I
had
very
high
expectations
for
this
place,
and
it
started
off
really
well.
However,
after
the
first
dish,
my
excitement
began
to
fade
rapidly.
In
the
beginning,
we
were
offered
drinks.
I
decided
to
try
a
classic
Pisco
sour,
and
I
must
admit,
the
cocktail
was
excellent.
The
waiter
suggested
starting
with
guacamole
and
corn
tortillas,
which
I
thought
was
a
good
idea,
considering
I
was
planning
to
go
for
a
menu
option
that
included
three
starters
and
one
main
dish.
The
guacamole
was
lovely
but
a
bit
too
salty.
The
three
starters
included
a
corn
salad,
a
spinach,
walnut,
and
goji
salad,
and
portobello
mushrooms
on
skewers.
The
corn
salad
(Trio
de
Maiz)
was
delicious
but
quite
large
for
a
starter.
The
spinach
salad
(Espinacas
con
Manchego)
was
tasty
but
had
too
much
dressing,
making
it
overpowering.
The
portobello
mushrooms
were
not
particularly
interesting.
When
we
ordered
the
main
dish,
the
waiter
suggested
a
side
dish,
and
I
chose
the
Miso
aubergine.
We
waited
for
the
main
dish
for
about
25-30
minutes,
and
when
it
arrived,
I
was
left
surprised.
It
was
smaller
than
the
side
dish
and
didn't
even
qualify
as
an
afterthought.
The
main
dish
(Trigo
en
Wok)
consisted
of
spelt,
squash,
cauliflower,
and
fresh
truffle,
but
it
was
essentially
a
spelt
side
dish
with
very
little
flavour.
My
partner
ordered
the
salmon,
which
he
found
bland
as
well.
In
general,
I
found
the
food
to
be
one-dimensional,
making
it
forgettable.
Additionally,
I
felt
that
the
service
lacked
finesse.
I
don't
appreciate
when
the
waiter
addresses
me
with
"Do
you
want?"
instead
of
"Would
you
like?"
It's
just
not
good
etiquette.
Also,
when
one
of
the
waiters
brought
the
salmon
dish,
she
mistakenly
called
it
tuna.
This
indicates
a
need
for
improved
staff
training.
I
wanted
to
try
their
desserts,
but
by
the
time
I
got
there,
I
was
incredibly
full.
I
think
they
should
inform
customers
about
their
portion
sizes
or
at
least
inquire
at
the
beginning
how
much
they'd
like
to
eat,
as
the
portions
were
quite
disproportionate.
However,
it
was
a
nice
gesture
from
the
restaurant
to
offer
us
two
bowls
of
sorbets
to
celebrate
our
anniversary,
as
we
chose
to
dine
there
for
our
special
lunch.
Additionally,
please
note
that
if
you
choose
to
go
during
the
City
during
lunch
hours,
it
can
be
very
noisy
and
hectic.
