I had a mixed experience at Sherlock. While the location is breathtaking and the food was simply exceptional, my initial interaction regarding reservations left a lot to be desired. The beautiful garden views are enchanting, but some cleanliness and maintenance issues in the rooms were not ideal. Overall, it's a place to unwind, but there are areas that could use improvement.
