Vegetarian tasting menu needs improvement. Wine pairing with vegetarian tasting menu was super expensive and did not work very well for us. Courses with different wines washed away our palates instead of enhancing the food taste. It is not unusual to have such wines during a course because the food would require you to taste different variations and techniques prepared by the chef but that does not work if during each course the wine washes away some of the best characteristics of the food.
Service was excellent after our 3rd course. Our server for the first 3 courses simply did not care. During our 4th course and so on - our server changed and that person asked us about our experience after each course and started conversing after each course which is how it should be at a Michelin Star restaurants.
Despite all these flows, service will make you feel like Michelin Star restaurant if you get good servers. There were almost as many servers as guests sitted at the restaurant. From pulling your chair when you are getting up to pushing your chair in when you are sitting down to walk you to the bathroom to serving your courses with silver utensils- will make you feel like you are royalties. One note to the restaurant- please train your staff and have them explain to your guests who are paying premium $$$ that how the wine pairing will work with each course. Also, don’t just say the name of the wine, where it is from and year it was bottled - explain what kind of flavor the wine contains, which ingredients make up that particular wine, and how it will infused and enhance the course.
To make the story short - giving 3 star out of 5 for the tasting menu with wine paring. Not worth the price we paid.
Service was attentive and friendly. Beautiful view from our table. The food was delicious and not as expensive as some reviews stated. However, we did get a bite to eat again later as the portions are smaller than what we eat.
The entire experience was amazing! There are so many little details that you would never get at any other place. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive.
