L'ecrin

Incredibly overpriced for average to terrible food. Service was very slow at first. We felt like we were ignored when we were first seated. Other diners who arrived later were served before us, no one came and presented water, menu or appetizers for about 20 mins. Service was inconsistent as some se...rvers were alright and others disingenuous and snooty. Mostly the latter. Out of all the dishes, the apple ice-cream and the hot chocolate stood out the most. The vegetable dish was fine. The most dissappointing was the duck. Barely chewable even when it was cooked medium rare and had a gamey taste. The duck leg next to it had too much alcohol flavour. The creme in the strawberry shortcake had a weird taste and tasted off. The dessert itself was very uninspiring. The mocktail served was also unappealing. The atmosphere was tasteful and intimate. The bathroom was located on a level below and very elegant and clean. Service was extremely varied, depending on the staff, some barely smiled. In essence, it had very poor value and is definitely not a good contender in this price range.

I went there in my wedding aniversary. The staff was very helpfull and friendly. The set menu(only one) was very well manufactured, very professional. The wine , made in Japan was very good, light coloured but good mouth and after taste. Price:26400¥ It was worth it!
