I have to say I have been to Watermark now on a few occasions and was actually surprised to find the food much better than I initial expected, thinking they would could concentrate less on this as they have such a special location as with most of the IGOR Group establishments it is more miss than hit. I was however a little disappointed with the CNY set dinner first and foremost it was expensive approx. $800 a person and the choices were lacking for example to start you got a celery soup (nice a
I was however a little disappointed with the CNY set dinner first and foremost it was expensive approx. $800 a person and the choices were lacking for example to start you got a celery soup (nice and light and tasty) and then a type of salmon sashimi (well presented and choice cuts of fish) but you did not have an option to choose from. Amuse bouche was a kumquat sorbet which they should have just not bothered serving as the taste was sour and unflattering on the palette in fact almost everyone at the table took a bite, made a face and left it. Note to kitchen sometimes less is more and stick to real fruits for sorbet. 3 choices of mains lamb, steak and cod. I was upset to find out a delicious fish such as cod (and endangered) was served in a bouillabaisse reduction, again don't frou frou the food go simple. So I had the lamb which in general I do not order in restaurants as they seem to always under cook it , which was the case but they solved the temperature and it ended up being quite delicate in flavor yet hearty and filling. Dessert was nice (can't remember what as I don't have a sweet tooth) but wish they had at least 2 choices for dessert.
As far as the wines they had nothing priced in a mid range as we were a large group that can drink and went through a number of bottles so our choices were low priced and awful or extremely high priced and decent, so nothing in between.
All in all it was a nice dinner and everyone in the restaurant had a great view of the fireworks as the wind was blowing the smoke towards the island and away from us. I do wish they had more choices to choose from and or allowed you to order off the a la carte menu as prix fixe menus only cheat the diner out of the restaurant experience and burn a large hole in their pocket.
