Anyway, the service was great despite the restaurant being packed. The menu selections were abundant with individual meals, couple meals, dinner for 4, etc. My wife and I finally settled on 3-course dinner with coffee for $228. The good thing about "couple meal" is that there were 2 different appetizers and 2 different main courses, so we were able to sample a good variety of dishes.
Soup:
Spinach cream soup with Tuna: interesting with the cubed garlic bread dipped into it.
The appetizers:
Cesar Salad with Smoked Salmon: nice
Escargo, (snails): so-so, but the mashed potato tasted great with the juice from the snails.
Main Courses:
New Zealand fillet: The portion was too small
Angel-hair pasta with claim and mushroom: good portion and tasty, but we were getting full
Overall, I liked the restaurant for the following reasons:
1. The live music ambiance was nice.
2. They use cloth napkin, not paper, which was a pleasant surprise at this price range.
3. The water carafe was nice and the lemon wedge added a nice touch.
4. Plenty of choices in the menu.
5. The service was quick and nice.
6. We were there until almost 10:30pm, but no one "hinted" for us to leave.
The only drawback was its very limited wine selection, yet they charge $150 for corkage. If they cancel the corkage fee, I might be there a whole lot more!
