I had the groupon for a set lunch at $60.Starting with the interior... the mix of french and japanese seemed let down by the cheap-looking pinewood and mismatch curtains... the place felt like it didn't have enough design or character to be charming, but wasn't fancy enough to be fancy. I know this may seem unimportant to most, but I just mention it in case you consider this place for a date or similar; the lighting is appropriately dimmed, but overall I would not recommend it.The service was a
Starting with the interior... the mix of french and japanese seemed let down by the cheap-looking pinewood and mismatch curtains... the place felt like it didn't have enough design or character to be charming, but wasn't fancy enough to be fancy. I know this may seem unimportant to most, but I just mention it in case you consider this place for a date or similar; the lighting is appropriately dimmed, but overall I would not recommend it.
The service was a bit perfunctory; maybe it was the groupon effect, but it felt a bit rushed, and unfriendly - the wait-staff all unsmiling and mostly not bothering to look at you. Nothing bad, but not great.
The starter was a pumpkin soup: it was thick and creamy. Quite heavy, but if you like thick soup then this fits.
The caesar salad was mostly lettuce, with a few croutons and bacon bits. Its main problem was the dressing; it was too heavy, and had an artificial taste.
Main course was the sirloin steak. At first bite, I thought it made up for everything else (including the small side-serving of fries/veggies); it was served rare, tender and juicy. But the more I ate, the more I could taste the salt. It was overly-salted, which was a shame, as it was almost excellent.
Desert was a white chocolate mousse, which was light and fluffy, if a little bland.
Overall, it was okay with the voucher, but if I had paid >$100 for this, I would've felt dissatisfied.
