Pluses:
- Balanced menu. Menu provides dishes of different ingredients and textures. You will try fish, seafood, meat, vegetables and sweets. Sauces brilliantly accompany every dish.
- Wine pairing. Applauses to sommelier. Perfect match of local wines.
- Atmosphere. Stuff really makes everything to make your evening perfect and relaxed. Table provides you privacy.

Don’t like
- we took 11 course menu. Let’s speak openly - it is 6 course menu with good compliments. When you go to Michelin restaurant, you expect to have some compliments from chef and usually they are not part of a course menu.
- I clarified at the beginning what will be price for menu with wine pairing. So I was quite surprised that this price includes only 3 glasses to 11 course menu. And to have 6 glasses, we need to pay additionally 40 EUR pp. Why not include this 40 EUR and provide good option of menu with wine pairing? You don’t expect to have just 3 glasses to 11 course menu.

Overall, we enjoyed evening. Many thanks to the team and chef!

Incredible experience. We went for dinner on a Wednesday, and the entire experience, from walking into the tower, to the time we left, was incredible. The meal and wine pairings were absolutely on point, and the service was impeccable (if a bit decadent). If you're looking for a high end experience, at a high end price, you can't go wrong. I would not be surprised to see this place earn a second star.

What an absolutely fantastic experience! Each moment and bite was clearly curated with care and attention, with the ingredients chosen to enhance the flavor and taste. With the food and ambiance on one side, Chef Silvestre and his staff were also extremely warm, welcoming and witty! It was such a pleasure and privilege to have been able to have been able to experience their hard work.

What a phenomenal place. Everything exceeded our expectations, the views were gorgeous, the service was exceptional and the most important the food was out of this world. Every dish was so thoughtfully prepared and presented in such a beautiful way. We eat at michelin star restaurants a lot but it’s rare for us where every single dish was a delight. we opted for the 14 course meal and we didn’t regret it at all. What we really liked was the pace of the food, you could take the time you needed to enjoy the dish but once you were done it probably didn’t take more than 50 seconds (hence the name of the restaurant) for the next dish to be served. This made the experience very exciting and never boring. The service in general was impeccable and the wait staff are very attentive.
I highly recommend trying this restaurant.
we made our reservation rather last minute and submitted a reservation request and they emailed me back very quickly to confirm my reservation.
