"Does not live up to the hype!\n\nGot the carte blanche menu for my birthday and was disappointed that the cool dishes like the thing served.on the antlers, the prawn hot dogs in the treasure chest, and more of the tweezer delicate dishes were not served at all.\n\nThe menu I was served was uninspiring, bland, salty. Not what I had envisioned, it was lacking inspiration, complexity, components. The wine pairings were basic at best. \n\nService was clumsy, our waiter couldn't remember what he brought us, the cutlery tossed on the table. He forgot our wine pairings until AFTER we finished our course. \n\nFor the class that this restaurant strives to be they lack in reaching the level of standards 4 and 5 star restaurants have. The service needs to be meticulous, silent, consistant, present, and always anticipating the next step. \n\nThe food needs to live up to the standard guests expect. When they post dainty and delicate dishes on their Instagram, I expect to be served the same type of dishes. The food was so heavily salted it was distasteful. There were no surprising elements to any of the dishes. \n\nThe carte blanche is suppose to be 9 courses but we only got served 7 courses. I dont include amouse bouche or bread as a dish. Also no palette cleansers between courses at any point?? Odd.\n\nWine pairing included a basic vermouth and rum. None of the pairings brought out anything special to the dish.\n\nOverall Hexagon is good food but not the tasting menu restaurant they depict themselves to be. If you're expecting the next Michelin star restaurant, it's not here and won't be in the foreseeable future."^^ . "1"^^ . .
