Ordered 2 weekend set lunch at $308 each.
Bread
The sourdough is piping hot and tasty, especially after wipg with the homemade butter. The best part of the meal.
Starters
1. Herb Risotto, mascarpone, and Serrano crusted soft egg
This is spendid. Although the risotto has lost its chewy texture after deep-frying, the combination of the sauce, cheese, poached egg and rice is unbeatable. The flavor is diversifying and interesting.
2. Celeriac and pear soup, duck croquettes and salad of shaved pear, fennel and thyme
Not bad a dish to start. Taste a bit like Chinese pork soup however. The duck croquettes immersed in the liquid is great.
Mains
1. Wagyu tri tip, braised short rib, fondant potato, knobbled artichokes, french beans & tarragon (+$40)
Wagyu is tender, juicy and great. Potato with jam tastes spendid. But that's all for the whole dish. The short rib is over-seasoned, so as the sauce. The artichokes is burnt. Overall, the entirety is a bit too salty.
2. Confit salmon, green peas, old grain crust, potato puree & bacon jam
I.e. slow cook salmon. Nothing to bring home about. Mediocre.
Dessert
1. Lychee & white tea pannacotta, white chocolate parfait & pineapple
The most disappointing session of the meal. The pannacotta is lack of lychee and tea flavor. The pineapple is weird. It does not look or taste fresh. The whole plate is simply ruined.
2. Cinnamon spiced mandarins, lemon thyme cake & caramel ice cream
It did not perform much better. The lemon cake is dry and tasteless. The various components did not come well together.
Overall
The quality of the food goes down as the meal advances. That is really distressing. The food quality and the service as a whole deserve an "okay", but considering the price, a "cry" is seemingly inescapable. Hence the verdict.
