This restaurant should not have a Michelin star.

1. I feel that in order to have a Michelin star, a restaurant should have a wine-program and in particular a full-time sommelier. We were at the restaurant during the summer on a Saturday night and, believe it or not, there was no sommelier! We know a lot about and spend a heck of a lot on wine - and, no surprise, we had questions about the wine list. Someone who turned out in the end to be the restaurant manager came to speak to us - she did not tell us that she was not the sommelier - we discovered this after leaving. We had quite a few questions and unfortunately did not get good answers. At one point, further along in the evening, when we had questions about digestifs, our young waiter actually had to help her with the choices in the list. Very embarrassing!

2. The food is okay, but not necessarily a Michelin star. In particular, we had one course called "Essence of Paella" - we eat at Michelin starred restaurants on a weekly basis, and this has to got be in the top ten worst dishes we have ever eaten in any restaurant at all. This dish was basically a huge chunk of pineapple in a brown broth with peanuts swimming around. Bizarre! I've never had peanuts in a paella. I'm not sure that pineapple features this heavily in paella as well. But overall, not a single taste that would remind me of paella. Really awful. Furthermore, even if it weren't supposed to have had to do with paella, just a completely bad dish. And, a la carte, this dish was something like 30 euros!!
