Reserved a table for 2 for lunch on a week day. It was not so full even on a week day so that walk-in was also fine if you are not in a big group.There were quite a lot of choices from their lunch menu.A bread basket with butter was served shortly after we were seated. The bread seemed to be freshly baked and was kept pretty warm. They had very crispy crust and soft interior which were really great.

A bread basket with butter was served shortly after we were seated. The bread seemed to be freshly baked and was kept pretty warm. They had very crispy crust and soft interior which were really great. The only complaint was that there were only 2 pieces of bread of different kinds which was so not generous and a bit hard to share.

The presentation was pretty pleasant. I was a bit surprised that avocado and baby spinach were also served, which were both very fresh. The tuna tartare was quite good, slightly spicy which was quite appetizing. The egg yolk of the 63 degrees egg could have been softer though. The focaccia was very crispy and yummy! It was overall quite a good starter.

The beef carpaccio was equally good. The texture of the beef carpaccio was quite nice, not too rough. I particularly liked the truffle mayonnaise and the cheese which added a lot of flavour to the relatively dry beef carpaccio. The rocket was fresh too. Again, it was quite a good starter overall.

We asked for more bread, although service was quite slow so we had to ask 3 times for the bread basket to come again. I was surprised that a French baguette was served this time. The bread was freshly baked, which probably explained why it took a while for them to come.

We added $70+10% for a smoothie each. This mixed berry smoothie looked and tasted good. I think it was even better than the honey passion fruit smoothie which follows because this was sweeter.

This honey passion fruit smoothie was slightly more plain and I couldn't taste much honey in the drink.

The portion of the striploin looked so big! We asked for medium rare striploin. However, it seemed that it was medium instead of medium rare. The striploin was quite disappointing as it lacked strong beef flavour. Texture-wise, it wasn't so tender either. It was also quite inconsiderate for the sweet corn to be served like this which was so hard to eat. The mushrooms and artichoke puree were ok but couldn't save this dish. At a price of $298+10%, I had expected much better striploin.

This one was better as the mussels were pretty fresh and tender. Portion of the mussels seemed to be quite a lot too. The herbed white wine cream was ok. Overall, it still couldn't beat the really superb mussels @ Belgium Frites on Tap. I would love to give this dish a rating higher than 3 but the frites were so bad that they were even worse than those served at McDonald's - they were way too stiff...The garlic cheese toast was quite good.

A daily dessert came with the lunch set and it was Tiramisu for the day. The Tiramisu was so tiny but what should you expect from a complimentary dessert? It was very strong in coffee of which I wasn't a big fan of. It was a bit dry and the cream on the side did help a bit.

Coffee or tea was included in the lunch set. We just ordered the very standard iced lemon tea and hot lemon water which were nothing special.
Overall, the bread and starters were surprisingly good but the striploin and the frites were surprisingly disappointing. At such a price, I would expect even better food quality. Service was just standard. Location was definitely great but there were much better choices just a bit farther out there at such a price.
