This is restaurant seems to focus on form over taste. I found the dishes to be neatly presented, but lacking in intelligent flavor composition.
The lunch started with bread service. The fresh butter was smooth and creamy. The bread was unmemorable.
The fried veal sweetbreads was an odd dish. The minicorns were super crunchy and just odd to have on a plate that was trying to be subtle. The sweetbreads were ok. Most of the flavor profile was dominated by the fried batter.
Next came the rabbit. It tasted a lot like ham. The execution was good. But the rabbit lacked complex flavor. I found the accompanying pasta to be fresh and tasty, but somewhat undercooked. The bits of sauce on the plate for extremely sour and offputting.
The dessert wasn't impressive. Though it may look good, the brownie had very dull flavor. It tasted primarily of uncooked flower and cocoa (needed more sugar). The sorbet, on the other hand, was extremely tart. These elements of the dish didn't balance well.
I found this meal to be quite an underperformance considering the award of excellence this establishment received. I expect better. read more
