I
am
honestly
shocked
that
I
wasn't
able
to
find
a
single
bad
review
online
for
this
place.
We
were
a
party
of
3
in
the
Melbourne
pop
up
store
in
Crown
Casino,
I've
eaten
all
around
the
world
and
quite
often
eat
fine
dining
and
I
can
confidently
say
that
this
is
the
worst
and
most
underwhelming
experience
i've
ever
had.
At
$185AUD
per
person,
we
were
served
a
5
course
meal,
the
first
course
of
crab
pate
and
crackers
was
probably
worth
$5
worth
of
raw
ingredients,
the
two
serves
came
out
looking
completely
different
due
to
one
being
stored
at
a
different
temp
(according
to
the
waiter)
which
looking
like
growing
mould
on
a
petri
dish
(absolutelu
failed
in
presentation
and
2
dishes
not
consistent
with
each
other).
The
second
dish
was
literally
a
small
(tablespoon
size)
of
premium
tinned
crab
mince
meat
in
half
an
avacado,
this
would
have
cost
the
restaurant
~$3
in
raw
ingredients.
The
third
course
was
a
prawn,
not
like
the
one
at
the
original
restaurants,
but
an
Australian
Banana
Prawn
which
is
about
1/4
the
size
of
what
is
shown
in
the
original
website,
understand
that
our
country
may
not
have
the
same
size
prawns,
but
at
$185,
at
least
serve
two,
one
banana
prawn
this
size
in
Australia
would
cost
around
$3.
The
main
(4th
course)
was
the
pepper
crab,
our
crab
had
so
little
meat
that
the
restaurant
actually
decided
to
guve
us
a
second
serving
of
it
because
just
serving
one
would
have
been
robbery,
the
pepper
taste
was
way
too
overpowering
and
strong
and
was
balance
with
white
rice
which
was
steamed
with
too
much
water
(it
was
mushy),
I've
eaten
singapore/malaysian
pepper
crab
dozens
of
times
and
this
was
not
it.
The
dessert
was
literally
just
a
creme
brulee
in
half
a
coconut,
I
can
make
this
at
home,
in
fact,
I'm
quite
certain
I
can
replicate
every
single
dish
that
was
served
and
i'm
not
a
culinary
master
by
any
means,
the
best
dish
was
the
XO
prawns,
which
was
literally
just
a
pan
fried
prawn
laid
on
a
bed
of
XO
chilli
sauce
which
tastes
exactly
like
the
jar
one
you
can
buy
from
your
local
asian
grocer.
We
spent
$600AUD
for
3
people
and
all
3
of
us
were
extremely
disappointed
and
felt
completely
ripped
off.
Maybe
its
a
different
experience
at
the
original
store
but
the
owner
and
chefs
should
honestly
be
ashamed
for
what
we
were
served
vs
what
they
are
charging.any
fine
dining
restaurant
(or
even
normal
restaurant)
in
Melbourne
is
MUCH
better
than
this,
and
i
eat
out
a
lot.
If
I
could
rate
this
place
a
negative
I
would.
