Comments looked pretty good on openrice with quite a number of signature dishes. I had reserved a table for 2 a few days ago via openrice, with quite some expectations.On the day of our visit, it was pretty full. We were sent to 1/F (I didn't know there were 2 floors for this restaurant). The first impression was quite bad, as the waiter (the only waiter) wore a black face all the time. The waiter showed us to a table so close to the wall that we had to move the table out ourselves to get seated

The first impression was quite bad, as the waiter (the only waiter) wore a black face all the time. The waiter showed us to a table so close to the wall that we had to move the table out ourselves to get seated. We also asked the waiter something about the menu but he didn't really give any answers. We asked for serving us the fries without salt but it was discouraged as he said it was going to take very long.
Anyway, here you go the lunch menu.
We ordered 2 sets with a starter + main + drink + dessert with something different to try.

We asked the waiter what this soup was about before our orders and there was no response. I chose this over the soup of the day which was carrot soup anyway. The soup itself was ok, being rich in beef flavour with some vegetables. There were quite a lot of 薏米. Quite good as something complimentary.

The waiter first brought me the carrot soup which wasn't my order. But he didn't take too long to serve me the Green Salad. It was reasonably fresh. A pass.

We decided to try this pink lemonade when we saw that it was actually mixed berry lemonade (we found it from the menu rather than asking the waiter). It tasted ok and it was not too sweet at all, sufficient to balance the fries and the sandwich.

Here you go one of the signatures with nice comments by so many people on openrice. The portion looked so small to be justified by the cost of $208+10% honestly! The sea urchin was fresh and delicious and big! I think I had hardly seen sea urchin as big as this. But that was it. It seemed that the sauce of the carbonara wasn't from sea urchin but just seafood. The pasta itself was ok, al dente but there was too much black pepper. There seemed to be some crispy bacon all over too. Overall it was tasty but seemed overpriced.

We asked the waiter what the soup was for, we were coldly told that it was for the sandwich what an answer.
Disregarding the service, this one was really great! The ciabatta bread was so crispy, maybe one of the best I had ever had! The USDA prime rib was great, cooked pretty good being tender and juicy! With the extra crispy onion and Raclette cheese the whole thing was juicy enough. I suspected that it could have been too dry without these extras. Maybe which was why the soup was there for dipping. The soup was from beef broth and was ok too. The crispy onions were plentiful and tasty. The Raclette Cheese was delicious and not too salty as at 5019 Premium Factory last time. I could taste some mild portion of mustard in the sandwich. If there were more custard, it could have been even better. Definitely one of the best sandwiches I had never had!

The meal was for celebration. It was really appreciated they did decorate the plate for us as requested - thanks to the chef. However, the cheesecake was very so-so. The cheese was thick and hard. The tart base was thick and hard and not crunchy at all. But given the top-up cost of $45+10%, it was ok.

This one was much better. The apple crumble was super hot with a lot of apples. The crumbles on top were also great. The vanilla ice cream went well with the crumbles. But the waiter just gave us one spoon each which was very hard to finish the desserts yet we dare not ask for a fork anymore....
Overall, the signature Prime Rib sandwich was really great! A must-try dish indeed. The apple crumble with vanilla ice cream was pretty good too. I would say most of the cost of the meal went to the food itself rather than the service, environment or seating. Despite the quality of the food, I am doubtful that I would come back given the very unwelcoming service as there are so many other good choices in the same district at this price.
