Food: Predictable dishes, distinct letdown

Dissecting Grandmaster Restaurant's menu feels like decoding a cryptogram with elements arranged haphazardly, struggling to impress. Buffalo Burrata and Pappardelle are notable for their flavors but they battle against an overall underwhelming experience in taste, creativity, and freshness. Add to it the disappointing portions and overambitious pricing, the experience becomes quite bland.

  • Okay Taste

    While some found food average or underwhelming, others enjoyed the taste.

  • Low Quality

    Sea urchin drowned in oil, high quality ingredients masked unnecessarily.

    Ricotta Gnocchi

    Gnocchi is pillowy, flavorful, light, and tender; very delicious.

Vibe: Outstanding ambiance with live symphony

Moving beyond the food, the ambiance introduces you to an entirely different narrative. Described as inviting, chic, cozy and elegant, the place promises a visual and sensory treat. The live performances coupled with panoramic city views from the rooftop make it a date-night favorite. Plus, their extensive wine list and crafted cocktails are a cherry on top.

  • Great Ambiance

    Ambiance is consistently described as inviting, chic, cozy, and elegant.

  • Okay Buzz

    Mix of bustling energy and photogenic food, but may prioritize style over substance.

Perks: Well-organized groups amidst hostile parking

Take a sigh of relief if you're visiting in a group; they are well-accommodated. But brace yourself for the parking nightmare. The positive vibe created by their highly praised service and friendly staff takes a plunge with hard-to-find parking, over-crowded rooftop, and complete disregard for dietary restrictions.

  • Great Service

    Exceptional service with attentive, friendly staff providing a great experience.

  • Bad For Diets

    Complete disregard for dietary restrictions, not accommodating.
