Came here on a sunday evening and it was only half full. Restaurant was decorated with vintage-style tables, chairs, couches, cushions etc. The decor was great, but the food was expensive and disappointing. To be honest, even if these dishes costed under $50-100, I would not come here again. Clam Cream Soup with Bread (included in set)Lots of clam meat in the soup and the clam flavour was well blended into the taste of the soup. However, it was slightly fishy.

Clam Cream Soup with Bread (included in set)
Lots of clam meat in the soup and the clam flavour was well blended into the taste of the soup. However, it was slightly fishy. Bread was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Caeser Salad with Smoked Salmon and Parma Ham Dinner Set $17X
Consisted of mostly lettuce. There was only one slice of salmon and one slice of parma ham. Smoked salmon was average but parma ham was dry and extremely salty, to the point that the ham could barely be tasted. Croutons were huge chunks of unseasoned bread. Overall, VERY expensive for both quantity and quality. Squid Ink Spaghetti with Prawns $13X (+$28 to turn into set)
Although I thought that this would be cooked in squid-ink sauce, it was actually cooked in a tomato-based sauce and the flavour was very heavy in basil. Spaghetti had no squid ink flavour to it at all. At one point, I thought I could taste a lard flavour in the dish too. Prawns were alright, quite crunchy. Drinks
All the sets came with soup+bread (above) as well as a drink (tea or coffee). Cold drinks (including iced tea) were an extra $4 - is this really necessary at such a 'posh' restaurant? The waitress took our orders for three drinks, including two that were for less ice. Afterwards, another waitress came with our drinks and asked us if we had ordered all three with less ice. It wasn't that difficult of an order to make
