Dining 5m under the sea might seem like a gimmick, but this restaurant definitely was more than that. I actually thought I was going to get distracted by the fish all night and wouldn't be able to pay attention to the food, but it was actually the other way around. Service was better than some of the 2 star places I've been to, with a special shoutout to the Front of House dude who was so so cool. They even had names for a lot of the fish that visited them! Also learned a ton about sustainable practices in winemaking which was really nice.
The menu was mostly seafood. The standouts for me:
— Second course, an "edible shell" which was like a deconstructed oyster
— Langoustine with cauliflower emulsion and butter sauce. It was perfectly cooked and so simple and delicious. Friends, I cried.
— The roasted carrot dish with its wine pairing was perfectly balanced.
— The pairings were so well thought out. Every wine complimented every dish perfectly in a very playful way.
The only dish I unfortunately didn't enjoy as much was the main, which was monkfish with sautéed kale. It was a bit too salty altogether, even though all the individual components were perfectly cooked. I have to say they probably need to fix this before they could aim for a second star.
All in all, an amazing experience and I don't say this about all the star places I've been to: I would probably go again.
