"now it is not every week we visit a michelin star restaurant, so this was a special event and it lived quite a lot up to the expectations. the man behind the curtain, now in the cellar and not in the top floor, was wonderful. it was a Wednesday night, a table and we were two couples. we are not sure, but possibly a cancellation, as we only booked a few weeks in advance and the place was full. the decor is very much, polished concrete walls with, for me to represent an art deco feel. sofas are rich white leather with felts (fake, obvious) and beautiful chairs. we had a round drink, as the taxi took us there a little early. we have the menu. it is a set cup menu and all tabs have the same. this menu gave a look over the dinge to come, drinks, wee etc. we have selected the standard wine pairing, but not the less that is per head. they said they were going really well. not to take the wee we thought would not have given the overall fantastic experience. each cure was wonderfully described by each cook, beautifully presented on plates, in dressed and in boxes. every wein for the cure was well described by sommelier. it was a fantastic experience with aromen that burst out of every dish and every wein with its unique taste pairing beautiful. Not to disable any cursor, but to call some favorites. tuna nigiri, dali after delhi (roy garn), ajo blanco. (some cold consommé with a lot of garlic), black caesar (pork, ei in black dust). Puddings....Tiramisu and a chocolate grenache. a great experience. we were there, so it was there, and we were the last there. just a few points for me. the tables are quite large and the sommelier and chefs have really not brought me the description of the table with background noises and music on the side. secondly, I felt the last hour or so there was a urgency to move us between curs with shorter times. actually we don't get all the wein from the previous cure as we were served for the next. I would recommend a previous booking. a great night outside and one should experience them definitiw"

Wow, actually the most incredible meal I've ever had. The dessert is otherworldly, the perfect end to the tasting menu and the atmosphere is incredible, helped by the lovely wait staff. Absolutely worth every penny, I will be coming back again. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

A very interesting experience with foodie friends Majority of courses weren’t to my taste but presented in such an artistic way one could not resist £495 paid in advance for three people and then a £177 bill on the evening for wine, coffee x 2, tap water service charge Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

An absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. The food was stunning and the wine pairing both for alcohol and non alcoholic drinkers just enhanced the experience. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend it. I will be back. Price per person: £100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

One of the best dining experiences at a Michelin star restaurant we've had. Loved the theatre of it all and would recommend to anyone who enjoys this style of food. Went with another couple, one of whom was a head chef of another Michelin star restaurant, and they couldn't have enjoyed it more either. Thank you! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View menu

This was my 5th time of returning. All 4 previous times, service, food everything exceptional. But tonight. Nothing. No good service. Long waits. Terrible. Ended up with a refund and will absolutely not be rebooking. Lots of places that are better to eat at with the same quality. Real shame as this was our favourite and we came twice a year. Sadly now will not be returning. Food: 1

the man behind the curtain is clear what they can expect the diner. this is a theatrical experience, a series of surrealism, sex, surfboards and skelettanekdoten. it is not a question of accepting special requests; there is a show and a vision to deliver, and they are invited to participateake, but not to ad-lib. off- pists is not an option. there were many uhs and aahs: the culinary highlight for me was “emancipation”, the cable signature court, a huge, by a black phone prawnte riese was delicious decadent, opened the black and white gift boxes of brioche, caviar and art foie like christmas. sex wax, tortured as passions fruit, ananas and oysters, was eagerly awaited by our party, though wi...
