Super bougie steak and super bougie prices! Food is decent but I don't know if I would come if I had to pay for it myself... overall, I found the food a touch too salty with super tiny portions, and everything was quite gimicky. We started off with some cocktails - I was shocked to find that they were almost $30 on average! I almost thought that I had been transported back to Singapore with these prices. My orchard sour was good, quite strong. My colleague got the clover club and it arrived with a bunch of dry ice / nitrogen gas... they then served some small tartare amuse bouche, which were quite delicious. We then moved on to appetizers. We had all expected the daily bread to be a house-baked bread basket, but it was a small brioche loaf (of four pieces), gratuitously topped with fried onion bits and then smothered in gravy and liquid cheese. The foie gras was fatty and indulgent, just as you'd expect. The caviar tuna tartare was good, but I found the cracker a bit soggy (as it was pressed between the tartare) and there was just a smidge of caviar... definitely not worth the $120 price tag. The crab and beef (crab meat with micro-greens wrapped in carpaccio beef) was quite delicious, but the caesar salad was honestly very disappointing. It was full of anchovy flavour but super salty. Not the mention the portions were for a child! Finally came the time for mains. Overwhelmed by the menu options, we told the waiter that he could help us pick a few options. He chose 5 steaks, aiming for about 7oz per person, but my colleagues (all meat lovers) enthusiastically suggested he go up to 8oz. And so, we ended up with 6 steaks. The waiter also selected some truffle raviolini for us to start. The raviolini was bite-sized, perfect for easy eating. It had a very meaty and cheesy flavour, and we all inhaled it in no time. Before serving the steak, our server came up to us with a big, grand-looking wooden box. He gave a spiel about how for our fine steaks, we need fine knives, and walked us through the knives - how they're made from Damascus steel, folded over in 2048 layers, something about very expensive wood from Hawaii that is harvested when the tree naturally dies... then told us to "choose our weapon". Haha, so epic. The steaks were cut into 7 portions (for us 7 people) and placed on our plates from leanest (left hand side) to most fatty. The steaks were a tenderloin, penokean striploin, a PEI ribeye, a la morocha farm ribeye, a wagyu blend striploin, and a Miyazaki wagyu striploin. I think my personal favourites were the PEI ribeye and the two wagyus. The pure wagyu, which was beautifully marbled, literally melted in my mouth. However, I was so stuffed by this point that I only ate a bit of each... and gave the rest to my still hungry colleagues for them to enjoy. We were also served a bunch of house sides, which included extremely buttery roast maitake mushrooms, shoestring fries, cheesy leeks, and more. By the end of the meal, everyone was stuffed... but then they brought out four desserts on the house. The Black Forest was okay, the cheesecake was good (but again, served over the top with dry ice thrown all over it), the Paris Brest tasted like a Nutella dessert, and the lemon cake was nice and light. What a perfect way to end an indulgent night! P.S. even the washrooms were super fancy with Toto washlets that came alive and opened when someone stepped in. Wish I took a photo!
