The service was pampering to a fault. I do not need help sitting down, understanding what I ordered (the menu stated it clearly), or filling up my glass of water with a bottle standing on my table. Having ordered the package deal made the choice of dishes easier, when one didn’t have to think about the price for the individual dishes. The food was high quality and sometimes very experimental. Sometimes, experimental meant wonderful combinations of flavour, and sometimes it was a weird mess. I guess for the latter, that’s what I get for ordering ”Pastamisù”. The dining area was an open air balcony, which was nice for a hot summer evening, but the view was unimpressive.

The restaurant was highly talked about but food was ok - not great. It was a beautiful evening but we would not add this to a list of things to do again…
