I never thought i would find myself reviewing a restaurant. I call my self a liquid culinarian. I'm primarily interested in coffee but i also appreciate wine, cocktails and tea. I usually despise going to restaurants. That may seem odd but unfortunately people tend to be super awkward around people like myself, who has a disability. I usually have to tolerate waiters speaking above my head, as if is i wasn't there and other abominations. If that wasn't bad enough, my disability also means i cannot eat solid food. Yes, i know it's odd but don't worry about me. I'm fine. I just explore flavour through drinks instead and pay a lot more attention to the whole experience including all my other senses. But the fact that i can not eat conventional food, always puts me in an awkward situation, when i have to order, desperately trying to explain myself. The waiter usually doesn't understand and try to offer me a kids menu or vegan food. Which is super unhelpful. To be honest i would rather they just shut up and let me order a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. This has been my experience with restaurants so far. Until now.
On this restaurant the waiter comes to the table and i prepare for the usual ordeal. When she asked what i'll have and i said i don't eat i'll just have something to drink, she pulls the rug under my feet, and for the first time gave me a great experience in a restaurant. She responded and offered me a special wine, one of her personal favorites, now that i could not get the usual experience. She explained that the farmer was a young italian lady doing forest agronomy and biological farming. The wine was punchy but elegant, good acidity, light body, comfortable tannins and a crisp, juicy flavour. It was what i imagine it to be like to bite into a green apple, although for reasons that should, at this point, be obvious to you, i haven't tried that. The best analogy i can give to something i have actually tasted, is a good light roast Kenya coffee. I also got to taste another one with more floral and earthy tones and a lime zest flavour. It reminded me of a geisha coffee or classic washed Ethiopia. So huge kudos to Camilla, our waitress for using this as a opportunity to offer extra service, showing of some clever thinking and good problem solving skills, creating a comfortable atmosphere and for the first time, making me feel welcome in a restaurant. She seems like a skilled host and open-minded person. Putting the emphasis on what i could do, like tasting delicious wine and enjoying the aroma of the cooking, did wonders for my interest in visiting restaurants. For the first time i found myself enjoying the experience and engaging with my family. The wine was delicious and judging from the aroma, i would guess the food matched the quality. And having the ability to create an experience good enough to make a person who doesn't eat feel included in restaurant culture, is something of an achievement.
5 stars for service, 5 stars for wine. I definitely recommend this for anybody, who wants to have a good experience even if you're just there for a glass of wine. I wrote thsi review some time after visiting, so i did not check the accessibility, since i did noe go there with the intention of reviewing. Maybe i'll return with that purpose.
