Just had a business lunch (9 people) over there, id like to summarize a few points:* the good things: pretty interesting place with a very large dome. Clearly they want to impress the patrons with pretty expensive cellar. Room is bright, and many staff were there to help us. Service was good, food served pretty quikcly, which is easy to conceive since they dont spend much time making the dishes.* the very bads: You understand the concept of this place is more about the bar and its bling bling with their exposed Petrus and Cristal jeroboams. They will surely not make enough $ based on their lunches, despite being well over-rated and therefore expensive.- Set lunch: nothing was vegetarian (though im not, i just state the obvious), i had the salad as starter, which was ok. then for the main, i had the lobster with vegetables and fries. I had asked the waiter to swap the fries with plain spaghetti as they were also on the set menu, and they declined. The vegetables were simply romaine lettuce, and the fries were not even home made but frozen, simple formatted rectangles. The lobster was not enough cooked to my taste. I hear now that my colleague had frozen red snapper as well, sigh...-Dessert, i didnt order any but i saw my colleague ordering a mille-feuilles at $150 which does not at all look like a mille-feuilles. She didnt even finish it.Pretty poor outcome for this restaurant that thinks can pretend fine dining with their luxurious cellar. Food was so poor, and so expensive, ill consider other venues in the future, and wont step in anymore, even on PA, or when invited by other companies.For the lobster id rather go to other common places like Landmark cafe, or Cova, which will give you far more attention and good food in decent quantity. Else for the same budget, ill prefer Zuma, or Island Tang in the same neighbourhood with much better food quality.Sure it doesnt suffice to give the place a french name... Very disappointed to say the least, good luck to them.…Read More

Ordered beef rendang for lunch, and my half ordered S'pore noodles.We both know the dishes very well after more than a decade spent in this region of the world.Singapore noodles were average. Not the right choice of chili to me, and prawns were not very fresh.Beef rendang: huge disappointment, nothing compared with the Thai / Indon open restaurant in LKF, which is not already great. No flavour of coconut, not spicy, and beef was chewy and very fatty under a chunk of dry garlic. Rice was plain and too dry. Terrible experience.Drinks ? No fresh juices are available.Decor : pretty poor and random. Lights give a yellow look to the plate which isnt too nice.Staff was friendly though.Overall, i had high expectations to try this restaurant, and was very disappointed. Its a poor range of South East Asian dishes which are mastered at all at least for these 2 common dishes.Pergi !:(…Read More
