We have not been to Sabatini for quite some years and in celebration of my birthday, my wife and I decided to revisit this famous restaurant. Came around 730 pm, the restaurant was already quite a full house and we were led to our table. You could hear the music band singing a birthday song to a table of six. To my surprise, the menu was not all "autentico" Italian dishes as I expected. In addition, though the waiters were quite attentive, they were not active in recommending dishes or wine
To my surprise, the menu was not all "autentico" Italian dishes as I expected. In addition, though the waiters were quite attentive, they were not active in recommending dishes or wines to customers. I strongly believe that a little education would certainly bring more value to the dishes and customers would have more satisfaction. For example, rather than just saying the names of the breads, a little explanation on how to fully savour these breads, where they from would certainly bring delights to the cusotmers.
Anyway, we figured out the menu ourselves and ordered a Lobster soup, a carpaccio with truffles as starters followed by Prime beef Sirloin and Lobster Linguine as main course. Overall the food was good but not exceptional. The linguine was a bit overcooked and the Sirloin was less tender than expected.
The highlight was the music performance and the lady, with such a stunning voice, melted our heart. Apart from singing the usual birthday song, we requested them to perform Ed Sheeran "Perfect" .... and they delivered it "perfectly".
Compare to our previous visit, we were a mix of feeling. We love the place but the food was not as delightful as before. The performance certainly added a lot of valuable points. I hope the restaurant is not heading to "classic" category, i.e. keeping the routine services they have been practising many years. Then they might gradually fall behind to those new comers.
