★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆Quinoa with avocado mousse wrapped in eggplant mixed salad:
The salad was good especially the greens because the salt in it made it tasty.As for the eggplant, they had a smokey charred taste and aroma.

Cream of morel mushrooms soup with fresh cream:
Wine: Casa Lapostolle Chardonnay 2011
The soup was good but I found it a bit too creamy.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Risotto with shrimps & Saffron topped with caviar
Wine: Casa Mentelle Sauvignon blanc semillon
The risotto was nicely done because the grains of rice were al-dente covered in rich creamy sauce which was balanced by the saltiness of the caviar.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Slow cooked beef wagyu cheek
With herbs and white wine , mash, veg
Wine: Chateau gemeillan medoc cru bourgeois 2011
The beef cheek was a bit dry for my liking and not gelatinous.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆Granny apple & rum raisin crumble with vanilla sauce
Wine: bottega prosecco DOC NV
For dessert, we finished with this apple crumble which was jazzed up by rum.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
