Sadly the food was not as good as I remember the last time I was there. The chicken and mango dish - the chicken was clearly old frozen chicken and it had zero salt and had no flavour; the Hokkaido scallops also lacked taste and was over cooked. Even the brinjal was not well cooked and so we did not finish it. Yes, your desserts and drinks were good and the duck pasta in lemak thankfully was tasty but really, something is up if we had issues with 3/4 of the dishes.

The ambience was great, nice scenery when looking out of the window. The food were great but the beef Wellington was not what I heard from the review. The beef didn't melt in my mouth and the pastry didn't have the "crunchy" effect. Overall the the dinning was great. Would come back for other food in the menu.

Prompt service and friendly staff. Special mention to staff from Esplanade, Mr Umar whom helped me a lot. Upon realising that I've booked at wrong location, he assisted in securing a place at Bussorah Street (my intended location.) He even forwarded me with the menu as well, to ensure that I'll get my food during iftar!

Food was great, unique and a full bodied experience for the mains, smoked duck pasta and fried rice but for starters, truffle fries, a complete disappointment for the price. Portion was good. Service wasnt attentive and the staffs were caught up doing their own things. In addition to that, when one of the staff was asking our opinion of the food, he could have atleast bent down slightly like most service staffs would do considering that he’s already very tall and we were seated so we were talking to his stomach… For the exorbitant price, it is expected to provide a certain degree of exceptional service. Atmosphere was alright, music choice not the best. Overall experience could have been better. They provided us complimentary desserts to dine in and an additional for take-out. A gesture we appreciated.

The food is more on a fusion kind which is not quite suitable for my taste bud as I expected an more authentic experience. However, the service from the staff is definitely commendable

Visited on Valentine's Day and restaurant was severely understaffed. They forgot about our beef wellington and we waited close to 45 mins for it, no apology was given. Will not recommend!

They have a great taste and portion. Only if the eggplant they can cut into small portions will be awesome. They did not disappoint us with free cakes when check out!

Food was pretty average.. my rice for my risotto was hard. Most of my guests did not even finish their food. And one of my guests waited so long for his food while some of us have ended our meal when his came.
