Booked in advance for Mother’s Day dinner, A La Carte menu. A lot of other places in similar range were full. $500 deposit needed to place booking.
Pros:
-Decor is nice
-Relatively quiet even when full house
-BBQ meats were pretty tasty
Cons:
-Hotel locked off entrance to the restaurant without any signage. Reservation team did not mention this at all. Had to ask concierge to take us to a completely different entrance outside the hotel.
-cold, uninterested service for a Michelin restaurant. Server did not come to pour tea even once, or check on pot before it ran empty.
-floor highly understaffed, had to wave around every time something was needed
-“Sold out” of classic dishes like crispy fried chicken & live lobster at 7pm, yet was able to serve the chicken on the Mother’s Day menu. If so many ALC items were going to be sold out, then don’t offer the ALC.
-No one checked or asked if we were happy with the food
Dishes:
-Appetizer trio: $3xx - decent
-Osmanthus Crispy Chicken $2xx - ok but not very crispy and the sauce doesn’t add to the overall flavour
-Grouper Pieces with Honeyed Ham and Morels $5xx- couldn’t taste the morels. Fish and ham and veg tasted fine and well presented, but very disassembled dish.
-Stir Fried Lobster Pieces $5xx - straight up insulting in amount and execution. Nearly $600 with 6pcs of lobster that doesn’t seem to even make up one tail. Fried with shell still on, so meat was completely stuck to shell, no tools given to eat, very difficult to eat. Requested seafood picks 2x before being told restaurant doesn’t have any...in a place where live Alaskan King crab and lobster is on the menu. Meat was scarce, hard and pretty flavourless.
-Kurobuta Fried Noodles $3xx - good but not enough sauce, sauce a bit too viscous to spread over noodles
Conclusion:
Very disappointing for a Michelin restaurant for this level of service and execution.
