Thanks to the decor & service, this posh-looking restaurant appears to be increasingly popular as reflected in the difficulty in making online reservations. However, our last visit was a disappointment. The ambience remained impressive and we were anticipating a pleasant dining experience with friends we took there. We were nicely greeted by the captain who introduced us to the lunch set & a la carte menus on the tablets he placed on our table. For the variety of choices available in the lunch set menu, we ordered two ribeye steaks, a dish of spaghetti with seared scallop & a dish of fried Chinese egg noodles with an assortment of vegetables. We were served first watercress soup and a refreshing salad with shrimps. Our disappointment started when the main course came. While my friends gave no comments on their steak & spaghetti, our steak was not only lacking in flavour, but completely well-done, rendering it dry, chewy & nearly tasteless, & the sauce for our crispy noodles was simply too sweet. The dessert was no better - a small piece of something like a black forest cake, dry & bland. Pity that a restaurant which for its nice decor & service has gained popularity may lose its appeal with the lack of attention to what matters most in a dining experience - food.
