Loving it.

Setting - appropriately lit not too bright nor too dim. Generously spacious with only 12 tables of different sizes spread out. Good ambience.

Food - superb food from start to finish. Hadn't been led down by a single dish.
- Amuse bouche: Russian potatoes salad. Mushy potatoes salad on a crispy cracker. Nice start to a delightful dinner.
- 36 months Bellota ham: good aroma, complex on the palate. Tender pieces of goodness.
- Grilled XL scallops on celeriac purée and greens: great orchestral coordination among the ingredients. I especially liked the smokey taste of the celeriac purée coupled with a bit of spiciness with chilli added.
-63c slow cooked egg: the aroma of the black truffle was attacking my nose at this distance when I was taking the pic. We enjoyed the dish by scooping the combination of the flowing egg yolk, black truffle and cauliflower foam with the crispy bruschetta. Divine.
-Red prawns: perfectly cooked with a hint of spiciness in the sauce. Thank them for the bread that comes with it so we could lick the plate clean.
-Calamari tagliatelle: a refreshing unconventional dish. Calamari is made into curly pieces resembling tagliatelle. Combined with strings of leek, celery and zucchini in a sherry base sauce, was just nice to give our palates a break from the stronger taste of the red prawns served previously.
-Pork ribs and red prawn paella: sizzling hot served in a pan. Just rightly done like how paella should be. Tasty.
- Dessert - banana and dark rum tarte tatin: crispy with distinct taste of banana but I couldn't taste any rum.

Beverages - they offer a decent wine list with choices ranging from the basic Rioja to the more exquisite Ribera del Duero. We ordered respectively 1 white and 1 red by-the-glass wines, respectively a Rueda and a Rioja, each to pair with the various dishes as they were served, and each went really well with the respective dishes that they should pair with.

Service - great service. Staff was attentive and food came on a well paced rhythm allowing sufficient time between each dish for us to fully appreciate every single one of them.

Price - $1,000 per head including 2 glasses of wine is a good deal for a good and leisure dinner.
