I come from NYC, one of the most heavily ladened Michelin starred cities in the world. I have eaten is many Michelin starred restaurants and this one just does not compare when it comes to taste.At first glance, this place is actually incredible. The staff are exceptionally professional, welcoming and attentive. They find a good balance of when to bother you and when to leave you alone. They make sure to refill your wine and your water. they are all well dressed and presentable. they know the menus and dishes well.The decor is phenomenal. It really offers a fine dining sort of feel. Though the stools with the (hopefully fake) cow fur that you can use to put your purse or jacket is a bit much.They offer an a-la carte menu as well as a tasting menu (though the a-la carte menu requires three coures...).The bathroom: SUPER FANCYThe presentation of the dishes: OUTSTANDING! The chef and his crew and truly artists. The presentations were so impressive I couldn't complain about thatWhy did I give it two stars? Because it is truly not worth the money because the food is awful. Now, not everything was awful. Let go through them in order1) Bread - at the bar they offered these bread crisps that each had their own individual flavor (ie. seawead, oat...I forget the rest). At the table, they offered this great sourdough bread, however, it only had a hint of sourdough flavor and tasted more like...bread.2) Amouse Bouche: this delicious little sampling of tiny balled carrots and cucumbers in this dill and ginger sauce was intense and amazing. It set the stage for the failure to come3) Scallops: Again, amazing presentation. They cook it in the shell and put a pastry around the opening which must be cracked open like you are opening up a present. The scallops stew in their own juices which seems like such a great idea. however, at first bite, the mind wonders: where is the taste? It tasted like...nothing. I felt the scallops on my tongue. I broke it down with my teeth and yet...nothing. Was this a mistake? i try another bite, again, nothing. It was literally the prettiest but blandest scallops I have ever eaten in my entire life.4) Monkfish: Same problem as the scallops. The presentation was beautiful. It was like looking at something from the Museum of modern Art. There was color and texture and excitement from that dish but there was no flavor. I mean..I sort of tasted the saffron..I guess? But it seemed like the key ingredient missing was SALT! The chef did not seem afraid to use other herbs and spices but where was the salt? I need to search the thesaurus for synonyms for the word bland because how many times do I need to say it? It was such a disappointment.5) Chocolate and coffee dessert with hazelnut praline. This was actually not bad. Super fancy dessert with rich chocolate and coffee and amazing textured offered by the hazelnut. It was nice to end the dinner with this.Overall, the bill totaled well over 300 dollars for two 3 course meals, a mocktail and a few glasses of wine. Am I glad to have done it? NoWould I recommend this to my friends? NoWould I come back? NoIn the world of food, you can have all the parts together but if you miss out on TASTE, that is a huge red flag in my book. I do not recommend.
