"I really wanted to give this place 4 stars, but I just can't, considering how disappointing the food was. Initially, I was very excited to try out FLX Table. It has great ratings and a great reputation, so I had high expectations going into this experience.The setting/atmosphere:This place has great ambience. It has a humble-yet-elevated vibe, which is a fun paradox and creates an interesting personality.The server and sommelier were nice, and I enjoyed the chef's food explanations and personal interactions. Overall, I loved the way they designed the experience of the meal.The food:Most of the courses we were served were sadly lacking. For the first course, I found the mixture of raw and prepared fruits and vegetables to be quite unappealing. I'm not sure if it was because they were sitting out for a while, but it wasn't an enjoyable experience. The bread and range of condiments that accompanied them were good, but the whole thing felt ill-fitting and texturally confused. The second course had great flavor but was essentially a garnish on the rim of an empty plate. Disappointing. The third course, congee, was a decent attempt but lacking in flavor. Having enjoyed a good amount of authentic congee in the past, this was a huge letdown. The main meat course which followed was fine but forgettable. The dessert had some nice subtlety to it and was the best part of the meal, but was too little too late.I doubt I'll return, as it's too expensive to court disappointment again. But I hope the food may improve so that FLX Table can offer a truly great restaurant experience in Geneva."
