Monte Palma

The food was pretty good. Not quite as good as I&#39;d hoped considering the reviews and awards, but for a German Italian restaurant it was good. The amuse bouche was the best course and that&#39;s never good, it should just be a taste of the goodness to come. We had the monthly menu which is excellent value. One of us had the wine pairing. All the wines were Italian and surprisingly full-bodied  and complex. No red was offered. The wine for the main came after we had finished our mains. Beef Tartare was delicious, unctuous and rich.  Truffle lasagna was also good, but the truffle comes in the form of a truffle foam rather than in the lasagna itself. Lovely bechamel. The fish was the most disappointing course. The skin was soggy, fish slightly overcooked and it came with a mush of vegetables and 4 slices of potato. Dessert was ok, the mousse was more like an espresso flavoured mascarpone, not light like a mousse should be. Service was friendly, although we waited a good 25 minutes for our order to be taken by the maitre&#39;d, as he was busy talking to another table. The ambience is very masculine and old-fashioned. Needs a modern revamp for sure. Definitely caters to the business crowd. Decor in the men&#39;s bathroom is sexist and distasteful, but considering there were only two women in the restaurant, I&#39;m guessing the regulars don&#39;t mind.  Overall a decent meal, but would not rush back.

For such a restaurant, I can only say that if you like the taste, you will feel very good, like, this restaurant was not particularly crowded when we came, but I just felt delicious.
