This
was
a
disappointingly
average
experience,
especially
for
a
2
star
restaurant.
Let's
start
with
the
positives:
the
view
from
the
property
can't
be
beat,
and
the
restaurant
certainly
adds
little
touches
to
deliver
an
experience
that
is
more
than
just
the
food,
like
the
design
and
sounds
of
the
dessert
cart,
the
mini
game
during
the
appetizers,
and
the
bread
made
right
at
the
table.
The
service
was
a
mixed
bag.
While
attentive,
I
found
it
very
rehearsed
and
impersonal.
Every
dish
was
explained
with
less
than
10-15
words,
that's
how
memorable
it
was.
The
staff
were
even
quite
stifling
and
too
formal
at
times.
As
an
example,
when
I
was
returning
from
the
washroom,
I
passed
by
a
customer
who
was
simply
taking
a
photo
of
the
coast
from
the
window
in
the
main
lobby
and
the
staff
rushed
out
to
ask
her
if
she
needed
help
finding
her
table,
when
it
was
clear
from
the
context
that
all
she
wanted
to
do
was
take
a
photo.
She
wasn't
disturbing
anyone
else,
there
were
no
tables
nearby,
she
wasn't
taking
an
annoyingly
long
series
of
selfies,
but
the
staff
acted
with
an
urgency
as
if
she
was
somewhere
she
didn't
belong.
But
the
most
disappointing
part
was
the
food
itself.
The
portions
were
incredibly
small,
even
for
a
Michelin
star
tasting
menu.
This
is
the
only
restaurant
where
I've
left
hungry
after
completing
a
12-course
tasting
menu.
And
for
the
price,
that
definitely
should
not
be
the
case.
I
came
way
feeling
I
overpaid
even
for
a
Michelin
star
experience.
The
flavours
were
also
not
very
refined.
More
than
one
dish
had
too
many
flavours
competing
with
one
another,
with
no
clear
direction
on
what
the
dish
was
trying
to
emphasize.
And
the
2
dishes
which
featured
the
use
of
curry
were
completely
overpowered
by
the
curry
flavour.
I'd
expect
a
kitchen
of
this
standard
to
know
that
a
little
goes
a
very
long
way
when
it
comes
to
using
curry
powder,
especially
when
portions
are
this
small.
I
don't
know
how
or
why
the
Michelin
guide
rated
them
2
stars
again.
Maybe
the
2
stars
sets
diner
expectations
too
high?
Either
way
I've
definitely
had
much
better
food
at
1
star
and
Bib
Gourmand
restaurants,
and
I
would
not
revisit.
