This is my 1st openrice review. I never found the needs to write a restaurant review until I went to this restaurant.After my car has went by several times, I've decided to go try out this restaurant because the interior looks really good. The furnitures and decor was certainly well put together. Interior was very pretty. But as much as that, the food was really disappointing. I ordered the $680 menu instead of $980 one, i can't remember the name of the dishes but here are the descriptions:1st C
After my car has went by several times, I've decided to go try out this restaurant because the interior looks really good. The furnitures and decor was certainly well put together. Interior was very pretty. But as much as that, the food was really disappointing.
I ordered the $680 menu instead of $980 one, i can't remember the name of the dishes but here are the descriptions:
1st Course:
beetroot with mustard ice-cream
The mustard ice-cream was tasty but the beetroot was totally blend and the crumbles they sprinkle on side does not taste like anything except for beauty effect. Generally, I would say 5 out of 10
2nd Course:
cold angel hair with unknown pink cream sauce and truffle sprinkles on top in martini glass
I couldn't taste what the pink cream sauce was at all because it was completely blend. The truffle sprinkles hardly had any taste and it did not enhance the dish at all. Beside the lovely outlook, this dish tasted like nothing. I would say 2 out of 10
3rd Course:
poached salmon with yoghurt sauce and sour cucumber
The poached salmon texture was soft but it tasted like nothing. I understand if the chef's approach to having more blend taste but having the customer to feel the freshness for ingredients but problem is the salmon didn't taste fresh. The yoghurt sauce was plain yoghurt that had no taste. The best was the cucumber that was soaked in vinegar previously. I would say 3 out of 10 for this dish
4th Course:
cauliflower soup with cheese and sweet potato or pumpkin chips and panchetta
The soup was actually okay. It was tasty enough but the taste of cheese clashed with the soup. It did not go well together and the texture of the pumpkin chips clashed as well with the soup because it wasn't crunchy nor did it melt in my mouth to go along with the soup. The cheese was too strong and it overwhelmed the taste of soup in general. I would say 6out of 10
5th Course:
Main course which was duck breast with caramelized peach.
The duck was rare which is okay for me because I like meat rare but they should've asked customers preference beforehand instead of assuming customer's taste. The duck was extremely tough. There were many parts were I could not chew and swallow and had to spit out. The caramelized peach was cooked with some strange spice that left it tasting smoking / woody. The taste of sauce did not continue once you bit the peach, it taste like nothing but blend peach inside. The duck was generally blend. One of the worse duck I've had in years. So I would say 2 out of 10 because the presentation was nice.
6th Course:
Dessert: Lemon flavoured custard with sponge cake, whipped cream, tiny bit of orange peel. looks like baked alaska
Surprisingly the dessert was by far the best thing on the menu. After a nightmare of 5 courses, we left no expectations and the dessert was quite tasty. The sponge cake was mixed with lemon custard and with the heavy whipped cream on top it was actually quite lovely. I would say this was the strength cuisine in the restaurant. So I would say 10 out of 10
In general, a restaurant that i will never go back. The food lacks dimension. As you have the food in your mouth there was only one general taste. Only one dimension. The interior was very pretty. But restaurant should always focus on food quality. With the same price I could've had 3 course at restaurants like wooloomooloo or Sevva etc. It was not worth it at all. But good service with very polite friendly staff.
