| - Dim, cozy, candle-lit, lounge vibe, a restaurant by celeb chef Susur Lee and the Drake. The surrounding music is just loud enough but not overbearing so you can still carry a conversation with the group across the table. The place features a bar in the center occupying most of the space with surrounding booths for dinner/drinks. I would say a scene to impress a date, but note cocktails are $16-$19. The service was really attentive, we had reservations 5:45 - 8pm but they didn't shoo us out even when there was another reservation after us (maybe because of the $$$$ spent). From trying the menu from top down, expect small embellished overpriced plates that do not quite live up to expectations. Overall I enjoyed the environment and the highlight would be the cocktails and toasts.
Our group had tried quite a few drinks from their cocktail menu. If you're like me and prefer a milky fruity concoction without tasting so much of the alcohol then I recommend the Proper Ting or the Coconut lime mojito. I've tried the Sweeter man but the name can be misleading as it's not as sweet and you can taste more of the alcohol in that drink. Our waiter told us that the dishes on the menu are meant to be shared as they can't guarantee that they can have every plate come in at once.
Ordered
Toasts (all 3 - $10/each) - Hard to decide which is my favorite as all 3 had a different taste palette and was the highlight of the meal along with the lamb.
- Wild Mushroom and Prosciutto - warm hearty meaty as expected
- Homemade Ricotta - sweet jam paired nicely with the ricotta cheese didn't expect it to be so good
- Avocado Spread - If you love avocado this is a joy, as it's loaded with avocado and mix of goodness
Small plates
Organic Salmon Crudo ($19)
- The ingredients were fresh and good
Kale Caeser ($15)
- Kale salad with parmesan and bits of meat.
Spicy Asian Tuna Tartare ($24) - I only remember trying a bit of this but it was okay
Crispy Chicken Sliders ($14) - 3 sliders each
Large Plates
Pan Seared Whole Branzino ($32) - a quite small dish and was nothing special
Grilled lamb chops ($38) - They can customize to give a bone per person at the table so you can each have one
New York Striploin and Truffle Fries ($52) - Perfectly cooked medium rare. Fries were fried in a special way so they remain crisp for longer periods of time. I don't think the truffle on top was necessary
Mushroom & Winter Truffle Pappardelle ($40) - I don't recall mushroom, the pasta was really good but also very small portion
Sides
Oven Baked Buttered Sweet Potato ($8) - I love sweet potatoes but this fell flat for me as it was cooked more al dente than I would like, I prefer my potatoes cooked more on the softer side. The seasoning also didn't bring out the sweet taste of the sweet potato.
Grilled asparagus ($12) - Very tiny portion, asparagus were so thin (less than 0.5cm) and only had 5-6 pieces.
Dessert
Tiramisu in a jar - It's okay but a little too sweet for my palette and I have a sweet tooth too
Lava cake with Ice cream - My favourite as it's not as sweet as you may think
Creme brulee - Always good and this is creamy and richer than the normal creme brulee. I would recommend
Sweet bread dessert with ice cream (don't remember what it's called) - I wouldn't recommend as it had a fried dough but wasn't as nearly as good as funnel cake.
