My friends visited one year ago and raved about this place so much, they tried booking it a year out. We did the chefs taster and got these: - Pineapple water as a palate cleanser: 4/5 subtle and sweet - Mussels with a crisp: 4/5. Kind of bland but nice crisp to it - Marinated tomatoes topped with fresh greens, herbs, and some foam: 5/5 - Shrimp carpaccio: 2/5 ugh. Very fresh shrimp but with shrimp paste, shrimp pieces, the head, tail and guts, all you tasted was fishy shrimp. All 5 of us disliked it. - Sea bass in ratatouille sauce: 3/5. Bland and the ratatouille sauce was meh. - Chocolate caramel lava cake with whiskey filling, and spun whiskey sugar. It came with elderflower ice cream. 5/5! Hands down blew everyone away - Lemon caviar tart palate cleanser: 4/5 delish and beautiful presentation. Just a very tad too tart but still so good. The fresh breads, butter, etc were all good but wish it was toasty and warm. For a Michelin restaurant, it honestly should be! They have a very extensive wine list but I didn't like the champagne we got. However the red wine was fabulous. Would I return? No. But I'm glad I tried it on an epic day as the Tour de France.
