Review of Teatro Gastroteque, Bali

Had the festive menu with matching wine.

Had the festive menu with matching wine.
I was expecting some mind blowing experience since it was rated as one of the best restaurants in Bali.
Came back with slight disappointment:
Average wines;
Presentations are on point, but the quality of the food is not great, it would be better if they could stay with the native island ingredients instead of imported. It sounds fancy but I could tell some of the food was not so fresh.
Environment, they have some straight spotlights which make it dramatic, I get it from the name, theatre, yet, the lighting could be a bit too harsh;
Bathroom: I paid 450 AUD for myself dining there, and I expect everything to be perfect. There are literally exposed pipe works in the tiny bathroom.( no, not brutalist deco)
Also, the online booking system is buggy, I tried to book online, and was told nothing available that night. I called in to book then got a reservation straight away.
I would not recommend this place for a fine dining experience, don t get me wrong, I love Indonesian food, but I do reckon the street food here is a better eating experience
