What a lovely evening we had! The restaurant has a beautiful modern yet relaxing interior, totally couldn’t tell when you pass by from the outside. We had the menu plus cheese plate with the wine paring, and we are glad about the choice. Chose this restaurant because of the newly Michelin star listing, and it definitely deserves the star. The flavor was overall balanced, and with some playful twists. At the amuse bouche, the freshness of cucumber with its marination made an interesting start. Then it went on with vegetables, fish and beef. And what a nice wagyu, the meat was literally melting at your tongue, and the fat was balanced with the acid from the ponzu and kimchi (although here I would say from my personal taste the kimchi could have been fermented a bit longer to lose its grassy/planty raw taste). Final dessert was not too sweet or heavy and a nice close to the main dinner. Funny that it seems Germans serve cheese plate after the dessert, but we enjoyed the choice of the cheese. Beside the food, the wine paring was phenomenal, the sommelier was nice to explain the details about the wines from their production, tasting palate and matching of the food. Most of the wines were German and we were surprised about their tastes.
In summary we were satisfied with the wonderful dinner. One small suggestion, during the online booking, there was an area you could put “your reason” of the dinner reservation, and I put “birthday dinner”. Not sure if the restaurant had seen this information, and if there were a small gesture, even like a greeting of “happy birthday” would make us feel even more special.
