A dozen of us, my two friends and I, arrived for dinner. Expectations were high, and in some aspects, the restaurant met them. We arrived between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM and were greeted by a charming waiter whom I wish had stayed for the entire meal. Although the other waiters who came were also charming, we didn't enjoy having a different waiter arrive, and it created a feeling of being less meticulous. We arrived at 6:30 PM, a time when orders come with a 15% discount. The waiter suggested and served us wine that was simply wonderful. We initially ordered 9 dishes: 🫛 לחם מחמצת which was simply wonderful, with tomato foam, and butter that we requested additionally. A respectable portion of bread for 36 ₪. The tomato foam lacked a kick. 🫛 פטה חמה - warm feta with seeds sitting on a Magen tomato sauce with filleted Magen tomatoes. In retrospect, we would not have ordered this dish. The seeds were great, but the feta combined with the tomatoes created a very ordinary, childish homemade dinner taste of an omelet with cheese and tomato. Additionally, the sauce had an aftertaste of a tomato that had sat too long in the sun, not in the good sense of cooking. What's more, the foam that came with the bread and the sauce on which the feta was placed were very similar, and we felt it was tomato on tomato on tomato unnecessarily. A disappointing dish. 76 ₪. 🫛 פיצ׳י קובה - in a mushroom broth foraged in the Golan Heights with Leshem cheese on top. The פיצ׳י was excellently made, long and provided a superb eating experience. However, the broth was bland for my taste, didn't go anywhere, and even brought down the level of the פיצ׳י. 116 ₪. 🫛 טרטר דג ים על אפונת שלג - a delicate and wonderful dish. The incredibly fresh fish sits on crispy snow peas that you'll just want more of. A great dish, but despite two mentions of spiciness on the menu, the dish wasn't spicy enough. The other flavors were wonderful, so in my opinion, it's forgivable. An excellent dish - 98 ₪. 🫛 סשימי דג ים - tomato glaze, sun-dried tomatoes, Magen tomato consommé. Again - wonderful fresh fish, but the sauce was lifeless, as if they drizzled tomato water and the tomato wasn't at its peak that day, no additional flavor. A disappointment. 96 ₪. 🫛 לאב דג ים איולי חציל, קריספי בורגול, צילי ועשבי תיבול. A tasty dish overall, but I expected more acidity, spiciness from the chili which wasn't felt at all, and saltiness. Additionally, I didn't like the method used for the fish; it had a taste of torching with a burner which, in my personal opinion, doesn't flatter fish. The herbs were fresh and wonderful. 98 ₪. 🫛 פילה פלמידה לבנה - a good dish, the fish was salty and it complimented it. The artichoke stew was great and the broth it sat on was tasty. The fish had several levels of doneness, which provided a good eating experience. 128 ₪. 🫛 שקדי עגל - it can be said that the dish was the tastiest for me at least, an excellent broth, a very picturesque dish beautifully presented. And it was fun to dip the bread in the broth. Excellent. 128 ₪. 🫛 רביולו קובה - slow-cooked lamb shank, asparagus, chicken broth. A very good dish, the meat was tasty and we also really enjoyed this broth. Again, the spiciness promised in the dish description on the menu was missing. 88 ₪. Desserts: 🍓 קינוח טופי - a sweet Bundt cake-shaped loaf cake with a salty kick, placed on toffee with excellent mascarpone on the side. An excellent dish. 🍓 קינוח מרשמלו עם תותים וקציפת לואיזה which was simply wonderful. I asked to personally compliment the pastry chef Romy who does simply wonderful work, and her work elevated the other dishes which, for most of the meal, felt like they weren't going anywhere. Overall, good atmosphere, good service, fresh fish, good ingredients. I would have liked less repetition of tomato, more flavors that could elevate the dishes, less scattering of waiters. 1055 ₪ excluding service.
