersing us in the theme and the unique story behind each dish, as well as the flavors we were about to experience. We even had the chance to see the kitchen—the heart of all this culinary artistry.

The restaurant offers a set menu with up to 21 dishes (I chose the full 21-course option), which was both delicious and filling—you’ll definitely need to be so hungry!

Nearly every dish amazed me with new and memorable flavors, making it an unforgettable experience overall 😍

This is a very good dining experience and worth a visit. The service is worthy of the Michelin experience and the food is excellent. The wine pairings were perfect for the tasting menu. The story with the dinner with the game and cartoon boards were out of place for a quality restaurant.
