| - My boyfriend took me here for our Valentine's day dinner. We each tried their Valentine's day 4 course set meal ($55 per person, or $85 with wine pairings).
First course was the option between the Sweet Hearty soup, or a salmon gravlax. The sweet hearty soup was really good though! It was really rich in flavor. Essentially it was a creamy leek soup, topped with fried veggie tempura shreds which went really well with the soup adding a nice crunch.
Second course was a Piquillo and egg pappardelle. Essentially it was a piquillo pepper stuffed with large flat pasta noodles inside, topped with some ricotta cheese and sliced chili peppers. This dish was quite interesting as I've never had anything like this before. Lacked a bit of flavor in my opinion and really relied on the chili pepper for the flavoring.
Third course was either the filet of beef or the duo of salmon and scallop. The filet of beef was cooked standard medium rare, came with truffled mash and Chinese broccoli. The beef meat wasn't as tender as I expected it to be so that was slightly disappointing, and I wished they gave me an actual steak knife. The duo salmon and scallop actually tasted better than the beef in my opinion. I was a little disappointed that they only served one scallop, and the size was fairly small hidden under the salmon. The salmon was cooked just right though which was impressive and well-seasoned. One of the sides was really interesting. It looked like fries, but when you bite into it it's like a mashed potato texture, super soft and mushy - really tasty.
Forth course was dessert, which we got one of each. Raspberry baked Alaska for two, and the chocolate fondant strawberry mouse. Both desserts were not much of my liking. Both desserts came with sorbet which was way too sour for a dessert in my opinion, and I don't mind sourness.
We also ordered a lobster risotto from their a la carte menu which was definitely no mistake!
Lobster Risotto ($17 for appetizer size)
This risotto was bomb! There was a lot of lobster meat, which I was surprised since it was just the appetizer size. Can't imagine how much more lobster meat the main size would have. The risotto was drenched in the sauce which tasted like lobster bisque. It might not be the best looking risotto, but it was really tasty!!
Overall my dining experience was great. I loved dining at the terrace, the atmosphere was great and felt very romantic.
Service was great. Our waitress was really friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. One thing that slightly bugged me was one of the male server did not explain the dish to us as he plated it on the table; the thing is, the female server did, so for him to come with her but not explain the dish slightly irked me.
