The reviews I've heard before coming were mixed. Some people loved it while others said it did not meet their expectations. After experiencing their lunch, I would say I give the decor 90points, the service 65points, and the food 70points. For this price, I expected a bit more. Decor: everything was in beige or white hue, with high ceilings and freshly pressed tablecloth along with fresh flowers.

Decor: everything was in beige or white hue, with high ceilings and freshly pressed tablecloth along with fresh flowers. Loved the furniture as well as the set up of the kitchen, and a good variety of seats good for different occasions. Window seats could enjoy the view outside while tables in the centre could enjoy the view of the open kitchen. There's also a section at the back that had more large tables good for business lunches.
Service: the first thing I noticed was that several servers were wearing wooden sole shoes, so when they were walking around, it made loud clanking sounds which was quite disturbing. Perhaps it was because we started our lunch at 12noon sharp and the place was not full yet, so the echo of their shoes were amplified. I also felt that most of the servers were not very experienced, as there were lots of awkward pauses paired with nervous glances at each other before each dish was served. When serving us our bread, a server accidentally knocked over our crackers, and I could tell from his facial expression that he panicked. Another server must have accidentally let his hand slip when he placed the plate in front of me, as the loud bang of him 'throwing' down the plate made me jump a little. He immediately apologized and I could see his face turn bright red immediately. When we asked about the wine-list, the sommelier was unable to give us a recommendation immediately and said he had to double check if they had stock which was rather strange. Also, I noticed that many server's facemask did not cover their nose, which was rather odd for staff working at a restaurant of this level.
Food:
3 course $1088
4 course $1288
5 course $1488
First of all I really enjoyed how each guest gad their own separate bread basket. While i really enjoyed their crusty bread, it was not the style my friend enjoyed and I would have expected there to be more bread options.
🦪 Oyster with crispy shallot
The sauce completely overpowered the flavour of the oyster. Even though they were from Ebisu, I was definitely not able to tell if it was fresh or not
🐑 Lamb chump tartare
This was my favourite dish of the day! The lamb was diced to the perfect size so that it had a good texture. Loved the celeriac ice-cream which balanced the lamb flavour perfectly. It was my first time trying this combination and I was delighted!
🐌 Snails on watercress pasta
Snails came in two forms on top of a bed of watercress pasta which was cooked risotto style. While it was cooked in chicken broth, it was wayyy too salty for my liking. Texture of the pasta was also slightly undercooked and I did not enjoy this dish very much though it did fill me up a lot.
🐷 Slow roasted baby pork
Texture was good as you can never go wrong with slow cooking meats. Liked the small piece of deep fried pork grind at the side and the zucchini pasta roll at the side was refreshing. Again, the dipping sauce was a too salty.
🐮 Charcoal grilled veal tenderloin
I liked the texture of the meat a lot and similarly, I would have preferred if the sauce was less salty. However, the two deep fried heart shaped puffs at the side did surprise me.
🍨 Dessert was some raspberry icecream with mousse cake.
Complimentary dessert trolley at the end was quite a feast for the eyes, but the taste was average at best. The dark chocolate and mango chocolate were nothing outstanding, the pistachio chouz was a bit soggy but I appreciated how it was not overly sweet like most pistachio pastry desserts on the market. The macarons were not that great either.
Was happy with their coffee at the end though
