When booking a reservation at an internationally renowned restaurant, having read a multitude of 5 star reviews from blogs to instagram and more, I would have expected a "wow" experience. Situated inside a cave, overlooking a beautiful grotto, It only took a few moments after...being seated for the bright light of anticipation to begin to dim. Seated along the rail, overlooking the azure waters of the cove, I was immediately turned off by the loud party barges pulling one after another into the grotto below. Fun to be on that boat? For sure! Fun to be above it in an elegant setting? not so much. The staff was cordial, but not engaging. The food was very good, and the two bottles of wine we consumed were also very good. Therin lies the rub: this is a Michelin rated restaurant, deemed one of the top in the world. I was expecting so much more than a very good restaurant. Bottom line: if you're looking to pay 750.00 euro for three people to have a good dinner in an interesting setting, then you will not be disappointed. However, If you're expecting a five star experience in a world recognized restaurant, prepare to be very disappointed. Three stars only because the setting is unique, on a city street this restaurant would blend in with all the othersMore
