First impressions are very important. In Twyst, our first impressions was that it is an intimate, quiet restaurant for a satisfying meal. I would say in this case, we were disappointed. Reading the menu alone, the food indeed looked well-dressed and fancy (foie gras, lobster bisque, chilean seabass). When it arrived, it also looked very well-presented and sophisticated.

I would say in this case, we were disappointed. Reading the menu alone, the food indeed looked well-dressed and fancy (foie gras, lobster bisque, chilean seabass). When it arrived, it also looked very well-presented and sophisticated. However, the taste of the food is a letdown. Lobster bisque had a blunt bitter taste and lacks aroma. The cream sauce on the seabass and indian king prawn completely masked the natural flavors of the food. I did think the dessert - pannacotta and the foie gras were quite passable but nothing special. If I had to pick the best dish of the whole course, it had to be the pannacotta. To cut the story short, it felt like dating a girl who puts on impeccable makeup and a very nice dress but when she talkes, you immediately know she is a total hick.
Service is very unenthused with wait staff completely unable to answer many questions about the food but are trying to make up something even though they don't know what your question means. They also served the wrong food to our table at least 2 times.
No wow factor. Try at your own risk.
