I ordered their lunch set which consisted of Double boiled chicken consomme,grilled snapper and the molten chocolate cake. Price came out to be 345 for the 3 course meal.
My friend ordered a Pearl Barley "Risotto" small size for 125.
Decoration: The decoration of the place is nothing special. This place definitely looks better in their photos. In person, the layout and decoration reminded me of a diner/cafe.
Food: I am not sure how their were so many positive ratings for this place but I found most of the food subpar at any price range. The presentation of the food I have to say was very nice. The chicken consomme I had was bland. It didnt have a rich taste to it. The grilled snapper was slightly overcooked. The meat was a little dry. Most restaurants could have done a better job. My friends Barley "Risotto" was good. It was a simple dish with simple ingredients (just leek inside and a few dabs of truffle paste). Molten Chocolate Cake was a complete failure. The presentation was good and thats about it. It was totally cooked. Outside it was a chocolate cake, inside the cake was still a chocolate cake, completely dry.
Service: I am very surprised to find that the service was subpar. As I mentioned, the restaurant was empty when I arrived and by the time I finished an hour later, it was still only half full at most. The waiters were polite. My water was never refilled unless I asked them. I wonder what they are thinking when they just walk around in circles doing nothing. When I asked for the bill, it arrived at my table shortly afterwards.... as I paid by credit card I expected them to check it and give me the receipt and the credit card copy after I have signed it. No one came to attend to my bill for another 10 minutes so I just left after taking the receipt and credit card copy. As I left, the waiter finally came over and took away the bill but did not say bye. At the time I left there was still an over abundance of waiters compared to the customers. The waiters just werent doing anything.
