I arrived the restaurant much earlier than the booking time, and their restaurant manager still nicely allowed me to get in.
The restaurant is quite spacious, with a nice outdoor area, giving me a relaxing ambiance.
All of their dishes are made from the Watermark kitchen which is downstairs.
Their carving station changes daily which Monday is for Roasted Sirloin.
I tried their appetisers first then the lunch carvings and accompaniments (pilaf and veggies).
Appetisers:
Potato soup - Texture is not thick but definitely worth to try under cool weather
Salads: 1) Quinoa & Kale salad with feta cheese, cranberries & apricots pieces 2) Beetroot salad with grapes, radish and walnut pieces 3) DIY salad leaves
Ingredients were fresh and tasted quite good, slightly disappointing that they did not provide any balsamic vinegar for the dressing.
Spiced flatbreads - A bit chewy and I enjoyed the cumin spices on top
Smoked salmon - So so, tasted a bit bland but still could taste the smokey flavour, good to eat with the capers to add some savoury taste
Main
Roasted sirloin - Average. Outside was crispy but inside was still tender (but not juicy). Meaty taste was not that rich.
Roasted salmon fillet - I was fortunate to try another roasting item as their sirloin was out of stock later. The fillet was topped with cumins and texture was just right. Flavour was normal.
Accompaniments
Roasted potatoes - So so
Assorted mushrooms pilaf in cream sauce - Quite special to me as it was made with barleys with a number of mushrooms in it. Tastes normal.
Ratatouille - Having different vegetables with Mediterranean spices, taste was quite similar to the flatbread due to the seasoning.
Price includes one cup of hot/cold tea or coffee that I ordered a hot coffee. Unexpectedly the coffee was not bad, and the restaurant was very thoughtful to serve warm milk to serve with it.
Overall I would say the food quality was average, but truly enjoyed this lunch because the services were excellent. Their restaurant manager Chris, and the servers were warm and kept observing the tables to see what they could do for the guests,
1) They proactively poured the soup for guests and checked if they needed any black pepper
2) They proactively collected empty dishes from guests’ tables
3) They would ask guests if they needed any milk in their coffee (Cold coffee with cold milk and hot ones with warm milk!)
This place is definitely a nice venue for friends gathering, especially for birthday celebrations as they will provide birthday dessert and sing to the guests with music.
I will visit there again in the short future.
