Good overall (food quality wise), but some important aspects kind of ruined the experience, which is not acceptable for a starred Michelin restaurant: Serious pacing issues: we spent 3 hours for dinner, which is way too long for delivering a nice and memorable experience. Some dishes arrived more than 20 mins apart from each other. Inattentive staff: make sure to offer a bread refill when the bread plate is empty; the guest should not have to ask for it. We additionally felt forced to have a wine refill; if the guest says no once, it is not necessary to ask it once more 5 mins later.

The restaurant's staff are extremely friendly, very attentive to the guests' needs, their service is truly warming! As a foreigner, they put in a lot of effort to communicate with us in English. I made a reservation in advance and confirmed it with them via email, the communication was very smooth, booking is not a problem here for a foreigner! During this dinner, my favorite dish was the 'CRAB.' The combination of yugart, avocado, crab meat and apple was very unique and appetizing. The first dessert was also stunning, with multi layers of Espresso, yogurt sorbet, chestnut, pear （seasonal fruit,Crème brulée, it’s a impressive dessert. For me, i usually eat light dinner, the main course ‘Duck’ was a bit salty and rich for me, however, there was a glass of cold water after the meal, which perfectly kicks off the dessert journey. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this dinner and would recommend it to friends who want to experience fine...
