🙂 4/5 - A bit of a challenge to find but a warm welcome once I got

A bit of a challenge to find but a warm welcome once I got through the door. The second floor view of Green Park is nice. Service was excellent to start but then tailed off near the end of my meal. It was like I fell into a time warp once I ordered the supplemental cheese couple. I ordered the seven course tasting menu with classic wine pairings but started off with a glass of the house champagne, which was excellent. The bread basket was amazing. It would be too easy to fill up on it and miss out on the courses. The appetizers were designed to be eaten as finger foods, with terrific gazpacho to be drank from the cup. This was a bit impractical for the lettuce. I found myself using the butter knife to get all of the roasted sunflower seeds and dressing but it was delicious. The pork and fowl charcuterie were okay. First course: melon with lemon verbena granita and something like feta. It was light, refreshing, and perfectly paired with wine from Ukraine that translates as "fox tail."Second: toro tuna wrapped in very thin cucumber slices with kohlrabi shavings and plum dressing. Very good but the tuna was a bit overwhelmed by the other ingredients. Sparkling saki was a nice pairing. Third Course: the nested egg signature dish. Definitely "wow!" Egg yolk velouté, roasted mushrooms, and a bit of parsley. Nicely paired with a rich Greek red. #4: another "wow!" dish. Grilled lobster in a beurre blanc sauce topped with thin slices of fennel. It was outstanding. It was wonderfully paired with an orange wine from Georgia. #5: I'm generally not a fan of duck but this was very good. A perfectly cooked breast au jus on top of duck sausage alongside an apricot stuffed with duck sausage. It was paired with a stellar Pinot Noir from the Czech Republic. The Bonus (for a supplement) Cheese Course: a couple blues, a Brie, and one with an ask coating. All good. Paired, at extra cost, with a vintage Madeira. However, this course was ridiculously slow. It's where my experience fell apart. They rolled over the cart, I made my picks, and then it was about 20 minutes before the cheese was delivered to my table. Most establishments slice the selection from off the cart and put it on the table immediately. I have no idea what they were doing in this case. Palate cleanser: olive oil ice cream. This was good. Lighter and more refreshing than one might expect from the ingredients. #6: Dragonfly. Some sort of various consistencies of elder flower, that I didn't quite understand on top of frozen dragon berries. Interestingly herbal. Paired with a nice, not too sweet, muscat. #7: One fresh strawberry with pollen and a square of nougat. The strawberry was minimalist but good. The nougat seemed out of place as an ending to the rest of the meal. And then, another 20 minutes to get the bill. Overall: The dessert was meh, and anti-climatic considering the previous part of the meal. Otherwise, the food was excellent and service was, too, for the first 2/3 of the meal. However, this place is extremely expensive. At these prices it is not unrealistic to expect great service throughout instead of fading towards the end.
