I’ve been dating someone for a few months. He says he loves me and I almost feel the same way. I do notice a tendency by him to control sometimes certain things especially when it comes to food. He is generally considerate of others but not always. He can be very critical sometimes especially at restaurants. It’s an odd mix of personality but I’m willing to see where it leads unless there are red flags. He also sometime makes it clear his way is the best way.
If I tell him I’d prefer to do it my way sometimes he yields but not always. He remarks as well like about my driving.
Am I setting myself up for failure? I broke up with a narcissist previously and don’t want to repeat the pattern.
He likes to control how the food is prepared. He is a good cook but I can cook too. He will also take a look at a pot he’s going to use and wash it more.
He has no hesitation critiquing restaurant food and service. Makes it sound worse in my opinion than it is. Sometimes though he likes a restaurant and compliments them.

No one is perfect. He has flaws - who doesn't? If his main issue is about food, that's pretty minor in the scheme of things. Just be watchful to be sure this doesn't extend to other areas that may be detrimental to a loving relationship.
