We got there for our 7.30pm dinner and was seated promptly as we had a reservation. The ambience of the place was great. It is a fine dining restaurant but not one of those too quiet where you can hear a pin drop. Everyone around seems to be having a great time without being too noisy or intrusive.
We were given the menu and they showed us the various cuts on the trolley that's available for the day. We decided to order a few starters to share as we were quite afraid that we would be too full to finish our mains.
The cheese breadstick, which I think is parmesan was fabulous.
There were about five choices of bread. I had the onion bread that was very good. There's just the right hint of onion without tasting too "oniony" :)
The crabmeat salad was really good too. It was light, tasty and refreshing and I think the presentation's great too.
We ordered a few starters that we think is different from any other restaurants that we had been to. Why order the same stuff as what you can get at other places right? This is the veal tongue. I know it does not sound appetising but we thought, heck why not. It was tender and it was not slimy or sticky. It tastes almost like meat but lighter. The dressing that went with it was also very good. Even my teenage daughter likes it.
The carpaccio- style raw scallops were excellent! Light and the wonderfully tasty dressing with a touch of fish roe really enhances the flavour of the scallops. I enjoyed this very much.
This is my Japanese wagyu sirloin. It was delicious! We ordered sweetcorn, wild mushrooms and broccoli as our sides. The meat was done just right although I find the seasoning just a tad salty but then again, that's relative as I do not take a lot of salt. However, another friend said that it's just right for her. The sweetcorn was good and if I am not wrong, there's a slight lime flavour to it. The wild mushrooms was fabulous too. The brocolli was ok and I feel it was just slightly overdone for brocolli. Another one of us ordered the USDA filet mignon and it was an excellent choice as well. She said it melts in her mouth and it was tender, succulent and fabulous. We ordered three different sauce to go with our steaks as well. I had a cream horseradish sauce, it was fab.
Since I am not really a dessert person, I ordered a scoop of sorbet for dessert. I LOVE sorbets :P. It is good but then again, a restaurant of this standard should not go wrong with sorbets.
The service staff who was serving our table was excellent. He had been working in other fine steak restaurants before and so he knows what he is talking about. He also has a great personality and a good sense of humour which is refreshing. With bad service, even the fabulous food could not make up for the bad experience. We had a lovely time with great food, fabulous company, wonderful service and the superb ambience All in all, it was a fantastic birthday celebration with my JJCM kaki. I would definitely visit them again.
