A group of 5 of us came in here after a work event while travelling. We saw the pictures of the dishes online and it definitely stuck us as creative and delicious food. I will say, that the eye appeal of everything during this experience was great. The atmosphere of the restaurant, the glassware, the silverware and even the wine decanters were beautiful. The dishes that came out, were also designed beautifully. If this were an art show, I'd have given a higher rating but unfortunately good looks from your restaurant and food only get you so far in my book...you need your food to be on point.
Since we got many dishes, I won't go over them in too many details but will point at the standouts/fails.
The Bibimbop for example was a MEGA fail. Presentation wise it was great as I mentioned above, but the beef was a pure let down. If anyone has ever had bibimbop, you'd know that beef in it is Bulgogi which is a thin cut sauteed beef in a korean type sauce. They basically grilled some steak and put it in there. Ugh.
The Katshu dish, was breaded pork belly and it was so badly over cooked that my colleague who ordered it didn't even finish the dish. He let me try a slice and it was awful.
I had the pork belly stuffed ravioli. While the sauce they used was really good and the raviolis were cooked well...the "pork belly" stuffing was ground up pork...it lost all flavor whatsoever....it could have been any type of meat for all I knew. Very disappointing.
For an appetizer, I had their "steak tartar", and it was tartar spread over what seemed to be wonder bread....the tartar could have been good for all I know..but it was nearly impossible to tell with the overwhelming white bread that drew away from the thin layer of tartar. HUGE miss here.
I did enjoy one of their appetizers however. The pork belly Bao was good. It actually had a well cooked pork belly slice in a nice soft chewy bao.
I would honestly never come here again...it was a huge miss for being so expensive and pretentious.
