Many praise the ingenuity of the dishes, the explosion of flavors, and the impeccable, engaging service, often highlighting the interactive 'puzzle' concept. The ambiance is frequently described as modern and aesthetically pleasing. However, some guests find the extensive tasting menu with numerous small dishes to be overwhelming, with a few dishes not consistently meeting expectations (e.g., sea urchin). There are also mentions of uneven service and a high price point (around 240€ per person) for a one-Michelin-star experience.
