The menu is small which, paradoxically, made it more difficult to order. As I understood it, we had to order a minimum of 3 courses each, for which there was a set price.
My friend eventually decided on the Boston Lobster set menu (4 courses) & I ordered a soup and a main (intending to have a dessert).
The lobster starter was salad with mango and lots of very tasty looking lobster meat. The consommé with wonton that I had was very nice but a bit salty. My friend's soup was next - a sort of bisque which resembled a cappucino. She loved it.
Now to the serious stuff, the mains. The lobster main was served with pasta and I am told it was delicious. My pork was beautifully tender & perfectly cooked with just the right amount of fat.
Baileys soufflé & an icecream dessert rounded off a very nice meal.
Downside: not enough vegetables
Service: pleasant but over-zealous at the beginning but settled down once the place filled up.
Oddly, when we ordered the second bottle of sparkling water, it took forever & I was told that they were having to go to their storeroom to get it. (I offered to pop out to the 7/11 instead but the waitress seemed a little confused at that.)
A good meal & I look forward to going back after their menu changes on 15 July.
