Been longing for sunday brunch. Couldn't get a booking at blue butcher, so got one at fish & meat instead.Had trouble finding the location, I found #34 wyndham street, found #32-34, so where is 32? after a few circles I finally went around the corner and found it. walked up the stairs, love the comfortable soft rock music already!Our booking for 2pm, we got seated, and ordered our mains.The self-serve bruschetta station.

Had trouble finding the location, I found #34 wyndham street, found #32-34, so where is 32? after a few circles I finally went around the corner and found it. walked up the stairs, love the comfortable soft rock music already!
Our booking for 2pm, we got seated, and ordered our mains.
The self-serve bruschetta station. Not appealing.
One of the 5 or 6 salads they offered as part of their appetizier buffet. They were always out of these salads, every 10minutes or so they get cleared out and takes a few minutes to replenish. I have no idea why it takes so long... They just put greens + topping + sauce.
This one is greens + salmong + beetroot sauce.Menu said: Beetroot marinated salmon / rocket / crème fraîche
Its just sauce draped on top salmon/greens. Zero marination.
Other variations of the buffet:
greens + squash (Grilled squash with Bagna Cauda / fried capers / courgette)
greens + crab salad (Crab salad / mesclun greens / cucumber / red onion / mandarin / mint vinaigrette)
greens + carrot (Charred carrots / orange / sesame / arugula / coriander / yoghurt)
greens + orzo + cheese (Lemon Risoni / lentals / goats cheese / fresh herbs / grilled peaches)
greens + potatoes (Roasted potato salad / citrus aioli)
greens + asparagus (Roasted asparagus / pistachio pesto / parmesan)
Conclusion: appetizer buffet is not appetizing.
Other than greens and bruschetta, there were also oysters and granola pots.
granola pots was delicious! but weirdly the first batch was plain with strawberries, but the second batch included apricot jam.
orzo salad + teeny weeny oysters (light taste, not salty, not oystery)
salmon salad + more teeny weeny oytsers
crab salad (I bit into pieces of salty - crunchy; and orzo

glass jars as light bulbThe verdict:
most worthwhile was the ambience. food was so-so..
heard the chef behind the kitchen always call "service!! .... service!!" to get servers to come to pick up the dishes and bring it to the tables.
servings of salad and oysters were insufficient. oysters ran out/stopped serving around 3pm.
There were about 10+ tables, totally about 30 customers for teh 2-4pm timeframe and considering its not the very chinese style type where you have to gang up at the the buffet table to fight for food, we still have to hover around to see when the salads/oysters replenished..
loved the atmosphere, the music, the setup, the tables/chairs, location..
loved the hardware! software has lots of room for improvement.
