tl;dr Save your money and eat somewhere else. The worst Michelin star restaurant I've eaten at.
Incredibly rude waitstaff. As another reviewer mentioned they rudely called out how much we chose to tip, tell us 10% was "standard" (it's not), and then reiterate loudly the amount we were tipping. Constantly interrupted during the meal as well.
Poor juice pairings. Ex: A cherry+coffee+chocolate juice was served as the pair to the main venison course. The coffee flavor was entirely overpowering instead of compliment the dish. Most juices were a similarly elaborate affair.
6 course menu is more focused on being "complex" for the sake of complexity rather than flavorful. Also for leaning heavy into a Japanese
Hidden charges. The "welcome drink" offered is not part of the tasting menu and will cost you extra. Not to mention the gall to charge someone spending 200+ Eur/person on a meal an extra 10 Eur/person for water without listing it on the menu (or informing you).
Vegetarian substitutes were below par for a establishment of this caliber.
The views are really not as great as you might think. Only 3 of the tables have a view of the heart of the city (west) and the setting sun.
All in all as someone who has eaten at many Michelin restaurants around the world I cannot reccomend this establishment. The food, drinks, and service are all lacking for the fine dining...
Read moreOur experience was very pleasant and we would definitely come back. All dishes were divine, we absolutely loved the menu. Maybe I would have avoided the complementary earth dessert which was just not on the same level. Regarding the wine we have some mixed feeling about a couple of them, but overall we enjoyed the opportunity to taste some east European wines. Service was splendid but there are a few details to improve, for example picking up on the fact that someone is left handed and pose the glasses and cutlery accordingly, water also could have been served more promptly. Regarding the aperitif I would agree with some other reviewers the price was high and not transparent. A bottle of water was 10 euro, personally I can understand. But overall the price for the menu was fair. Regarding the restaurant itself we loved the interior design, the view over the city was magnificent. Something to improve would be more obvious indications downstairs at the entrance on how to reach the restaurant. The light overall could be improved, it took us a bit to get used to the light which felt like having it a bit directly in the eyes, maybe I would even suggest a bit less light. For the next guests interested to visit the restaurant I would suggest to request if possible a table with the view on the...
Read moreDecor and ambience reminds me of Alice in wonderland and or Peter Pan “fairy tale like.” The seating arrangement for 2 person if you like a view is against the lining of the window facing outwards (like in a cafe) as oppose to traditional two person table top in the middle of the room. The kitchen was behind us with glass over so it was “open kitchen” concept and I love to observe the team as they were super focused.
The staff does extremely well speaking in German and English. They were very personable and provided their favorite wines and were knowledgeable of their menu. Definitely Michelin worthy service. Each dish was presented with an attentive explanation.
The menu i believe is fusion cuisine featuring molecular gastronomy. The “onsen egg.” was the star of the evening and also their chocolate at the end for dessert. I want to point out the wine menu is very unique and noteworthy due to the fact it features mainly wines from Germany and eastwards. We selected the Slovenian bottle that is only carried at this restaurant and it paired beautifully with the dishes. Highly recommend this bottle if you get a...
