Decided to try lunch with a couple of friends. They offer a 3 course lunch at $420 (plus 10%service charge). We ordered : Starters : Tomato gazpacho with alaskan crab ceviche and light zucchini mousse Beef consomme with oxtail ravioli and tonga bean aroma Tuna Carpaccio with Provencal vegetables and aged parmesan **The tomato gazpacho was probably the best out of the three. It had an interesting textural mix and the flavours matched well. The other 2 were not bad but were nothing out of ordi
Starters :

Beef consomme with oxtail ravioli and tonga bean aroma
Tuna Carpaccio with Provencal vegetables and aged parmesan
**The tomato gazpacho was probably the best out of the three. It had an interesting textural mix and the flavours matched well. The other 2 were not bad but were nothing out of ordinary.
Mains:
Japanese Scallops with Fondant Leeks and Marine Snails in Seaweed Butter Sauce
Free range Chicken Marengo with Charlotte Potato Fricassee
Australian Beef Flank with Green Asparagus and Parma Ham, crushed artichoke in black pepper sauce (didn't look very appealing, so photo is not up)
**
Desserts:
Dark Chocolate tart with roasted pecan nuts and cappucino ice cream
Poached apricot millefeuille with sicilian pistachio and yoghurt sorbet
Dried Fruit Nougat with fresh figs and rasberry sorbet
** Overall it was an enjoyable meal, more because of the relaxed (yet elegant) atmosphere than the actual food. Food was not particularly impressive that day but not bad enough to spoil the experience as a whole. Very nice sea view too!
