I previously tried Angelini and gave it a great review. When I saw they are now celebrating their 40th anniversary, I wanted to go and try their anniversary meal. However, I was a tad let down by it. I think I might have accepted it if it was a regular set dinner but since it is promoted as a celebration of their 40th anniversary I definitely expected more in terms of taste and service.Overall, the good points of this menu includes the discount for golden circle members, the inclusion of champag
Overall, the good points of this menu includes the discount for golden circle members, the inclusion of champagne and coffee(this is not mentioned in the menu) and a great dessert. However, when each dish was served, I expected a bit brief introduction since it was their anniversary set dinner but this did not happen(except dessert).
For example, the first dish being the traditional beef tartare, it would have been interesting to know why the chef chose to make it like this as it definitely is not like our usual beef tartare.
For the next dish, the flavor of both the foie gras and ham was a bit too strong despite they already added the campari jelly and raspberry.
Next came the mango and ginger sorbet. It was definitely a welcome change from the usual lime sorbet for cleansing the palate. However, the server actually did not explain it and when I was sending the photos to my friends, they thought it was already dessert time.
The pasta was unfortunately a bit disappointing. The pasta itself was al dente and caviar was not salty but the sauce was a bit too salty.
The sea bass was moist and soft and luckily the sauce of this dish was seasoned right.
The highlight of the menu was definitely the dessert and surprisingly this is the only dish they introduced. The sauce had a hint of alcohol without overshadowing the nutty flavor.
Overall, I won't say it was bad but it definitely should not be marked as their 40th anniversary dinner.
