If money is not an issue, this is the place to be (the other one would be Caprice in my opinion).Ambience was good (a bit too dark for my parents to read the menu though), service was a bit slow at first coz it was packed on a monday night, had to ask a few times for the bread, and the manager was never around to take our orders so in the end the sommelier ended up taking out orders, dishing out bread and even pouring water... are they laying off staff due to the financial crisis?Food was fantab
Ambience was good (a bit too dark for my parents to read the menu though), service was a bit slow at first coz it was packed on a monday night, had to ask a few times for the bread, and the manager was never around to take our orders so in the end the sommelier ended up taking out orders, dishing out bread and even pouring water... are they laying off staff due to the financial crisis?
Food was fantabulous.. we had 2-3 tidbits and lots of bread befor our first course came (and we were half full already). It's sort of molecular gastronomy cum fusion french food, but not so weird that it puts me off, though there were some pretty awesome choices like crab icecream, or sweetbread with a chocolate-looking coating that tasted of foie gras. Most of us went for the "wholesome" menu (i.e. regular traditional dishes), so it was plain cod which was done beautifully. Chocolate souffle was rich and decadent whilst still retaining all that light puffiness. I had grapefruit granite with earl grey ice cream.
One flaw though, they messed up our booking as we changed the dates from Tue to Mon, and when we arrived we were told we didn't have any reservation but there is still a free table if we don't mind.... and we found out why they were thin on service - Maggie Cheung with her beau was there...
