Visited the restaurant upstairs. Great building and really nice atmosphere. The food was amazing! We ended up eating a meal of starters, since they sounded delicious and diverse, which ended up being a good decision. Also, the starters cost like mains anywhere else - another thing to consider. The Kuki San Jacque were heavenly, and so was the shrimp bun (more of a grilled cheese). The duck liver - delicious. Cocktails were really good too. Dessert wise - I would recommend the chocolate nemesis. We found the cheesecake pretty blend, and the semifredo a bit too ambitious. 4 starters, 4 glasses of cocktails, 2 mains + tip - around 330 shekel per person.
It pains me to say, but this experience left much to be desired. The lack of seasoning, flavor and personable service...made this dining out a bit lack luster.
Let's start with the good, i was seated quickly and my first course was amazing! I was a little concerned when they didn't have tuna and instead served me palamida (bonitos) fish. But it was well seasoned and buttery, a true delight and I though a sign of what was to come... But alas, not so. My next course the scallops... While Cooked perfectly, lacked seasoning as well as it's sides. The next dish, the shrimp showed promise but again lacked seasoning. I enjoyed the middle east flavor but it was in serious need of Salt! Lol i did like the raisins...not sure if they were fermented or what, they were a nice sour surprise to the dish.
Now on to the service. The food came out fast, but i was the only person at the bar and the bartender didn't initiate any convo...i was a little disappointed. Sometimes it's nice to have a little banter in between courses!
I didn't even stay for dessert! Which says a lot! Lol.
Overall a 3.7 is what I'd rate. Maybe you'll have better luck!
