Foodie here. I had great expectations given the chef's and restaurant's fame, but it was a great disappointment. Roasted beets did not taste roasted, orange vinaigrette was not "orangy", and worst, Celaya goat cheese was bland instead of the tangy, lactic flavor that goes so well with roasted beets (rather it tasted like bland mozarella). What is that on top of it all? breadcrumbs? Yuck. Gnochi with chanterelles sounded good, but the little three pieces of these forest gems got lost in a sauce that tasted of.... what? what is it? I could not tell. I did not remember what I read on the menu and could not figure out what the sour taste was. Not bad, but please do not offend these delicate wild mushrooms! The right cooking techniques allow you to get unique and amazing flavors out of all the fungi that we get in Mexico City in rainy season. Sauce was too sour and the puddle of mashed peas only created more confusion. I acknowledge octopus was not meant to be grilled on charcoal -as is frequently done here and the Mediterranean, but it did not appear to be prepared "a la plancha" (hot plate grill) either. Indeed the open kitchen (Kudos. Thank you!!) later revealed that it was sautéed in a pan. Consequently, texture was off and caramelization and browning incomplete. One French diner in our table did not have the slightest appreciation for his lamb, and our American guest had nothing to say about his fish either. To be fair, goat cheese ice cream with olive oil was divine. It was mounted on a pastry of.... what? what is it again? Give me the ice cream by itself if the pastry adds nothing. Service was erratic at best, Very very friendly, but sincerely inconsistent. As other reviews noted, plates of guests arrived at odd times. Empty plates of two guests could be lying on the table long after the other plates were cleared. Prices are too high for the so-so quality of the food. Our two Mexican wine choices were not available and ALL bottles were ridiculously overpriced. I do not give this place less stars because the whole experience was not offensive and there was nothing horrendously bad (well, service at times was 2 stars, in spite of being friendly). Believe me, if you are a foodie and like exceptional food, there are dozens of better places in Mexico City, certainly less expensive. I hope Eduardo García takes notice of this review, because I would imagine he has what it takes to get 5-star reviews from gourmet diners -but not from this one here.
