The total cost for the dinner ( 12 pax) was around 4500sgd with 6 servings of lobster (around 180bucks each), abalone with vege, stir fried venison, some fried tofu, and some vietnamese fried stuff . I had a fish maw soup as well and it was pretty lacking in character and taste. Overall, the dishes was mediocre and the wine selection limited.
I'd ordered 3 bottles of Veuve Cliquot 1999 Vintage Rose and a bottle of Petaluma Merlot 2002 (too fruity, no structure), a Gaja, and some other wines. None of the wine impressed me.
I wasn't happy either that the waitress had mixed up the wines, (pouring the petaluma into gaja glass), and the stemware were of Ikea quality. Come on, for this place i would have expected a lower range of Schott Zwiesel/Spiegelau or even a Mikasa.
We proceeded to the Cocoon Bar below and had the snacks platter. Again, its pretty boring food. I would not want to go further in commenting the food/wine. For the price you pay, the food quality, services (the restaurant's waiters were unsure of what to do and some has limited understanding of English. They seem kind thou.) were quite a dissapointment. It is zero value for money.
All in all, this place seems to be a pseudo-classy-tourist-trap-with-nothing but fancy-deco and substandard food. If you come here for food, fuhgehaboutit!
