This
restaurant
has
high
ambitions,
but
for
our
Friday
night
dining,
they
unfortunately
fell
short.
It
was
a
very
quiet
night,
with
maybe
3
or
4
tables
filled,
and
two
staff
in
the
kitchen
and
one
doing
service.
Contrary
to
their
website
and
the
ad
on
the
door,
they
only
opened
at
19
instead
of
18
o'clock.
The
atmosphere
is
relaxed
and
casual,
and
the
interior
tasteful.
Unfortunately,
we
were
somewhat
cold,
and
even
after
the
waiter
said
they'd
turn
up
the
heat,
this
was
not
resolved.
The
food
is
ambitious,
and
overall
above
average.
But
it
does
not
match
their
ambitions
or
their
price
range:
the
mustard
overpowered
the
avocado,
and
the
tuna
almost
a
non-entity.
The
quail
egg
was
fried
too
long.
The
same
flavor
imbalance
was
obvious
in
the
dim
sum,
where
the
semi-dry
cherry
tomatoes
overwhelmed
the
otherwise
interesting,
I
dare
say
fascinating,
combination
of
fresh
herbs
entirely.
The
associated
soy-tomato
sauce
was
thin
and
weak.
The
soup
was
solid,
even
if
the
baked
rice
served
an
unclear
purpose.
The
most
disappointing
dish
was
the
Thai
curry
with
halibut.
The
fish
was
not
just
firm,
but
downright
dry
and
clearly
too
long
in
the
pan.
Fish
should
not
be
brittle!
And
the
curry
sauce
strangely
reminded
me
considerably
of
the
soup
before.
My
company
had
the
duck
however,
and
that
was
well
executed,
cooked
to
the
point,
and
tasty.
The
dessert
was
very
good.
While
the
cream
cheese
foam
was
just
slightly
grainy
(my
guess:
the
white
chocolate
wasn't
well
tempered?),
the
passion
fruit,
dark
chocolate
mousse
and
milk
chocolate
mousse,
and
the
outstanding
cassis
coconut
layers
were
very
well
done
indeed.
Service
was
very
friendly
and
professional.
Overall,
my
best
guess
is
that
we
hit
either
an
unlucky
day
or
the
quality
has
declined
since
the
ratings
were
awarded.
