Hopelessly
contrived
and
poorly
executed
nonsense
.
I
will
not
review
the
service
as
anyone
can
have
a
bad
night
and
hopefully
that
was
the
case.
Sufficed
to
say
it
was
a
set
up
for
what
was
to
come.
Likewise
the
giant
disco
ball
pizza
oven
will
receive
no
more
mention.
The
bread
was
excellent,
and
in
what
is
a
perversely
overpriced
restaurant,
mercifully
free
of
charge.
My
starter
was
a
near
€30
burrata
with
grilled
tomato.
Apparently.
What
arrived
was
a
cloying
puck
of
mashed
cheese
so
heavily
flavoured
with
lemon
you
could
have
cleaned
the
floor
with
it
sitting
on
what
I
can
only
assume
were
2
thin
slices
of
boiled
tasteless
insipid
tomato
that
disintegrated
on
touch.
The
whole
thing
swimming
in
tomato
water
and
completely
bereft
of
seasoning.
My
wife
had
a
gazpacho
that
was
covered
in
a
thick
layer
of
'foam'
more
like
a
secondary
layer
of
soup.
The
beetroot
risotto
looked
to
suffer
from
the
same
foam
issue.
The
Caesar
salad
was
an
over
dressed
mound
of
nonsense
complete
with
over
cooked,
chewy
parmesan
crisps
and
microscopic
croutons
of
the
variety
found
in
instant
soup
sachets
which
gave
the
whole
dish
a
gritty
texture.
Fillet
of
beef,
a
5oz
nugget
for
around
€50
(a
similar
price
to
most
of
the
main
dishes),
was
thankfully
correctly
cooked
to
rare
on
request,
served
with
a
good
dauphinoise
and
pan
jus.
The
accompanying
cauliflower
however
was
rather
than
roasted,
boiled
and
then
finished
with
a
blow
torch.
Leaving
a
soft,
burned
tasting
florret.
The
dish
was
fine,
but
severely
lacking
for
the
extremely
high
price
tag.
My
wife
had
the
schnitzel
which
looked
fine
but
was
of
course
2x
the
price
of
the
perfectly
good
example
to
be
had
in
town
at
Ritter
or
the
excellent
example
found
at
Schnitzel
bank.
Frankly
in
this
part
of
germany
I
imagine
messing
that
up
would
have
opened
the
chef
up
to
being
stripped
of
their
citizenship.
The
wine
list
was
the
real
comedy
prize
here.
An
exercise
in
masterbation
for
someone.
A
handful
of
wines
under
€100,
with
a
vast
array
over
€1000
and
up
to
€8000
and
€9000,
many
with
more
than
half
a
dozen
vintages
available.
Three
reds
by
the
glass
available,
the
cheapest
at
10.5€
for
100
ml,
all
blends
and
one
being
listed
as
'non
vintage'
which
was
as
odd
and
not
at
all
tempting.
It
is
the
kind
of
restaurant
in
which
one
could
easily
cos-play
Patrick
Bateman.
All
surface
without
apparent
thought
for
the
enjoyment
of
the
guest.
Eat
well
before
you
arrive
you
will
be
waiting
a
while
and
likely
will
leave
hungry.
