This place was incidentally discovered by me and my bf on the eve of Christmas day when we were randomly scrolling around Knutsford Terrace trying to find a place for drinks. Finally tonight, to celebrate our two good friends’ birthday, we decided to give it a try and booked a day in advance to avoid any last minute walking in on a Friday evening. Quite different from the feeling when you enter certain really high spending restaurants where they are poshly decorated and that all waiters are in t
The bread basket that came wasn’t bad and as I am a butter freak I immediately smothered the whole rose-shaped black truffle butter on the small piece of bread I picked and it tasted like heaven (mostly because of the butter)! Anyways, I only ate that one small piece as I kept consciously reminding myself that I had to save space for the proper food ahead! And here we go… We ordered two pastas: white truffle and another red shrimp in tomato paste. The manager sliced and sprinkled the white truffle pieces in white gloves in front of us so that we know it’s fresh. Both pastas were excellent I must say and the sauces and seasonings were just about right. For meat, we had grilled scampi (tastes really fresh and sweet and not a bit overcooked), grilled beef tenderloin (quite nice and juicy) and a fiorentina t-bone steak (also quite juicy although I prefer the texture of the tenderloin over it). We also ordered a bottle of red wine as recommended by the manager, price slightly below 400 which we reckon in any event cheaper than each of us getting a glass of house wine. Lastly, as we didn’t take with us any birthday cake, one of my friends privately asked the manager if it’s possible to order a mini cake or even a piece of cake with candle lit but the manager told us that they do not really serve traditional birthday cakes and rather proposed that he ask if the chef could make us a small birthday dessert platter which we agreed. Although we were so stuffed by the time the dessert platter arrived and thus aint now really in a position to judge the quality of the desserts, we did appreciate the thoughtfulness of the manager/chef who made a great night of celebration for my two birthday friends =)
