It was easy to book a reservation here and the ambience of the restaurant was quite nice. Everyone was friendly so far and the service from the busgirls/busboys were really good. The food was mostly made in-house, which was a nice touch.
Ordered bruschetta, calamari, lobster risotto, chicken alfredo fettuccine and the crème brûlée for the dessert.
The bruschetta was a big issue. As far as I know, the bread used for the bruschetta should be at least toasted but the bread was definitely not toasted and the tomato toppings did not taste good at all. I told the server and he told me that "this is the traditional way of making bruschetta", which was pure BS but whatever.
The calamari was savoury and flavourful but it was way too oily (oily to the point it made my partner puke).
I had mixed feelings about the lobster risotto. The risotto was cooked well with their homemade marinella sauce but the lobster was extremely salty.
For the chicken alfredo fettuccine, the pasta was cooked fine and the mushrooms were really fresh. However, the chicken was so overcooked that it was hard to chew on.
And finally, the crème brûlée was probably the best part of the meal. It was one of the better crème brûlées I had. Highly recommend this dessert but beware that this was $12. One pet peeve I had is that they don't give you a dessert menu to look at and instead, you have to listen to the waiter recite the desserts to you (which is not efficient at all).
Not sure if I would return here again.
