We chose this place because of the free corkage which was a good idea as we had more than 10 bottles that night. The place is in a nice building but unfortunately was under renovation and we had to navigate through the maze and change lifts to get up there. The place is cozy and the tables just a touch too close to the others, but then they had a few big parties that night (the table perpendicular to ours had 16, we had 12) so that's excusable. The only thing that I could fault them was that the
The dinner menu, although called a set menu, had enough choices to please everyone, but note there is no vegetarian option for the main course. They also have specials that are not listed, such as the oysters, the lobster (they only allocated 3 lobsters to our table which was all snapped up pretty quickly), and mussels in white wine cream sauce that proved to be a big dish of bivalves in a tasty soup. The bread was soft, moist, and dense enough to be chewy, which is how I like them. The onion bread had slices of onion embedded in the dough, the cheese one had burnt crusty cheese as a topping, and the focaccia had a good strong herbal taste to it. They were only able to refill the cheese and focaccia bread as they had run out of onion bread by 7:30pm.
We ordered different things on the item and everything lived up to its expectations. Nothing was overpowering, the whole dish was well balanced and the composition of ingredients interesting and aesthetically pleasing. All was cooked to a very high standard and the seasoning was done to perfection. The only 2 dishes that I would comment on are the mushroom soup (too thick and clumpy, my friend left hers standing for a few minutes and it became a mud-like texture), and the souffle, where the flavours (butterscotch, ginger etc) could not mask the fact that the souffle mix was too eggy, foamy (in a bad way), and bland. It tasted like sugar flavoured soap suds.
The staff were generally friendly but curt when they're busy, but overall service was prompt and efficient.
