This is another one of those newly opened chic eateries trying to do a modern twist on traditional cuisine. Sometimes it works. Sometimes. Environment:A long, rather narrow dining room, open kitchen, half-filled with high tables (uncomfortable seating). There are a couple seats directly facing Aberdeen St and it is rather unpleasant becuase of the noise. We sat close to the entrance as well so..it was rather distractingly noisy. There's a long table at the back of the room, right next to the loo
Environment:
A long, rather narrow dining room, open kitchen, half-filled with high tables (uncomfortable seating). There are a couple seats directly facing Aberdeen St and it is rather unpleasant becuase of the noise. We sat close to the entrance as well so..it was rather distractingly noisy. There's a long table at the back of the room, right next to the loo. Not very pleasant either and extremely packed. All in all not a particularly comfortable space. Would probably want to leave after all the food is cleared from the table - not good for long deep conversations.
Service:
Below par. Water refills weren't timely. Although the waiters were polite, they weren't particularly helpful.
Food:
The main problem with the food...is that there isn't much variety. The menu is a one-page affair with some variations on basic staples...disappointingly homogeneous!

Conclusion:
Perhaps we should've tried the kimchi disco fries or the carbonara rice cakes, which seem to be the more popular items here. However, I am not minded to return. So we'll leave it at that. Also, the four of us left feeling extremely unsatisfied and basically ended up at another resto.
Perhaps it would be better to come solely for the speciality items - and fill yourself up with a bowl of fishball noodles prior to or after the visit.
