Shrimp & Crab Bisque (RM52)- w Clams & Ikura
Comment: Extremely rich in flavor, savoury and very appetizing! Huge portion of soup and generous amount of clams and prawns, perfect for sharing! Very delicious seafood kind of soup, strongly recommend this!

Fish (Cod, Salmon & Halibut) (RM47)- Norwegian smoked salmon, halibut, cod in a creamed fish emulsion sauce

Fish (Cod, Salmon & Halibut) (RM47)- Norwegian smoked salmon, halibut, cod in a creamed fish emulsion sauce
Comment: Love the pie that is crispy and flaky, soft in the middle, packed with loads of ingredients. However, I didn't enjoy the creamed fish emulsion sauce that gives a weird taste that doesn't blend. Preferred the lamb pie.

Pulled Lamb Signature Gourmet Pies (RM47)- From 8 hour slow roasted lamb shank in a rich tomato based sauce.
Comment: Huge portion! Perfect for sharing if you are a small eater. The pie crust is crispy and flaky but become soggy after dipping in the sauce. You could actually taste chunks of tender lamb meat in it. A combination of tomato flavor and savoury. The filling is generous. Even the mash taste good, smooth, creamy and buttery. Definitely one of their signature dishes!

Pulled Lamb Signature Gourmet Pies (RM45)- From 8 hour slow roasted lamb shank in a rich tomato based sauce

Linguine Garlic Kombu Butter (RM58)- with tiger prawns, white wine, parsley, ikura, yuzu
Comment: Not a fan of this pasta, the texture of the linguine is al-dente but the taste is just off. The butter taste overpowered the garlic taste. Feel super filling after one bite. Some of the tiger prawns are slightly not fresh.

Tagliatelle Truffle Cream (RM58)- Crab, shrimp, herring roe
Comment: Truffle paste is quite strong in flavor, creamy and I love the generous chunks of crab meat. However, I will love this more if the truffle flavor is stronger as I am a huge fan of truffle!

Pure Angus Ribeye 280gm +100days grainfed au poive (RM138)- contains alcohol, classic pepper sauce, petit pois, confit tomato, mash

Duck Confit & Foie Gras (RM88)- Poached beetroot, butternut puree, potato in duck fat
Comment: Very good dish with all the goodness! Tender duck meat with thin, crispy skin. Already tasty on its own, you can add the butternut puree for the enhanced flavor! Foie gras is rich, buttery and delicate. Strongly recommend this dish as well!

Crepe Suzzete (RM35)- French crepes, caramelized sugar and butter sauce, fresh orange juice and zest, grand marnier, gelato with Madagascar vanilla
Comment: Citrusy kind of dessert, sweet and sour flavor. Nothing to shout about.

Chocolate and Marshmallow Cookie (RM7)
Comment: Delicious cookie with crispy edges and soft and chewy in the middle. Buttery and fragrant chocolate aroma.

     Immediately fall in love with this restaurant on my first visit. Food taste awesome, excellent service and comfortable dining area, especially with that added screen for safety. Strongly recommend this place for family outing, gathering and dates.
