Finally dine at the famous Louise which has been on our wish list for quite a long while.Overall an enjoyable experience with fresh ingredients to create the food, but we would've expect more for such a renowned restaurant.

Overall an enjoyable experience with fresh ingredients to create the food, but we would've expect more for such a renowned restaurant. Each dish seems to be almost there but than something is missing so it's not there yet, lacking the WOW factor. For example the sour dough has crispy crust and good flavor but the middle part has tiny too much moisture so the texture minus a point. The sauce for my mackerel appetizer is beautiful with lots if layers, sweet and fresh at first than the spice kick in to elevate the taste but the mackerel fish meat itself could be more tender. My main dish is also a fish, the side is cooked perfectly, but the pan seared fish skin is not crispy and fish meat tasted a bit flat. Our other main is a lamb dish, the sauce is too salty for us so we kind of have to just eat the lamb meat by itself without sauce The lamb meat is cooked well and tender, other than this nothing too special about the dish. The dessert is average, I thought the pear sauce inside the caramel shell would bring some freshness to balance the caramel, give it some extra layers of flavor...but it actually didn't, the pear sauce is very thick and sweet plus the sweet caramel so all together it's just a regular sweet dessert. And a side story, the mains took some time to arrive while the sommelier already poured my main dish pairing white immediately after we finished the appetizer, so my white wine warmed up when the mains were finally here, I ended up having to ask for a new glass. Maybe the timing of pouring could be improved. Somehow right at the start throughout the meal, I felt like the they are rushing and hurrying us to finish the food and drinks, or maybe I felt it wrong.
