This whole dinner was a complete failure in my opinion, it was so bad that it was almost comical, me and my partner literally cracked up every time something new and disastrous happened.I had booked a table for NYE via whatsapp, I was very specific about which table I wanted - I even sent them pictures, and I was pleasantly surprised that they were very accommodating and secured that particular table for me, let's be honest we were all attracted by the décor. However, on the night the staff told
I had booked a table for NYE via whatsapp, I was very specific about which table I wanted - I even sent them pictures, and I was pleasantly surprised that they were very accommodating and secured that particular table for me, let's be honest we were all attracted by the décor. However, on the night the staff told me that they were unable to provide that table, she told me that the restaurant does not guarantee tables for customers, I showed her the whatsapp chat and she later transferred us to a sofa table (we were originally seated in the middle of the dining room).
When ordering I asked the waiter about portion sizes as I wanted to order two pastas between the two of us, he suggested ordering a pasta and a main instead, I've heard bad things about the mains so I wanted to pass. Overall the waiter was not very helpful with ordering.
For a $480 sandwich, there was nothing refined or delicate about it; the focaccia had holes in it (not pictured) and the uni was kinda melting. Taste wise, it was surprisingly good, I didn't expect much from the tuna but it was soft and flavourful, the uni and the caviar added an extra layer of umami on top and I'd say it worked quite well together in a mouthful. I also noticed they used golden caviar instead of black perhaps because it was NYE. This is a dish I would eat again if not for the hefty price tag.

Then came the red prawn linguine, we never asked for it to be divided into two portions nor were we notified that it would be divided. Why did I have such a big problem with this? Oh that's right because the divided portion size was pitiful. PITIFUL. I almost didn't wanted to take a picture of it. This was a main right? I could down that plate in 3 bites. The dish itself was good, the prawns were slightly cooked on the outside, the inside still had that raw sashimi texture so you get the best of both worlds. Pasta was al dente as it should be. Again, pitiful portion size.

I asked the waiter not to divide the next pasta and the kitchen complied thankfully. The portion size of the duck confit fettucine was so generous... and this was the less expensive pasta! Why should the portion size be so different? And oh my goodness the fettucine was an absolute disaster! I am no expert in Italian cuisine but I do know that fettucine is not supposed to be paper thin! As you can see in the photo it was so thin that it was translucent, it reminded me of a type of Taiwanese noodles. The duck confit was nothing special, the sauce was pretty mundane, maybe I was too in awe of the pasta itself to make logical judgment.
We didn't even bother ordering dessert because we didn't want to be further disappointed. Also the waiters were just lurking the entire time, I sat on the sofa side and it was just so distracting seeing 5 waiters just snooping left and right, this is a pretty personal thing so it might not bother everyone, I'm just extremely sensitive, I think the best waiters are the ones in stealth mode unless you need something from them.
Just when we thought this silly dinner was over, as we attempted to walked out of the restaurant, we were ushered out to the back door... that's right, a fine dining restaurant ushers customers out the back door. Did you not want me to disturb your customers as I walked out? Was the front door locked already? Or is this normal behaviour I should be okay with?
