Lubuds’ latest effort in fine dining.Hall with 5 tables and 3 private rooms. Seated right by the window. Dinner- 2 menus to choose from: 6 Courses ($1180) or 8 Courses ($1580). Went for the latter. Wine list not bad. Went for a glass of burgundy white. Here’s what we had. Bread with a choice of 5 types of olive oil: from Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany etc. Bread was very well made. Antipasti trio: Ocean trout, anchovy cracker, potato croquette with cheese. Used my fingers and had to wash my hands sin

Antipasti trio: Ocean trout, anchovy cracker, potato croquette with cheese. Used my fingers and had to wash my hands since the hot cheese exploded.

Spaghetti with guanciale (cured meat from the pig’s jowl) and pecorino (rich hard cheese from sheep's milk). Gotta say 2 consecutive spaghetti dishes in one row with the same plating seemed a bit redundant.

Pigeon from Loire- breast was panfried; thigh in a croquette; liver on tart; with pigeon jus and truffle from Spain. Breast tasted very dry- the most disappointing dish of the nite (in fact, many nights).

Brioche saturated with dark rum, filled with orange lemon zest and topped with chantilly cream. Quite a big portion. Not a fan of alcohol-infused desserts- couldn’t finish.

In summary: didn’t really like the menu layout- a bit pasta-heavy. Some might be disappointed that the lobster and langoustine were only offered in small pieces. Window seating was a bit awkward as passersby kept staring at you- def not for those who’d rather not be seen.
