Finally tried this newly opened resto by octavo group. I have heard lots mixed reviews, so I had lower my expectations, turns out I think it was ok.. there were hits and misses, but at least not as bad as some reviews had mentioned. We ordered Tuna focaccia sando, red prawns linguine, grilled octopus salad, and dessert apple tart and tiramisu. First of all, I was impressed by the complimentary bread, it was served warm, taste good and soft, and the olive oil taste great too. the tuna sando, The

We ordered Tuna focaccia sando, red prawns linguine, grilled octopus salad, and dessert apple tart and tiramisu.
First of all, I was impressed by the complimentary bread, it was served warm, taste good and soft, and the olive oil taste great too.
the tuna sando, The look of the sando was really tempting, but it was not as good as it seems, it was not bad, but not like “wow” as I thought it would be.
red prawn linguine, saw some quite opposite comments… well, I liked the prawn’s semi-sashimi texture a lot, so fresh and tasty, the red prawn pasta sauce was full of umami too, but the downside was the linguine was undercooked, not al dente.. is literally crunchy and hard in some point .. it would be great if it was perfectly cooked al dente..
and it was served in two separate plates as we were sharing, so nice of them, but I prefer they serve it in one plate so I could take nicer photos 😂
octopus salad .. nothing special ..
No need to order ..
The desserts - tiramisu was pretty good, delicious and authentic .. but the apple tart was such a disappointment. It doesn’t look or taste like a tart and I couldn’t find any apple 😂 don’t bother to order this one..
Overall, I think everything was just average and pricy.. if I didn’t lower my expectations, I would be disappointed for sure. I can see why there were lots negative reviews, as ppl would expect more from octavo group and the name of chef Roland Schiller.. and in terms of the price, there are lots other alternatives in the area. (Love their interior decor and the beautiful cutleries though, and the service was not bad on the day I went.) I think they could do better, just need to ensure consistent quality.
