I found this restaurant overall quite disappointing. After reading some good reviews, I went with my family to try it out.The seating & the ambiance were nice & comfy. The restaurant itself was inviting. We had several starters to share. House Smoked ‘Kinboshi Sagabuta’ Pork-Belly (Slow cooked 4 hours, lightly pan seared)This was well prepared.Cornflake-Crusted Hokkaido Scallops (Chorizo, sweet & sour onions, grilled corn puree)These were amazingly mouth-watering.Opus 5 Elements Prawn Cocktail (

We had several starters to share.
House Smoked ‘Kinboshi Sagabuta’ Pork-Belly (Slow cooked 4 hours, lightly pan seared)
This was well prepared.
Cornflake-Crusted Hokkaido Scallops (Chorizo, sweet & sour onions, grilled corn puree)
These were amazingly mouth-watering.
Opus 5 Elements Prawn Cocktail (Poached in five different stocks, with 5 sauces and 5 seasonings)
The Shrimp cocktail had an incredible range of sauces to accompany it, but the prawns themselves did not taste very fresh.
The Brutus Salad (Spanish anchovies, roasted garlic, burrata, grilled bread)
Surprisingly the salad was not that memorable.
Steamed Dungeness ‘Crabcake’ (Old bay spiced avocado, crispy fried mayonnaise)
The crab did not taste fresh & had a fishy smell to it. Upon asking the Staff about it - we were informed that all seafood smells fishy & that there was nothing wrong with it. So much for the Customer being heard!
For main courses, we tried:
‘Kinboshi Sagabuta’ Pork-loin (Grilled pork loin served with roasted garlic, Fuji apple salsa, mixed Japanese seaweed in sesame dressing)
This was an interesting melody of tastes. It had quite a sweet taste to it which was surprising. It was succulent & well seasoned. The proportion was also extremely generous.
The Wagu steak was very average which was a shame as we had hoped it to be delectable. The Snapper was also a let-down - lacking in flavor & was not that enjoyable.
The sides of Steamed Cauliflower and Broccoli with Almonds & the Sauteed Wild Mushroom with Truffle Butter were both not that memorable. The Crispy Creamed Spinach (Opus’ twist on an old classic)
was disappointing & dry.
On the bright side, the dessert was quite nice. The Rhubarb and wild berry crumble was scrumptious and very flavorsome.
Won't be going back to this restaurant anytime soon.
