Writser - me too, then I went. It really is in the middle of nowhere!
I'd love to say it was the best experience of my life... to be honest, the food WAS great, but when I was there, I found the place pretty vibe-less (an occasional danger at high-end places), though not because it was overly-formal, it was just a bit quiet, and the room's pretty plain. It was a few years ago, so there's probably stuff I've forgotten. I'm thrilled I've been, so I don't have to wonder, and for bragging rights (!) but as an overall experience it was not the best, you need more than just great food.
Incidentally, presumably because it's such a compelling story, I'm coming across a few more restaurants that are doing the cooking over wood thing.
Overall my feeling about favourite restaurants is what a body-art guy said when asked what their favourite tattoo was.
The next one.
