Had a fun time at minibar (as expected), but it definitely wasn't everything we built it up to be. That's probably on us since we've had it on our radar for many years. Nonetheless, the meal felt like an incredibly high-end * or a lower **, but obviously that's all situational and subjective.
The highs were the cauliflower (truly amazing dish), the "cheese" walnut dish that tasted like an incredibly pungent Roquefort, the crab, the jamon chawanmushi, and the corn dessert. All the components of the turbot were amazing but the fish itself was clearly overcooked and dry. Everything else was good to very good with the exception of the tuna dish, which seemed incredibly out of place and underwhelming. Did not care too much for most of the pairings with the exception of the Chenin Blanc and the Super Tuscan. Service was mostly fun and engaging.
I'll also add that there weren't any over-the-top bullshit
supplement offerings which I'm hating more and more these days.
I would definitely recommend a visit, and in all reality, I would happily go back during a different season.
