My friends and I arrived at 7:30pm and sat downstairs of the restaurant. The first thing my friend and I noticed was that it was very HOT! The A/C wasn't strong enough and we were sweating bullets during the whole meal. Anyhow, I ordered the duck and fois gras and my friend ordered the steak. Fois gras & Duck - the duck was okay but there wasn't any fois gras. They use pate to substitute for the fois gras and stuffed it inside the duck. I was very disappointed because the picture on their advert

Steak - okay but dry
The WORSE part of the whole meal was the buffet Parma Ham and Oysters. We arrived at 7:30 and by 8pm, they ran out of Parma Ham. We only had 3 plates (approx. 3 slices on each plate) so we asked them if they had anymore. What made everything worse was, the Parma Ham cutter came to our table to reason with us saying "You already had alot of Parma Ham and there's non left now. It'll take me an hour to trim of the fat and prepare another leg. By then, it'll be 9 o'clock. There's nothing we can do"
The point wasn't how many dishes of Parma Ham we had Mister. It's that your selling point is buffet style all you can eat Parma Ham and Oysters. Then, you run out at 8pm and reason like it was us requesting for too much.
The oysters didn't make us feel any better. My friend only got to eat 3 because there's this huge line-up to get it. There was only one opener so it took 15-20min to get a round of oysters. We gave up after the first plate
To be fair, the Truffle mushroom soup was delicious. I had 3 bowls (there were no other choices of food) and I would recommend that if you ever go.Overall, my friend and I are never going back to this restaurant again. For this price, I can dine elsewhere with better food and service.
