Came here last month for a birthday dinner. We all ordered the three course set dinners. It's around $300 and there's a wide variety of dishes to choose from. I wanted to eat the lobster thermidor, but there was a surcharge of $250 which I thought was quite ridiculous.Anyways, for starters, the scallop salad with "Twyst" dressing was a bit on the raw side.

Anyways, for starters, the scallop salad with "Twyst" dressing was a bit on the raw side. The scallops were meant to be seared but they hardly were seared and seemed more like scallop sashimi. We also tried the foie gras, which went really well with the sauce and figs, and was excellent overall .
For the second course, I had an abalone risotto. The abalone was coated in bread crumbs and baked. The taste good but I didn't think the bread crumbs really went with it. The risotto was alright but tasted a bit like Chinese fried rice! My friends also tried the shrimp ravioli, which according to them had some pork in it and tasted exactly like wonton. The tomato consomme was good and also came with a wonton.
The steak, which I had for my main course was cooked nicely. The only thing was that the potatoes on the side were a bit raw and crunchy.
This is a very small and private restaurant and would probably be quite appropriate for private parties. There's also free corkage, cake charge is around $100.
The only problem is that the toilet is extremely hot and the fans in there hardly help! The restaurant should probably do something about the heat. Other than that, the price and quality made this a reasonable meal, but nothing really stood out to make me want to come back again.
