The roasted chicken, praised for its crisp skin and juicy meat, is the standout. Reviewers consistently describe the overall food as comforting yet refined, with a warm, rustic elegance.
“This one is good, good, guys. Rabarbaro, lavender, and pollen — mascarpone cream and pea pod cream. Disclaimer: there's no polite way to eat it. I told you — you can really taste the fresh pea flavor, it's not minestrone. The rhubarb is a little acidic, the pollen on top gives a vague honey hint. Delicious. What's left we take home — and there's some left.”
“I start with this one. It's good, really good.”

You can really taste fresh peas. I've never eaten a pastry like this. It doesn't taste like minestrone. The rhubarb is a bit tangy, the pollen on top has a vague honey flavor, delicious.
