Comments:
From the information I've researched online about this place, this is apparently to be the first Korean molecular gastronomy restaurant introduced to Seoul.  So being a fan of molecular dining, this has to be on my itinerary.

We didn't end up getting the table in the dining area that I had expected (i.e. what is shown on their website) which had kinda changed the my feel about the place a bit (I didn't realise it till a bit later into the meal).  The area we were seated in seemed to be slightly more casual than their website gallery pic.  My guess is that the nicer area is for dinner or for when lunch time gets crowded...

We ordered the tasting menu which had a total of 6 courses plus an amuse bouche to start the meal off.  The tastes were pleasant overall although if I had to compare it to the molecular gastronomy that I've experienced in Tokyo, I would think this Korean version is still trailing a little behind that of its Japanese counterparts when it comes to the creativity of flavours, combination and presentation.  Nevertheless, I think this is still worth a try and I'm sure there will be more to come from Korea in this new Korean fine dining space.

we took a taxi here as it seemed a bit hard to find if you were to walk and a bit far if you
were to walk from the Apgujeong subway station

the restaurant is on the 3F

we went for the 6 course tasting menu

amuse bouche

1st course

'Jungsik Salad'

2nd course

'Mushroom Quatorze'

3rd course

'Sea Urchin'

4th course

'Thai Lobster'

5th course

'Grilled Kalbi'

6th course (dessert)

'Jang Dok' - in the shape of the traditional Kimchi terra cotta pots

herbal tea & petits fours

if you are trying to walk to the restaurant and you happen to reach the 'Ippudo Seoul' restaurant, walk straight (along the pink arrow shown) until you reach another restaurant on the corner called 'Zen Hideaway'

once you reach the 'Zen Hideaway' restaurant, turn right, go straight to the end of the street, turn left and you should see the Acros building on your right hand side
