It becomes a norm that it doesn't matter which restaurant you go, the corkage fee is roughly from $350-500 (except the top tier restaurant). We still believe it makes sense to bring our own wine for a fine dining, key is to bring a med-high price one to even out the corkage fee. The most interesting part of this Steak tartare was the combination of truffle egg yolk with the tartare.

The most interesting part of this Steak tartare was the combination of truffle egg yolk with the tartare. However, the seasoning of the steak tartare wasn’t strong that the egg yolk just diluted the taste further. It’s a strong comparison to the main dish of wagyu beef we have chosen.
Caprese salad, Cocotte style, mozzarella di buttatinaMy friend loved this salad coz she’s a big fan of the mozzarella di buttatina while I enjoyed the fruits and tomatoes the most. If they can add more green into the salad, I am sure it will taste even better.
Wagyu beef bavette steak, my friend & I nagged about too much food being ordered since the steak tartare & the bread loaf were quite filling. We were having too many fine dining meals in the last couple of weeks that the “diminishing marginal return” kicked in! Thanks to Cocotte, the beef steak was amazing, cooking, saucing, seasoning all came in balance. The beef taste just savored in your mouth, a long finishing just like the wine. We highly recommend diners to try this dish, good thing is that the portion isn’t big and just perfect for 2 people to share (if you are not a meat lover or doesn’t have a big appetite).
The carmelized apple dessert wasn't so-so...which could be skipped...no further comment to be added.
Other Info. :
The tables inside this small restaurant are very packed & tiny, we could barely fit all the dishes on the table and beware not to knock anything over which will probably hit hte table next to you.
