Recommended: No. It's $$ as hell and the food doesn't live up to the price and it's in tiny portions too!
Overall Rating: 6.5/10
Let me justify the overall rating. Unfortunately for the price we paid, I was not that satisfied with the food. I enjoyed the food at 7 numbers more and it was much cheaper!
The dinner hurt our wallets and I wouldn't have minded if the food was heavenly.
Environment - 9.5/10
First impression - wow! It is a very classy, trendy and modern place. It is catered to young people with giant wallets. Apparently celebrities have been seen there (which explains the crazy food prices...).
I liked how we had an entire floor (besides the lounge area) to ourselves. It felt like a private room :)
One mild complaint is the lack of a sign outside. I walked right by it not realizing it was the restaurant (since it has no sign, number, nothing). Next minor complaint is the tiny size of the restaurant. I wished the lounge area was a bit further from the dinning area.
Service: 9/10
Fantastic service. Our waiters were friendly, attentive and quick. No complaints!
Food
We opted for the 'dim sum' style where it was about $65 and you get to try 9 different plates.
Samosas: 7/10
Pretty good. Very very very mild spice but I could handle it :)
Some giant Shrimp - 6/10
Was this shrimp genetically modified or something? Nothing special besides the crazy size.
Edamame: 5/10
I'm not American. I'm not a fan of salty things. This was SALTY T__T I blame it on that sauce.
Does anyone remember what this was called? 6/10
It was ok. Nothing special.
Crudo Plate - 6.5/10
It didn't taste too fishy. Not bad.
Shrimp + Chocolate...? 7.5/10
Shrimp and chocolate? What a weird combination! But it worked. It was interesting and different.
Chicken - 8/10
Best dish of the night. I loved the potatoes and tomatoes too. Chicken was good, but could have a bit more flavour.
Lamb - 7/10
It wasn't too bad but not wonderful.
There was some weird phenomenon going on with those 'fries.' The ones at the top were yummy but the ones sitting on the plate where super salty. Eh?!?!
