Dined here with 3 friends on a Saturday night. The place is a bit packed yet not noisy, so it's pretty good for small groups' conversation and candlelight meals.There were 4 types of oysters to choose from for the night. We picked 2pcs from Scotland and 4pcs from France. They were in medium size, tasted very fresh and you probably don't need any cocktail sauce. The French one tasted exceptionally sweet and so we ordered another 6pcs.The flesh was cooked just right, quite soft and tasted fresh. O
There were 4 types of oysters to choose from for the night. We picked 2pcs from Scotland and 4pcs from France. They were in medium size, tasted very fresh and you probably don't need any cocktail sauce. The French one tasted exceptionally sweet and so we ordered another 6pcs.
The flesh was cooked just right, quite soft and tasted fresh. Olive oil and basil had been used as seasoning instead of butter, which impressed me because I am a fan of pesto. Proper utensils as for fine dining were provided to enjoy the dish.
It was good enough for us 4 to share 250g of mussels. A smaller portion is 125g. The blue mussels tasted fresh but were rather small in size. The highlight of the dish was the garlicky aroma and well balanced taste created by the chef using different kinds of herbs. The soup was also very tasty, could be simply fish broth and white wine. Recommend.
I didn't try the foie gras. Comments from friends were positive. It was of a good quality and nicely done to deliver the original aroma and flavor.
The sauce was too think and not smooth. Pasta was cooked to el dente.
The long dinner was chilling, we arrived at 7pm and left at 11 after finishing 2 bottles of wine and some beers.
Other Info. :
service was fine and there was no cut cake charge; the wines are expensive in terms of the quality and we wished the staff had poured our wine slower!
