    Thank you for the honest review. It is refreshing to see someone share a non-sponsored opinion these days. The trout looked dry before you even mentioned it....

    It's very refreshing to see an honest review. Your criticisms seemed fair and you did praise the dishes that deserved it. After all that's how we grow as people and chefs.

    Really though its so much better to have someone that gives an honest opinion

    Agree with your assessment. Seeing the food, I would not even bother to eat there.
    For what it’s worth, Michelin guide rates restaurants on these five qualities, some of which are subjective:
    1. Quality products
    2. Mastery of flavours and cooking techniques - ie. highly technical
    3. Chef’s personality - I guess flamboyant chef will get the nod?
    4. Value for Money - clearly subjective but $235 for 13 course, well.. maybe?
    5. Consistency - ie the same dish always looks and taste the same and the inspectors visit at least two or three times to judge this.

      Thank you for agreeing with me!

    I don't know. It's higher-end ingredients, done in an artisan way. So, whether it's anyone's specific preference, I don't think the price is wildly off. If it's not your thing, don't go there.
    I do appreciate Jenny's feedback, though, so don't misunderstand me. It's just the nature of this sort of restaurant that it can be slightly polarizing.

      2 out of 5 just seems unreasonably low, though I'm obviously not tasting the dishes myself

      True. After finding out that Aphotic is not my thing, I definitely would not visit again.
      Happy that you still appreciate my feedback

    I hope you brought your feedback to the team or chef so they can improve! As a chef I'd appreciate the feedback.

      I would have liked to give my feedback to the chef, but I just found out that the restaurant is closing in less than a week, so giving feedback directly wouldn't seem like it would make much of a difference. Best wishes to the chef and the team though!

    Don't blame Jenny, blame the Michelin inspectors for giving out the 1-star to this restaurant.

      Haha, no one is to blame here, but thank you for the backup!

    I think I know why you rarely enjoy fusion cuisine. This type of cuisine often hit and miss, especially seafood, which can be disastrous if you put too many, or even worse, wrong spices

    Interesting... they've really changed up the menu since I last visited in October 2023, which was basically the same menu that had earned them the Michelin star. Our whole family enjoyed that menu and its offerings, but seeing the items they've substituted in, I can see why you weren't impressed. :(

    Wow this restaurant seems a bit over the top in construction and design for just 1 Michelin star. In my city, we have so many 1 Michelin starred restaurants that are basic in design. Not to mention MUCH cheaper to dine at.
