Dinner for 4. Someone complained that it took ages to wait for elevator. Busy restaurant; nearly all full and very dark. $200 corkage for a bottle. 2 set menus to choose from; Summer ($688 pp) or Degustation ($888 pp). We ordered from both menus and picked different items to share. Here’s what we had.-Amuse Bouche: Hoikkado Uni on cracker.-Bread basket: with mini croissant etc. -AppetisersFrom Summer menu) King Fish Tartare and salmon roe wrapped with seaweed taco.

2 set menus to choose from; Summer ($688 pp) or Degustation ($888 pp). We ordered from both menus and picked different items to share.
Here’s what we had.
-Amuse Bouche: Hoikkado Uni on cracker.
-Bread basket: with mini croissant etc.
-Appetisers:
(From Summer menu) King Fish Tartare and salmon roe wrapped with seaweed taco. Texture-wise: a disaster. The seaweed taco had gone very hard. Impossible to cut with knife and fork. People suggested using my hands but not a pretty sight: took it up; even before biting into it, tartare shot everywhere. The lump of string seaweed on the side was just as bad; salty and impossible to take apart.
(From Degustation Menu) Gillardeau Oyster With salmon roe, yuzu and soy sauce gel
-Additional courses from either Menu (+$100):
42°C Fresh Smoked Salmon with smoked caviar, apple and horseradish pearls, yoghurt and beetroot purée. One of the restaurant’s signatures. Server came with the transparent lid on, saying it would take a few minutes for the smoke to envelop the dish. When she eventually lifted off the lid, we could all smell the aromatic smokey flavor. Loved the thickness of the salmon.
Chilled Lobster Ravioli with hawthorn shavings, pickled cherry tomato and strawberry bouillon
-(Extra course for Degustation Menu): Abalone Risotto with beetroot and seasonal vegetable
-Mushroom consommé with mixed fungi, morel and black truffles from Australia and France. Could do with less pepper.
-Palette cleanser: Yuzu Sorbet
-Mains:
(From Summer menu) French Crispy Pork Belly with cabbage and caramelized pineapple. My favorite out of the mains: crispy skin; not too fatty.
(From Degustation Menu) Sous Vide Lamb Rack with eggplant caviar, grilled zucchini and pumpkin seed
(From Both menus) Pan fried Amadai fish with lobster foam and parsnip puree. Scales were supposed to be crispy but was too hard. Hurt my gums.
-Dessert: lemon tart
In summary: apart from the salmon (which was very good); everything else was ok.
