We had booked a table at Al Muntaha, nice to arrive at the hotel
and the staff was very friendly. We ordered food and drink, after looking at a slightly boring a la carte menu. The starters we chose were spinach soup with some kind of dumplings in it, and a steak of tartar, just a little boring to look at. In addition, we got a good white wine. After we had eaten the starters, I wondered where the ordered red wine ended up, and suddenly the waiter was standing with our main courses. Since the red wine is usually served before the main course, I asked the waiter to go out with the food and come in with the red wine.
After some discussion, the red wine was served and then the main courses.
A little uninspiring dishes which unfortunately had to wait in the kitchen until the wine was served. Throughout the dinner, the waiter poured water or wine up to me, just as my wife had raised her glass to toast - very strange. All in all, not good enough. There is a long way to go for a Michelin star.
Sincerely, Birger
