Im giving it 4 stars because I think this place can be even better than it is and I'll explain why. First to get the most out of this place you need to be able to transport yourself and become a child once again. Leave the adult at home. The story telling, the creativity of it all is a trully magnificent and an unforgettable experience. I cannot fault this place for any of that and it will always have a place in my heart. The food is ofcourse fantastic, however with some exceptions. There are dishes that are unbelievable in taste, packing so much flavor that makes you sit there in silence in disbelief. But there are challenging dishes also. This place pushes flavor to it's limit where just a little more becomes less. For me one such dish was the one "in the woods" and the desert was too strong in acidity for my liking as well. I enjoyed these dishes but they did challenge my palate and perhaps thats a good thing - you decide for yourself. I did order the basic wine pairing which makes the experience a lot more expensive but didn't seem to excite me. Sure the drinks were nice, but I think it could be much more. A good example is a restaurant called "Story". The drinks there blew me away. A tip from experience. If you want the ultimate experience - be one of the first diners. Tables are close and others will spoil the surprise. The dinner lasts 4 hours so starting earlier will also help your stamina. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
