The beef tartar was hand chopped into small dices to my liking, because it preserves the texture of the meat, and no tendons were in the cut that I had. The deep fried egg yolk offered creaminess and the pickled cucumber offered crunchiness; plus it was great that the gochujang was not overpowering. The lentil stew was very flavorful, despite lentils being one of my less favored ingredients, I still enjoy this dish very much. The cod was cooked perfectly, the firmness of the fish meat was preserved, and the skin was ultra crispy. The champagne sauce matched so well with the cod, which complimented the umami of the fish to the point. The Iberico pork cheeks were really tender and juicy, and the pork odor didn’t exist at all. With the creamy and filling but not heavy Agnolotti, this dish brought me great satisfaction. The baba au rum was soft and fluffy, and it was almost refreshing with the usage of citrus sauce.
The only improvement that could be done is that we had to request our dishes being changed. It would be nice to be offered to change plates since the dishes were made to be shared and you don’t want the flavors to be mixed.
They said it was courses to share. But presentation when sharing got messy and some of the flavourful (small amount) of sauces sat on the main plate and were not able to be transferred to the plates.
From the moment when I booked a table it gave me expectations. I was celebrating my birthday, mentioned it in the reservation. When we get there, the table was alright but nothing was said, even after the dinner, there was no small candle with the dessert, nothing.
Than, the drinks came, and everything was fine at that point and we chose the 95€ menu, ok, interesting.
The bread comes and the amuse bouche, delicious, that i can’t put any faults.
But than comes the 1st course, and the 2nd and all the others, in a rush. The restaurant had 5 more tables, that were empty, completely empty, there was no need to rush us like they did. We were seeing the rush, so we decided to eat slower, and they came to ask me if I was “done with my food” while there was still half of the food there. Come on guys…
Also, the portions were crazy small. Which i understand, and in terms of taste they were delicious, but it came out so fast, and the main dish was as small as the starter, dare I say even smaller (?).
We spent 220€ on a dinner, we only ordered one cocktail each and one water, bc there was not even time for us to order more, and I didn’t feel like the servers wanted to sell more.
I was disappointed, on my birthday to say the least.
And, this is being reviewed by someone that works in the fine dining industry, so it’s not just bitterness, it’s something that really was just “meh”.
I hope this can be something that you can read, and hopefully understand.
I’ll try coming back in the future to give this place another shot.
Edit: also, the terrace is on a loud street, and if you are inside, on a hot summer and all the doors are open, you can listen to the gorgeous sounds of the traffic (scooters and cars) its amazing.

Food wise , the fried chicken salad reminds me of those I got at 7/11 in Japan
steak tartare has too much sauce. The atmosphere is strange as they kept on playing funking music
