Visited this place about a week ago. Even though it's supposed to be pretty tourist-y, but since its re-opening after its lengthy renovations, I'd wanted to sit there and enjoy the view, and hopefully, the food tood.
We sat at the bar as it looks pretty cool ... all lit up from under the crackly glass top and all. Our waiter/bar keeper wasn't too attentive. We sat for a good few minutes before he tore away from folding napkins to ask if we would like to order some drinks.
We started with an organic baby arugula salad with tangerines. I was amazed by how small the dish was. There were about 5 sections of tangerines scattered in there. Not arranged, membrane still attached. The baby arugula was such as minute amount and not very fresh either. For $11, I expected much better.
We also shared some fries with truffle oil. It was tasty. The truffle oil was pretty subtle as D didn't even taste the difference. Main complain for me? Too greasy.
Along with the fries, we had a macademia crusted halibut with pineapple chutney and something coconut-y. Since the whole dish relyed on the fish itself, we asked for the fish to be cooked to medium rare. It was still a bit raw on the inside, but the end parts were totally dried up and overcooked.
Overall, totally overpriced and underwhelmed. The bar was glaringly bright at night and the food wasn't even close to what they ought to be, compared to the prices they were charging. Will not be back again.
