Please see previous review for appetizer/appetizer-buffet.At 3pm and after multiple servings of salads + hovering/waiting for salads to replenish + asking multiple times for our main dishes, it finally came!I ordered the sea bream (+$70). Not worth it. Dry and rough.The green pea puree was surprising tho.On top of the fish was salty cabbage.very unexciting/unappealing.seafood risotto (+$70). Not totally worth it, but better than the sea bream. The chinese style one from a store in MK tasted bett
At 3pm and after multiple servings of salads + hovering/waiting for salads to replenish + asking multiple times for our main dishes, it finally came! I ordered the sea bream (+$70). Not worth it. Dry and rough.
The green pea puree was surprising tho.
On top of the fish was salty cabbage. very unexciting/unappealing. seafood risotto (+$70). Not totally worth it, but better than the sea bream. The chinese style one from a store in MK tasted better than this one. This one is creamier and cheesier, but no other taste to it. It didn't arouse the palette. complimentary side because the chef was a nice person.
the mussels were actually more appetizing than the salad buffet and the main dishes.
weird eh? chamomile dessert: air-misu x2!
from the menu: whipped mascapone / “lady finger” biscuit / Borghetti coffee liquor the head shot. it lives up to its name! light and air-y, fluffy, ice cream on top, 2 or 3 pieces of lady fingers.
lady fingers had fully absorbed strong coffee liquor taste =D
could use more lady fingers though.
It looks big, but because its all air-y/fluffy/puffy, its not overwhelming.
best surprise all day!
The verdict:
most worthwhile was the ambience. food was so-so.. (except the air-misu)
heard the chef behind the kitchen always call "service!! .... service!!" to get servers to come to pick up the dishes and bring it to the tables.
servers skated the floor like loose chicken, i didn't get the feeling i was really taken care of. there were roughly around 10 here and there that pop up their face on the floor, but when you wanted to find one, only one or two was to be seen to catch their attention.
When I asked for my main dish like 4 times, each reply was "I'll get back to you"/"Let me check"/"It's coming"... is it really coming?! =(
servings of salad and oysters were insufficient. oysters ran out/stopped serving around 3pm.
There were about 10+ tables, totally about 30 customers for teh 2-4pm timeframe and considering its not the very chinese style type where you have to gang up at the the buffet table to fight for food, we still have to hover around to see when the salads/oysters replenished..
loved the atmosphere, the music, the setup, the tables/chairs, location..
loved the hardware! software has lots of room for improvement.
