Decent meal but lacking in service Service was underwhelming. Wanted to celebrate an anniversary with my partner and had stated as such in the reservation booking. Even came by holding a bouquet of flowers. But in the end, there was no special gesture by the staff to help commemorate this special occasion; not even an offer to decorate our dessert! Further, clearing of our plates was not prompt and I had to take quite some effort to call someone over to serve our dessert.
As for the food, the Cauliflower ($18) was really bland and lacked the nutty sweetness of a well-grilled cauliflower. It just tasted like it was boiled which lost most of it's fragrance; the layer of hazelnut also didn't seem to gel well with the cauliflower in terms of flavour and texture - every bite of this was almost a chore! The other side that we got, the Potato Gratin ($8) fared better and was much more enjoyable albeit the small size.
For our mains of Seared Halibut ($34), we really enjoyed the fresh halibut, with its moist flesh and crisp skin. The clams were also plump and juicy which even my partner who doesn't prefer clams say that she liked it. However, I thought that there was a excessive amount of fennel which almost overpowered the natural taste of the seafood. Ended off the meal with the Warm Pear Lemon ($18) and a glass of sweet wine ($18). The pear dessert was a delight with its intense pear flavours in a multitude of forms, though I wished that the croissant was warmer so as to contrast the cold sorbet better.
Overall, the vibes of the place was nice and the food was decent, and with Accor+ you can get up to 50% off your food (and 15% off wine) which makes for a value-for-money meal. If only service was better, I would have had a much more memorable and positive experience here.
