Order and wait time
We booked seats, but when we got there, there were only 1-2 tables occupied by customers. So no waiting would be required for walk-in either.
The food actually came out around 15 minutes or so, which was normal for most restaurants. The lobster bisque came first in the first 5 minutes I think. The drink came right after.

The place
To be fair, it's canteen-like BUT it has a very very wide seaview! So it's still worth a peek! It's actually a bit far from the centre since it abuts the waterfront, so you get the seaview. You just have to walk more (exercise more so you can eat more)~


The drink
Green Tea & Vegetable Smoothie

 Green Tea & Vegetable Smoothie ($70), I couldn't remember why I order this, but I probably won't order it again. It is healthy and may be liked by many others, but I guess it's just not my glass of tea... haha. But I still liked the dried pineapple slice, maybe as snack by itself would be great!

The soup
Lobster Bisque

 Lobster bisque ($78), "it tasted very much like a ready-made product available in the supermarket" quoted from my gf, but it still tastes fine since it's her favourite product! Just one star off for the price, ok maybe I just don't love lobster bisque enough. Still worth a try if you don't prepare your own bisques at home, u lazy.

The foods

 Crab cakes ($128), you get 3 of those moderately sized crab cakes, but there are salmon chips in it also! Or salmon like chips to add to the texture. So it sometimes tasted like crab cake and sometimes salmon or fishy. For people who absolutely don't like fish, you might want to try something else. But hey, salmons are healthy foods, maybe it's meant to give you a more balanced diet!

 Duck Confit ($188), my gf ordered this (I would normally won't order it myself), but my gf liked it very much, the meat was tender, the taste was fine, even the potatoes were fine! There was not difficulty to finish the dish and reduce them into bones only.

 Ribeye ($348), I ordered it so I could share with my gf (I actually wanted to try the lamb chop, but she's no fan for lambs. So as a selfless bf, I didn't) The meat was already cut into appropriate size for sharing, the carrots and potatoes tasted fine. Since my gf preferred medium well, it looks a bit overcooked for some people, but I am sure the cook can finetune it to your liking.

Did I get a stomach-ache?
No worries, the cutlery and dishes were clean or even spotless, food was fine and well cooked.

Would I recommend this to others?
Of coz! The service was great, the seaview was open, maybe a bit over priced for what we order, but there are many other options in their menu. And after I weighed in all the factors, I think it's still worth a shot.. or two.
