We
stayed
here
4
nights
and
had
dinner
at
the
restaurant
the
last
night.
To
be
clear,
this
place
was
generally
wonderful
and
I’d
consider
staying
here
again,
but
for
somewhere
with
this
Michelin
rating
and
reputation,
it
fell
short
in
a
few
areas.
First,
the
good:
the
staff
were
generally
superb,
rooms
were
very
spacious
and
beautiful,
grounds
were
lovely,
and
the
champagne
selection
was,
of
course,
excellent.
The
bad
(which,
again,
not
THAT
bad,
no
huge
mess-ups,
just
a
few
puzzling
things
that
I’d
expect
a
place
like
this
to
get
right):
The
room’s
lights
were
mostly
controlled
by
a
little
touch-screen
panel
next
to
the
bed
(another
located
near
the
front
door).
This
includes
the
bedside
lights
(though
the
closet
and
WC
are
on
motion-sensors,
and
the
bathroom
and
lounge
still
had
switches).
So
if
you’re
on
the
side
of
the
bed
without
the
panel
and
you
need
your
bedside
light
for
whatever
reason,
too
bad.
The
WC
door
also
does
not
fully
close
(sliding
frosted
glass
door
with
a
1”
gap),
and
since
it’s
on
a
motion
sensor
light,
it’s
not
light-tight.
There
seems
to
be
a
type
of
hotel
room
growing
in
popularity
that
I
categorize
as
the
“can’t
get
up
to
pee
at
night
without
waking
your
partner”
type,
and
this
room
committed
multiple
sins
in
that
category.
The
restaurant
was
generally
lovely,
with
an
interesting
wine
pairing,
but
of
the
Michelin
3*
places
I’ve
been,
I’d
probably
put
this
one
at
the
bottom
of
the
list.
While
each
of
the
dishes
in
the
tasting
menu
was
individually
very
good
(and
some
excellent),
the
menu
lacked
some
cohesion
and
flow
for
me.
There
wasn’t
really
a
climax,
and
some
dishes
seemed
out
of
place
among
the
others.
The
lobster
dish
tasted
primarily
like
paprika,
and
the
croutons
in
the
peas
&
goat
cheese
dish
were
unfortunately
soggy,
missing
a
great
opportunity
for
some
textural
contrast.
A
lot
of
the
dishes
also
seemed
way
too
acidic
to
me
-
idk
maybe
I
was
having
an
off
night,
but
I
literally
couldn’t
finish
3
of
the
dishes
because
of
the
acidity
(and
I’m
normally
someone
who
loves
acidity
in
foods).
There
was
just
a
lack
of
balance
in
my
opinion.
The
strawberry
dessert
with
ratafia
wine
pairing
was
excellent,
however.
Again,
overall
a
great
stay
and
a
good
meal,
but
some
disappointing
misses
considering
the
price
and
reputation.
