This restaurant is located in the lobby of The Peninsula, most famous for the afternoon tea and everyday one would see long queues and a full-house of people enjoying snacks and a cup of nice coffee or tea. We came tonight for dinner though. Dinner is much more quiet than the afternoon session, and seated at a table in the middle of the lobby allows us to savor the grand decor of the hotel, with its high ceiling, columns with sculptures, and plenty of palm trees creating a relaxing, grand yet fr

We ordered a Caesar Salad ($235) to share as starter. Prepared with the traditional recipe, the Roman lettuce is mixed with bacon, egg, anchovy and crouton. The sauce is very delicious, with the right balance of acidity from lemon juice and savory from the anchovy. The crouton added a nice crunchy bite too.
For the main my wife had the Boston Lobster Spaghetti ($718) while I opted for Australian Lamb Chops ($498). Grilled to medium rare as per my request, the lamb is tender, with the right amount of fat but not excessively so. Paired with a grilled garlic, red wine sauce and mashed potato, the seasoning is appropriate. Overall it is a decent offering but if compared with a good steakhouse it is a bit lackluster.
On dessert I had a Baked Cheese Cake ($185) while my wife had chosen the Rose Tea Cake ($178). The cheese cake is rich, with the cream cheese balanced well with lemon juice to give the right sweetness, pleasing on the palate. There is also a scoop of lime sorbet which has mouthwatering acidity to complement. Together with a cup of Double Espresso ($80) it is a good finish to my dinner.
Service is good, though it seems to me many of the staff is fairly new, as they are a bit hesitant on their works and not exactly handle things too smoothly. But it does not affect the overall experience. The bill was $2,279 which is a bit expensive considering the food we had. Personally if coming to The Peninsula for dinner, choosing their other restaurants might seem a better choice.
