This place promises far more than it delivers. On a Thursday night it was half empty, and I fear that if they don't pull their socks up soon, by this time next year, the restaurant will have ceased to exist. First let me say, I was in the same party as the reviewer below.
Good things-service, was pleasant and helpful. However, they had to be, in order the explain the rather pretentious and silly way the menu was set out. How about an explanation of the dish, rather than a short title, and a random list of perhaps 2 or 3 ingredients.
Menu-see above. They had run out of mozzarella for one of the salad starters.
Price-outrageous! $98 for 3 courses whether you wanted them or not, plus a compulsory 18% service charge and even then most dishes came with with supplements. No dish other than the kobe beef was individually priced. I have an understanding of the cost of ingredients, and reckon the markup on most was around 600%. The white bean soup was very nice. Doubt the ingredients cost more than $2.
Food-good but not "wow", mini portions for my fellow diners.My lamb was cooked well, but the delicate taste was totally dominated by the sauce. My dessert (in menu described as"Custard"-included a mini creme brulee and a couple of other bits)-very tasty.
I enjoyed my meal, but not the sense that I had been fleeced.
Would I go again? If they halve the price, serve decent sized portions, and cut out the pretention...
