I booked a table for two days ahead of our visit. After the spa session at the adjacent De Villa Spa, we popped in a bit early at 5.30pm.
Throughout our meal we were the only occupied table. Despite this, the staff made numerous errors in our order. A starter of scallops had to be switched for oysters as “there were not enough scallops”. We agreed to the change but they only served one serving of oysters and the scallops was still on the bill, and had to be deleted.
Our bread basket was served warm but the fresh garlic herbs butter was frozen. It should have been warmed up before serving, a matter of seconds especially when the kitchen could not have been busy.
For mains, we ordered the 7-days aged duck and the beef bourguignon. They served us two plates of the beef and we had to send one back. Bear in mind, we were the only occupied table n the restaurant. I don’t understand how they could have gotten this wrong.

We left very disappointed, and didn’t bother with any photos. This experience is not...
Read moreOld school ambience. Good for quiet dinners. Ordered the degustation menu with additional course. 1) oyster is not impressive. Did not hv the freshness of the sea. 2) prawn cocktail - prawns had sweetness of the sea. Asparagus overcooked. Sauce nothing to rave abt. Average dish. 3) scallop- seared perfectly, mashed potato is smooth and goes well with the ebiko. Nice. 4) foie gras - very well done and top quality. Goes well with the green grapes and strawberries. Sauce a little too sweet 5) sorbet - too sweet. A bit weird to hv dessert begore the main course. If the purpose is to freshen the tastebuds then it needs to be more tangy. 6) 21day aged steak - taste ok but i am disappointed. Ordered rare but served medium rare. Sauce salty. Lacks the unami of aged steak. The one i had at Emily steakhouse was better. 7) dessert - too sweet and it was not fully defrost, making it difficult to eat with a spoon. Will i return? I...
