Curious to experience this renowned restaurant, I went here for dinner with my husband during the summer holiday.
Behind the discreet door, the staff greets you with a handshake, as if you were coming to a dinner party. For me it feels slightly awkward and feigned, it is a restaurant after all.
Ingredients are presented thoroughly, also visually. I cannot stop thinking about how far many of them have travelled, even from Tasmania. The menu is very far from local food.
Some dishes are excellent, for example the cod, so are some of the (mostly French) wines on the wine menu. However the majority of the dishes are mediocre, truffle is being overused, the guineafowl we never received (and when contacting the restaurant about this the replay was basically that they were sorry if we were not fully satisfied).
My overall impression is that the place is driven by passion for competition, to show what kind of ingredients you can buy and what kind of facilities you can build when money is not an issue, and not driven by a passion for food.
