Came here for lunch to try this place out. I had always wanted to try it as it looked very pretty on the inside and I read it was much hyped to be extremely good.

Came here for lunch to try this place out. I had always wanted to try it as it looked very pretty on the inside and I read it was much hyped to be extremely good. Originally only open at night, I  found out that recently they started lunch service. So came to give it a try.

The place is very small but I was still able to get a table as it was only 50% full. The heat was on super high and I actually sat there sweating most of the time. Considering it wasn't really that cold outside, the intense heat was not that needed. I was presented with the lunch menu where by you can order an appetizer, main and coffee or tea for $168 (aka express lunch) or add a dessert for $198 (aka executive lunch). I opted for the express lunch as I wanted to have dessert elsewhere. Plus the dessert choices didn't look appealing to me.

 Bread was a mini baguette. It was warm, soft and chewy. Pretty good bread.

 For my appetizer, I chose a lobster bisque. It was infused with truffle oil. This was highly disppointing to me as the truffle flavor was way too strong and not only overwhelmed the flavor of the lobster, it made it nonexistent. Frustrating why people add truffle oil because it just ruins an otherwise fine dish. The soup was really hot which is good  but then the heat was on so high that I was dripping in sweat after finishing my soup.

 Pan seared guinea fowl with lentils, green pea puree and a thyme jus was my choice of main. The dish looked pretty. The guinea fowl was well cooked and very moist. The lentils were soft and had a chewy consistency. Almost like quinoa. The only disappointing thing was the green pea puree and thyme jus gave nothing to enhance the dish other than the make the plate look nice.

 It was a nice lunch but not great. I think I expected more considering it was advertised all over the media as something great. Portion size was fine so price was quite reasonable. Service was friendly with staff checking on you to make sure everything was ok. I'm unsure if I'd return again.
