We went to the restaurant on a quiet weekday and decided to sample the restaurant's signature menu. We had high hopes given the moderately positive comments we saw on Openrice.These are the items we ordered:Lobster BisqueClassic soup. When done beautifully, it is a taste that is out of this world. Unfortunately, our experience at the restaurant brought us down to earth. First, the soup was not served hot enough, when it should have been piping hot. Poor execution from the kitchen. Second, the taste of the lobster meat was bland - obviously frozen. Third, the taste of morels did not balance well with the rest of the soup. The safron should have added more to the overall taste but sadly did not. Finally, the texture of the soup was way too thin. Disappointing start.Roasted ChickenA whole chicken that was served in two rounds. First came the breast. The breast was cooked nicely as it was tender and juicy. The seasoning was generally lacking. However, the main issue we had with the dish was the skin of the chicken. What should have been crispy on the outside was soft and mushy. We suspect the chicken has been sitting out in the open for some time. This is a dish that would have passed for a home cook. However, for the price they are charging, this dish was unacceptable.The second dish came was the chicken thighs. The taste was disappointing as the protein chewed like rubber and lacking in taste. The plating also lacked finesse - with sauce being dripped carelessly on the plate. We did not finish this.Another disappointment. We decided to skip dessert and call it a night.The bread which started the meal was lukewarm. Bread selection was awful. The Amuse Bouche (which also is the name from the restaurant) was a huge disappointment. The dish consisting of mixed seafood had a sauce that did not go well with the ingredients. The texture of the cuttlefish was rubbery. Dish was not seasoned well.The only saving grace of the restaurant was the service - which we thought was quite warm and attentive.We will not be coming back.…查看更多

After a brutal Wednesday right in the middle of the week, there is nothing nicer than a sashimi dinner with several good friends to enjoy good food and to catch up on each other. Or so it seems. Since my friends have a ball game in Smithfield later in the evening, I reckon it would be nice to go to Oonami for a quick sushi dinner. Then begins the nightmare...We ordered several sushi sets just to get started, before deciding on the main courses. While we were eating the very average quality sushi and sipping green tea, my friend suddenly jumped up and started screaming. Before having the time to react, I noticed a big cockroach crawling next to me on the wall right across the sushi bar. Not one who is easily shocked nor disgusted, I still wanted to puke as it must be one of the largest cockroaches I have ever seen. It must have been very well fed.As we remained aghast of what we saw, I immediately turned my head to see how the staff would react. Surprisingly, they had this "i don't care" attitude written on their faces, as if this is something that occurs all the time. I immediately wanted to speak to the manager about this ,and was taken aback again by his very rude behavior. Not only did he not apologize, it took him forever to relocate us to another table.Our appetite was long spoilt by what we saw, and our mood turned sour from the lack of professionalism from everyone working in this restaurant. It is obvious that the restaurant does not care about the hygiene nor its customers.…查看更多
