Once we entered, we were warmly welcomed upon arrival and promptly escorted to our table, where the professional and efficient staff ensured our dining experience began seamlessly. Opting for the 2-course meal at $69 per head, we were treated to complimentary sourdough bread and butter. Our entrees, featuring sweet potato and ginger soup and potted beef with toasted sourdough onion jam, tantalized the taste buds with their flavorful combinations. The menu's wine pairings can enhance the overall dining experience for those who want to try those. Although the braised short rib of beef was unavailable, the alternative options of Fillet Ling with shiitake mushrooms and hazelnuts, along with the Dry aged Aura Wagyu sirloin, did not disappoint, arriving promptly and cooked to perfection. Wagyu Sirloin had a $15 surcharge. Accor Plus members, can get a generous dining discount of up to 50%, further enhancing our satisfaction. Throughout our visit, the professionalism and attentiveness of both the staff and floor manager ensured that we felt well-cared for, leaving us with a memorable dining experience that we would eagerly revisit. Because it is night time we didn’t see the beautiful view, but people who have visited during day time boasts of picturesque views.

I had the tuna entree and it was so fresh and tasty. Then the amazing beef ribs!! Wow huge and so tender the meat just fell off the bone. 3 courses for $87 in these times is fantastic value for the quality, local food produced here. So glad we came back here. Food: 5

The chicken and the lamb were outstanding and perfectly cooked. The crème brûlée was delicious and a great way to finish the meal. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Decor and atmosphere could be improved. All in all, it’s worth a visit! Dietary restrictions: GF options available. Service: Dine in

The fish mosaic entree was decent, but my husband thought his beef tartare tasted like cooked minced beef. After the entree, we had to wait another 35 minutes for our main course. The aged sirloin we ordered was tough and full of chewy tendons. I had initially planned to order dessert, but due to their slow service, I decided against it.
