Food surprisingly was good even though it was V-day and the restaurant was obviously full house. Servers were friendly and attentive despite a busy day. The highlights for me are the cold seafood starters. The Caledonia blue prawns were really sweet and fresh... for a long time, I almost forgotten how fresh seafood should taste like.
First impression is that this place on the map (of the share ride driver) seem to be located funnily in the middle of nowhere. But if you look on the map, it’s the hexagonal building right in front of the furniture shop mall. Just have to go on the stairs and it’s the restaurant on top, right next to shell.
Food was delicious and the service very well. The octopus was the highlight of our dinner - perfectly cooked not too hard and not too soft. The sirloin steak was my favorite too; soft in the middle and marinated well. The broccolini sides with almonds were simply divine. The clam pasta was nice.The desert portions are actually quite small and delicious (I had the apple) so don’t be shy if you don’t want to share.
The French owner is very friendly and will be happy to start a chat and explain about then food, the origins and how it’s cooked. Very pleasant experience overall.
Ordered assorted oysters, lobster, rib-eye, fish and chips, clams, banana pie.
Oysters were fresh and plump.
Lobster was good and cooked nicely.
Steak had a nice rub to it, cooked medium rare.
Fish and chips portion was huge, my son could not finish it. The batter was fluffy and had a light crunch at the same time.
Clams broth was a little too salty. We soaked the bread in it to make it less so.
Clams were sweet eaten on their own.
The pie was light with choice of ice cream. Will probably try the others next time here.
Service was friendly and generally accommodating.
We enjoyed the meal and will come again.
