Great farm to table concept, yet food is disappointing. Went there for a lunch tasting menu, had to say that I didnt like 4 out of ~7 dishes being served. There are quite a few dishes with ingredient or seasoning that i dont like, eg spirulina and rose water, it would be great if they give people options to avoid such situation. Food : Mostly basic pantry stable and nothing fancy, like herbs, beetroot, celeriac, squid and trout. I was shocked that the first two courses were literally a few pieces of herbs from the garden, one deep fried and one in tempura style. Bread were cold. You could tell that most of the dishes are pre-cooked/prepared but not cooked on the spot. Some food are reheated and felt barely lukewarm. Chocolate cookie that they gave after your paid the bill was the best of the meal. Portion : Tiny teeny Service : The young staff were lovely but seemed untrained. The chef was the one going around every table to present the dishes and told people how she connects with each local producer. Nice story but i am coming for good food.
