Restaurante Cipresaia — Restaurant in Girona

Overall, just an okay experience for the price range they are charging.

We had the spicy potatoes, baby razor clams, duck carpaccio, and octopus leg. The duck carpaccio was supposed to have crispy chicken skin on it, but the waitress did not mention that they were out of it. When the busser brought it, he mentioned chicken skin, even though there was none. We asked our waitress about it, and she offered to switch it to something else, to which we said it was fine to keep. She then offered to take $4 off the dish.

When the bill came, they initially forgot to put in the carpaccio order. She took the bill back, and didn’t mention why. When it came back, the bill was higher, and we didn’t know why, and she insisted that nothing had changed. We then saw that the price increased by the duck carpaccio, but now with only a $3 discount.

Now, I don’t care about the $1 difference, but not keeping your initial word for the discount is another story.

For the price that they were charging, the taste of the food was just okay. Service could have been a bit better - they clear the plates multiple times between entrees which is nice, but end up kind of slamming the new clean plates on the table when you receive them.

Overall was just an okay experience. I...

The place is nicely decorated, the service was good, the visual presentation of the dishes was also good. The problem is that the food itself left a lot to desire. 1. Bravas: not good at all. Wrong type of potato wrongly cooked. Sauce not memorable. I would expect much more from a restaurant-grade bravas than this, especially a higher-end restaurant like this one that charges fine-dining cuisine prices. 2. Canelloni: it was good, maybe the only dish that more or less met expectations. 3. Both the maigret and the sweetbread (lletons) had an off-taste of a chemical nature, which I attribute to the choice of combustion materials in their charcoal cooking system or bad combustion residue. They should look into this, as it spoils the taste. 4. The wan-tun themselves were ok, but the dipping sauce was really unblananced and ultimately unpallatable and uninspired. All in all it ended up being what I call an instagram experience, where the food is incredibly photogenic but does not pass the taste test. Considering the quite high prices, I cannot in good faith recommend visiting, especially with much better options locally for...

Cuando decidí que me apetecía probar este restaurante hice la reserva mediante su sistema de reservas online. Este me permitía reservar mesa hasta las 22.30h, pero en mi caso opté por reservar a las 22:15h. Hemos llegado al restaurante antes de la hora, para ser exactos a las 22.10h y nos ha recibido la jefa de sala advirtiéndonos de que nos había estado llamando porque su cocina cierra a las 22.30h, comentando que no sabe el motivo por el que su sistema de reservas permite reservar tan tarde mesa. Añadiendo que igualmente nos preparaban la mesa. Antes de seguir y opinar sobre los platos, no puedes recibir así a unos clientes que han hecho la reserva con los medios que pone el restaurante, y menos teniendo en cuenta que aún siendo una noche de lluvia y estando el restaurante en el casco antiguo lejos de parkings, llegábamos antes de la hora. En cuanto a los platos, no están al nivel de su precio. Pedimos las coquetas, que aún teniendo fritura y texturas correctas, el sabor es bueno pero plano. Las bravas podríamos decir que en términos generales estaban buenas, pero teniendo en cuenta que la mayonesa está bastante subida de ajo y que la textura de la patata no es la mejor, no compensa el precio que tienen. La terrina de llebre salvatge es correcta, pero la carne resulta bastante seca y en muchos casos dura, en nuestro caso solo había una pequeña porción de foie, la única parte tierna del plato. Aunque cabe decir que la ensalada que lo acompaña está muy bien ejecutada. Por último en lo que a platos salados se refiere, el steak tartar de ciervo, fue la decepción más grande. El tamaño de la carne demasiado grande para ser un steak tartar, sin el punto de picante que pedimos, con un condimento que anulaba el sabor de la carne y con un punto ahumado excesivo que acababa del todo con el sabor del plato. En cuanto al postre, pedimos flan de huevo. Resultó no ser un flan de huevo como tal, sino uno que llevaba queso o algo parecido, al que le faltaba que el caramelo estuviera correctamente caramelizado y cantidad para compensar la cremosidad del flan. Teniendo en cuenta el precio y el cómo han gestionado SU problema con el sistema de reservas, me veo obligada a no recomendar este...
