Don't get me wrong - some of the dishes we've tasted were really mind-blowingly amazing and totally deserving of the Michelin star. It's just that there were a couple misses. The staff grew increasingly tired during the course of the evening, and while we were very well taken care of at first, by the end they only seemed to be eager to call it a day, barely interested in our experience. The first waiter discouraged us heavily from the more intense wine pairing, we ended up taking one of each and my partner deeply regretted listening to the suggestion. The desserts were a huge disappointment, we got 4 of them and the only one that was tasty was the one made of tomatoes; as to the rest - we bought tiramisu in a Lidl store the day before and it was actually better! We got the 5 minutes dessert without the cheesecake, which is apparently normal for the Zenith menu, but was not mentioned anywhere. Also, the Zenith menu is way too big, we both felt like we were going to die from the overeating, instead of feeling pampered and satisfied; I don't even understand why you offer such a monstrosity.
