Obviously this is meant to be cooking at a very high level, so we're judging accordingly. Generally there was a lack of seasoning (salt). The dishes featuring a crispy base weren't easy or especially pleasant to eat and at least one of them would have been better with a buttery pastry base. The rhubarb didn't taste of rhubarb. The sommelier was excellent and his wine selection first rate.
