The food here is beyond amazing. I had the feeling there was some one in the kitchen who knows me extremely well and cooks only for me. This cuisine is personal and full of love - I was blown away with every bite. Martin Berasategui...teases out the platonic taste ideal of each ingredient, so it tastes like you always knew it should. There is something deeply sentimental, warm and familiar in his culinary art, which for me places him amongst the Olympians of culinary art in Europe today. The food is divine.
I have one criticism though and that is that the service, which started out extremely attentive and nice, somehow deteriorated throughout the evening, so that we felt a bit abandoned at the end. I am not really sure what happened, but the waning attention and friendliness put a bit of a damper on otherwise incredible dining experience.
Overall some of the best food this world has to offer, with a service that left us a bit disappointed and sad. I guess you can not have something this perfect without a reminder of earthly imperfection.More
