Worth it for if you've only got a day, couples and solo travellers; not for families with kids.
What to order
The plates that decide it
The seasonal tasting menu — the intended way to experience the kitchen; let it lead
The wine pairing — a deep Greek and French list, reliably well matched
À la carte snacking — the room is built for the full menu; piecemeal misses the point
