*Warning* Unpopular Opinion Incoming: I don't get it. I really really don't. I am extremely disappointed by this restaurant. The amount of effort into getting a reservation, the reputation surrounding it, and even some of these reviews had my wife and I so excited to dine here for our 4th wedding anniversary, I am still in shock by how poor an experience we had. Not one time during our time here did 1 single staff member wish us a happy anniversary, or thank us for choosing them to celebrate with, as with most eateries on this side of the world, we had to flag down a server nearly every step of the way. Our waiter also was quite pushy on items we "must order" to the point he wasn't really even listening to what I was trying to order, he would point to another item while I was in mid sentence and exclaim "Oh no, you must order this, very good this one". I appreciate suggestions and recommendations, but man, let me finish speaking before you barrage me with "must orders". Everything in this restaurant is brown, or a shade of brown, or in the color wheel of brown. Seriously there is not one pop of color anywhere to be found, no pictures, paintings, art, fish tank, etc. It was like being in house made of chocolate or something, there was nothing interesting to visually see other than the open kitchen where 10+ people seem to be needed for a half full restaurant. (Our reservation was 6:30 - 3/4 the tables were empty but started to fill up later towards 8PM). OK - On to the food, which was the biggest part of our frustration. I have been to several "fine dining" establishments before, I get the idea. Small portions, quality food, unique concepts is the norm, however here it seems to just be small portions of oily food. We ordered at least 7- 8 dishes, including the Grissini, Sanger, eggplant, eel, garlic shoots, Bone marrow bun, and striploin, so we got a fair sample of the entire menu, including some of the highly recommended dishes I see in these reviews. Nearly every dish mentioned, comes with some sort of Aioli heavy sauce, over the top amounts of oil, and enough salt to cause even an Olympian to start having heart palpitations. No joke I could feel my blood pressure rising 3/4 through this meal. There was absolutely zero balance to these dishes, nothing helped bring down the oil taste/feeling of these items, no acid, no bite, nothing. They all sort of tasted the exact same. Its like eating heavy frosting cake then downing a rich milkshake, its just too much. There was also zero texture to anything, since every item was covered in so much oil, it was all super soft and mushy, when you were hoping for a crispy bite to help with the super soft aioli/sauce/oil, you got nothing. Oh here comes the next dish- surprise! Drenched in oil and salt!....awesome. I feel I am a pretty fair judge when it comes to steak...being from Texas in USA, I have had many... mannnnyyy steaks in my life, the one I had last evening was just mediocre. Nothing about it was memorable at all, it had no sear, no body, nothing on the side to accentuate the texture or flavor other than a weak fennel "salad", drenched in....you guessed it...oil based vinaigrette! With the massive open face fire pit in the back of the kitchen... I was really hopefully to get something with some sear or char or anything to capture that flavor of the fire, but it seems like that is just for show, the steak I had tasted/appeared like it was just oven baked to medium rare. The bone marrow bun was just more of the same, soft, mushy, salty, oily, etc. At this point in the meal it was nearly impossible to finish, so much jelak buildup and salt overload that we were pounding the waters ($12 mind you). Finally the ordeal was over, they cleared our table and had us sit for another 20 minutes before anyone came back...at this point we had tapped out, the façade had faded away, the curtain was pulled back and the illusion was revealed, we were not impressed by this smoke show. With literally thousands of other restaurants in SG, I can not in the right mind recommend this place to anyone, and am completely baffled at how this is considered "good" food.
