We
went
to
Zén
for
a
lunch
for
my
wife's
birthday,
it
was
our
first
3*
so
our
expectations
were
high.
Overall
feedback
is
great:
the
food
quality
is
high
class
and
some
dishes
really
stand
out.
The
service
is
young
and
somewhat
casual
but
serious
and
refined
at
the
same
time.
It
is
an
experience.
It
comes
with
a
hefty
price
of
course
but
at
this
level
it
is
the
price
of
hard
work
and
product
excellence.
The
place
is
cosy
and
comfortable,
definitely
lovely
to
spend
a
few
hours
to
savour
the
menu,
and
suitable
for
a
special
occasion.
The
choice
of
rock/pop
music
on
the
loud
side
in
the
dining
room
worked
well
for
us
but
it
is
unusual.
What
we
liked
less
was
the
non
alcoholic
pairing
which
was
oriented
towards
fermented
and
acidic
drinks
(kombucha
type).
Lot
of
work
goes
into
it
I'm
sure
but
it's
an
acquired
taste
that
didn't
work
for
us.
Also
there
is
almost
no
carb
in
the
menu
and
the
restaurant
doesn't
offer
any
bread
so
we
felt
something
was
missing.
Overall
I
still
give
it
5*
and
applaud
the
work
going
into
creating
an
experience
like
this.
We
feedbacked
some
of
our
minor
disappointments
to
the
restaurant
and
they
responded
very
nicely.
Detailed
menu
review
(spoiler
alert)
Starter:
excellent
amuse-bouches,
especially
the
choux.
It
is
so
good
and
so
small
you
wish
you
could
eat
more.
10/10
Saba
fish:
good
fresh
fish
dish
with
an
interesting
strawberry
dressing.
7/10
Chawanmushi
with
caviar:
excellent.
Very
tasty
fatty
pork
broth,
and
good
caviar
that
compliment
each
other
well.
9/10
Lobster:
perfect
cooking
and
sauce,
beautiful
product
and
great
dish
10/10
Onion
soup
with
almond
and
licorice:
perfect
combination,
exact
temperature
for
service.
Though
the
licorice
maybe
doesn't
really
come
up
enough.
But
possibly
one
of
the
best
dishes
I've
ever
had.
10/10
Kinki
fish:
crispy
skin
is
excellent
and
fish
cooked
to
perfection,
generous
serving
of
cream
is
a
pleasure.
The
mussel
on
the
side
was
less
interesting
8/10
Quail:
cooked
to
perfection
with
good
foie
gras
though
the
wasabi
on
the
foie
gras
was
not
necessary
9/10
French
toast
with
aged
beef:
not
our
favorite
dish,
because
of
the
Wasabi
being
too
strong
6/10
Yuzu
marshmallow
:
good
pallet
cleanser,
very
fresh,
very
much
on
the
Yuzu
8/10
Chewy
beet:
fantastic
berry
ice
cream,
very
interesting
beet
gummy,
good
and
generous
cream.
10/10
Japanese
fruit:
great
and
fresh,
especially
the
persimmon
10/10
Macaron:
excellent,
should
give
more
10/10
Birthday
cake:
nice
touch,
thank
you!
Finally
some
sugar
and
carb
after
all..
very
good
cake.
10/10
Thank
you
