| - Overly salty.
Service was so-so. The waiter knew the menu well, however I was less-than-impressed when at the end of my meal, I told him to mention to the pastry chef that one of the complimentary sweets (the oatmeal cookie) that came with the check was prbably mistakenly made with salt instead of sugar - and he simply brushed it off.
It was white truffle season, I had the special pasta made from yolks, tossed in butter and finished with about 5 grams of white truffle shavings. It was made perfectly and totally decadent and delicious.
I ordered a side of roasted brussel sprouts with pancetta. The brussel sprouts were nicely charred however, even though I know pancetta is very savory, the overall dish was overly salty.
At the end of my meal, along with the check came 3 complimentary sweets - an oatmeal cookie, a tiny fruit paste and one more item I can't remember now. As mentioned before, the oatmeal cookie was as if it was made with salt and a whole lot of baking powder of some sort - it was definitely a mistake.
Overall, I enjoyed my main entree - the pasta - at this restaurant. It was well worth its high price. However, I think that there is definitely room for improvement with regards to some details that really shouldn't be overlooked at any restaurant, much less one of this supposed calibre.
