"This is the first time I've left a restaurant within this price range feeling a bit let down and dissapointed. Let me sum up why by breaking it down into food, drinks, service and atmosphere.Food: 230 Euro for the menu on new years eve. All the snack servings were "okay" but nothing too special - some even slightly tasteless. 1 point for the "Truffle Mollete" though! The first dish consisted of a kind of lemon foam with caviar and roses. You of course cannot go wrong with caviar. The second serving, a langostine carpaccio with "thai" ingredients was served with a glass of "consommé" or "bisque" on the side. There was no guidance on how we should consume the dish which left us a bit confused. The consistency was not too nice and the "thai" ingredients did not really shine through. Next up scallops which were cooked to perfection - juicy, tender and with loads of thick sauce and shredded truffles. The 4th dish was a slice of sole which unfortunately was overcooked which was a shame as this is a lovely fish. The main course was wagyu and there was lots of it! The dish seemed a bit one dimensional but there was no doubt the produce was of good quality. The dessert were a gorgonzola sandwich with white truffle and then a chocolate dessert to round everything off. Both desserts were great. Several of the warm dishes seemed like they had sat a while before arriving at our table as the sauce had started to grow skin on the surface. Drink: 69 Euro for the wine pairing of 5 glasses. This was a bargain if you ask me. Great wines throughout with a mix of German and Spanish wines. Shame the wine pairing was not printed on the menu as I would have loved the names of the wines. Service: all staff were friendly at the arrival and we felt welcome. Sadly the major point of critique with our visit was the complete lack of guidance throughout the evening. There was no storytelling behind the dishes or the wines. The dishes were basically presented as they were on the printed menu. When you go to out to a dine at a restaurant in this league you expect an experience and you expect to be able to sense some pride behind the work of the restaurant. At one point an unfinished glass of wine was removed. You don't do this unless the guest asks for it to be removed - and why pour out a good glass of wine anyway?:) The major D (we believe it was) bumped into one of the chairs at our table throwing one of the guests forward - this was recognized but no apology were presented or anything. It was completely ignored. Some of the staff also did not seem knowledgable or skilled enough for a place like this. This is not a point of critique directed at the staff - this is directed at the restaurant. Atmosphere: we sat in a very quiet room with not much happening around us. It would have been nice to have sat in the main dining room or some place with more life around on such a night. It was very quiet. The hotel was lovely and stylish. Very nice interior."
