Based
on
my
personal
experience,
I
cannot
strongly
recommend
this
restaurant.
Although
I
had
initially
secured
an
indoor
table
through
the
online
booking
system,
the
manager,
Tina,
persuaded
me
to
switch
to
outdoor
seating
in
the
late
afternoon
with
some
excuse.
Unfortunately,
this
is
where
the
experience
took
a
turn
for
the
worse.
DO
NOT
RISK
YOURSELF
AND
SIT
OUTDOOR!
The
outdoor
atmosphere
was
appealing
but
my
enjoyable
meal
was
unfortunately
interrupted
by
unpleasant
second
hand
smoke
in
the
middle
of
the
main
course.
For
non-smokers,
the
indoor
seating
will
be
a
safer
choice.
Let
us
go
back
to
food.
Overall,
the
food
ranged
from
good
to
great.
Lacking
some
mind
blowing
factor
to
make
me
wow.
The
amuse
bouches
were
either
good
or
normal.
The
prawn
ravioli
was
excellent/great
with
its
sauce.
The
Hokkaido
scallop
tasted
fantastic/great
with
top-notch
quality.
The
tenderloin
was
a
bit
disappointing
and
still
good:
the
foie
gras
had
a
superb
texture
but
a
slightly
fishy
aroma,
while
the
tenderloin
itself
met
expectations.
The
cheese
was
average,
with
nothing
particularly
noteworthy.
However,
the
apple
tartare
was
exceptional:
crispy
and
aromatic.
The
service
was
initially
attentive,
but
it
became
inconsistent
as
the
restaurant
filled
with
more
guests.
Unfortunately,
the
wait
for
my
cheese
after
the
tenderloin
was
unacceptable.
Despite
requesting
it
twice,
I
waited
over
35
minutes,
which
falls
short
of
the
standards
expected
for
a
fine
dining
establishment.
My
ratings
tells
everything
and
hope
it
helps.
