The location and ambience were able to reassure that they are a fine dining restaurant. However, as the floor staff led us to our table, my mood turned up side down. Its a squeezed-in table barely placed at the end of the passage just next to the trays they put the soiled dishes, and the two of us were arranged to sit side by side, its kinda Cafe de Coral seating.

The location and ambience were able to reassure that they are a fine dining restaurant. However, as the floor staff led us to our table, my mood turned up side down

. Its a squeezed-in table barely placed at the end of the passage just next to the trays they put the soiled dishes, and the two of us were arranged to sit side by side, its kinda Cafe de Coral seating. I refused to sit down but a manager-like guy promised he will change for us once they have an empty table. There was just an empty table by the window but he refused to offer us he said someone booked for anniversary and they ordered a cake....so on and so forth.....we did saw a couple sat down but they left after 5 min.,

very soon they settled another pair at that table and their promise to change table for us just vanished. It was obvious that the manager-like staff lied and failed to follow up on what he promised

. Good thing or bad, I didn't see him anymore the rest of the evening. Anyway, later as we saw someone asked for the bill we initiated the request again and another smart staff ensured us a smooth transfer.

So much about the table arrangement, let's get back to their food. Honestly I don't have much to say about the food as all were being ordered by my friend. I was quite impressed by the lack of taste of the slow roasted rib despite portion and display were both nice. It could have been a great dish if the flavor of beef was stronger. We also had a lobster spaghetti, ummmm.....spaghetti wasn't al dente and the flavor of fresh lobster was absent. Its a B- dish if I had to rate it. We ordered fries on the side, I warn you not to if you are serious about fries

. Their fries were very thin, they gone flat fast, they became chewy half way thru the dinner.
Last but not least, their desserts. As we were unable to finish all mains, so we only ordered 1 apple crumble to share. Again, if you are serious about it, don't try

. Nothing seem right on this apple crumble. the crumbles wasn't crunchy, the apple content......awrrr....don't wanna mention it. its apple dices in different shapes and sizes so some of them are cooked whilst larger dices were still crunchy. I was like eating a half cooked dessert. Its a very disappointing finale of the evening.
To start with.....a bad table arrangement and to end with a half cooked dessert. What can I say?

Since we used an app to book so we received 35% off from the bill (excl drinks and service charges), a dinner for 2 with wine costs $1,100 in Admiralty I think its a good budget and they do not have a time limit for our dinner, so these are the good things.
