Will not be coming back. Had food posisoning a few hours later. Food was not up to standard and chef did not follow the menu. I came here for dinner, 5pax. Many other reviews view this place as 'fine dining,' but after dining here I am disappointed.
FOOD:
menu: ordered the 'C' set
As seen in the picture,
1. Truffle pasta was plated questionably.
2. I asked for a medium steak. Instead, the meat was well done, and a bit dry. The caramelised onion was also not grilled properly. It tasted raw.
3. Cod was supposed to come with mash potatoes. Mash potatoes were nowhere to be seen. When we asked, they said it was because they changed the menu from sweet potato to truffle pasta. But not all of us were eating the truffle pasta (more elaboration below)
3. (not in picture) They also served us grapes, but the grapes, despite being cut into half, had many many seeds inside. As a proper restaurant I expected better.
SERVICE:
1. We already made a reservation in advance. However, when we were supposed to be served our sweet potato, the waiter informed us that they would be serving us truffle pasta instead, as they had run out of sweet potato. Upon request, since my family member did not like pasta, the restaurant gave her the last piece of sweet potato. However, that family member was not given her mashed potato with the cod fish, even though she didn't eat the pasta. I expected them to have sufficient ingredients for us.
To make up for the mistake, the chef offered us complementary truffle ice cream. However, there were 5 of us, but we were only served 2 plates. But thank you for the ice cream.
2. I expected a fine dining place, as so they have labelled themselves as. However, after each meal they did not change us a new set of cutlery. We had multiple spoons, but only 1 fork and 1 knife. We were using the same knife for all the dishes! (salad, fish, steak, etc..)
Please feel free to email me if you require additional feedback. I trust you will address your restaurant's seriously falling standards.
update: After reading the owner's review, definitely will not be coming back. The reply was passive aggressive. If you had accepted our reservation, you should have checked beforehand to ensure you had sufficient stock. Also, maybe inform us slightly beforehand about the change in menu and not when we're eating the second course. also had food poisoning a few hours later.
