Visited on 23rd April 2024 for a celebratory dinner. Overall, food was a bit of a let down given the positive reviews but we were pleased about the service.
Three small plates to start were a mix of hit or miss. Oysters with apple and seaweed—fresh and refreshing. The pigeon skewer was packed with flavours, but unfortunately overcooked and the meat was quite tough. Squid on beans was beautiful however, a galore of well-balanced flavours and textures with the squid grilled to perfection.
The biggest disappointment of the evening was our main, the aged mutton. We were told by the staff that it was going to be quite fatty with the a fat to meat ratio of ~50%. When it arrived, most slices were almost entirely fat with just a thread of meat in between. The few slices that had good amount of meat to them were actually delicious. But for the most part, we just could not bring ourselves to eating a whole steak of pure mutton fat.
We relayed our feedback to the staff and appreciated that they took it back to the kitchen for further grilling (which did not really help) and eventually offered take it off the bill. Unfortunately, our appetites were ruined by the greasiness of the dish and we no longer felt like ordering another main or trying their desserts. It is a shame because the cheesecake looked and smelled amazing.
All in all, wish the experience had been better but we are happy with how the staff handled everything. Hope to be back another time and have better luck!
