Expensive? Yup. Pretentious? You bet. Don't even bother showing up without a reservation? Correct.
But damn the food is good. The singapore slaw, their so called signature dish, is amazing but it was the caramelized black cod that won me over. The braised beef was excellent too, as was the jerk spiced pork ribs. My only complaint? Make the portions larger! But the food is so rich, you won't feel cheated but be prepared to pay up. Good food and great cocktails too.
