If you are not adventurous with taste, don't come here; after all the chef is Japanese, ingredients are Japanese, and all dishes cooked in a European style for the crowd in Bangkok. If you want innovation in taste, this is the place to be.
For the price you pay, service is impeccable, live musicians are great ( though sometimes playing fast Beethoven isn't exactly good for chewing, you might choke)
The food is very very very innovative. So there are definitely some that I can't understand due to my lack of cultural culinary knowledge.
Beef was great, both fishes served were paired beautifully with their sauces. Duck, foie gras and barley reminded me of home.
Couldn't understand scallop jelly, lobster and the complimentary tapas. Too complex for me.
The dish that perplexed me the most was the deer. It was tender to the bite, but as I chewed on it, it grew mushy. It's a very new experience to me for meat.
I was glad that the chef educated me about game meat. So the taste of the meat varies according to when the deer was killed and sent to the butcher; Sometimes deer that was killed earlier may only be sent to the butcher after 2 days. So it really depends on your luck. This gives a variety of taste and texture to the meat quality of the deer.
After educating me on the finer details on deer meat, I was given a complimentary glass of muscato. A brilliant touch and a crowd winner.
I love both deserts; one was made of rice, the other was made of 80% dark cacao with no sugar added. They were heavenly.
Oh oh they give you a special gift in a nice paper bag, some special salt and their menu in an envelope. It felt like a certificate for participating in a culinary adventure đ
Would I come again? I would. But I won't be ordering cocktails. They are a tad expensive. After all they do make their own ice and probably need to make back their money on the...
   Read moreMy wife and I had the tasting menu at the end of January this year. The restaurant interior itself is stunning, so is the view the live music is a beautiful touch. Looking at the menu composition however we were disappointed with the lack of creativity, the balance was just off. The surprise moments you would expect in terms of palette experience, different textures and techniques in a 2 star restaurant were generally missing; the dishes were way too heavy (e.g. Risotto with scallop, Uni and black truffle) and black truffle was used in too many dishes which just felt really uninspired and reminded me of the âoldâ way of French cuisine. The so called âsignature dishâ is a A5 Wagyu steak which is a great product but again lacked any imagination in terms of the preparation. The amuse bouche included some squid which was chewy, which simply cannot happen in this price category. The desserts and petit fours were overly sweet. Out of all courses there was only one course that stood out positively which was the raw shrimp crudo with yuzu. The wine menu is extensive but the prizes feel like a rip-off with not bottle available under USD 150. I consulted the sommelier only briefly as I had made a pre selection; he saw this apparently as an affront and subsequently showed an attitude and didnât make it back to our table.
I personally canât understand how the Michelin Guide has been awarding this restaurant two stars for five or six years in a row as it was unfortunately a massive disappointment with completely unhealthy cost quality ratio.
My wife and I were almost happy when the dinner was over but left with a very sad feeling as we very much looked forward to...

From the moment we walked through the door, the customer service impressed us, reaching a level worthy of 2 Michelin-stars restaurants. The staff, with their warmth and professionalism, made us feel special every step of the way. We were seated at table 11 and enjoyed the exclusive tasting menu crafted by Chef Ismael. Although we didnât have the chance to meet Chef Ryuki in person, the quality of Chef Ismaelâs cuisine was outstanding. Every dish was a work of art, not only delighting the taste buds but also telling its own unique story. Chef Ismaelâs passion and dedication were reflected in every detail, making each bite a memorable experience. The Mezzaluna team stood out as the best weâve ever encountered in terms of customer service. The kindness and attentiveness of every staff member made us feel right at home, and their professionalism took the experience to another level.The grand finale of the evening was the dessert by Chef Clothilde, a masterpiece that closed this culinary adventure with the perfect sweet touch.
