The food is gastronomical and therefore not inexpensive, but it is delicious. Definitely an experience.
My review is mainly targeted to the human interaction. I ordered a 3 course menu and asked if I could exchange the desert with one of the first courses. I was told that it could have a slight price increase.
At the end I was charged for a 4 course menu, but I did not get the desert as I wasn't aware the price increase would actually result in the price of the 4 course menu. I am disappointed that there was no communication during the whole serving time about this topic.
Also, the waiter touched the drinking cups for the soup and coffee mugs at the rim with his fingers. In such an establishment, one would expect at least a bit more hygienic service.
