Quail's starter:
The meat so nicely cooked, and sported an impeccable mouthsome.
Only reproach is that I found it a bit bland in taste. The accompanied beet caramel was flavorful and very enjoyable. Spiced mayo was fine on it's own but I would prefer it with other meals, not with quail (I tried patiently enjoying the mix of the mayo and the quail...but nah, it just would not fit!). The tomato compote was brillantly executed. Bottom line: I wished the quail on it's own would be more savorish, but overall this was the type of starter that would seduce by it's beautiful presentation (artful!). 2.5/5
Cavatelli/Veal:
The veal was impeccable in all respects -> tender, it was all flavorful and very tasty. Served in an elegant large flat snowy-white plate, the presentation was up par with the standards of food presentation at most world's modern upscale tables. 5/5
Jellified pears:
Flawless, except for the accompanied dried olive (I see this lately on a lot of modern tables: they love putting that olive as accompaniment on desserts. Might be a popular favourite to some, but I personally do not get this one. It neither enhances my dessert's experiment nor completes it in an interesting way...). I love pears and am fond of their very unique taste. This dessert was a perfect symphony to my love for pears: fresh savourish pear accompanied by an equal delicious intense pear's sorbet. 5/5
