    We live in the same area as Tender Trap, and always want to try. as Tender Trap has a high reputation. The Restaurant atmosphere is ambient.

    We ordered 3 cocktails,a mocktail n a glass of wine. The Bloody Mary was not flavorful , it should contain more lemon juice, Tabasco and tomato juice. The other drinks were good!

    We started with Beef carpaccio , local mussels & Roasted Octopus. Those entree presented well with a good portion size and balanced texture, color & flavor. Follow with the Paella and the crusted Lamb shoulder. The Paella tasted okay ,the portion is good enough for 3. The lamb shoulder presented in a different way as our imagination, we thought it should be a crusted meat , n it was presented like a pan fried shaped pulled lamb. Overall,the food are good with a reasonable price.

    Then, the waiter started to clear the table for us , and he accidentally overturned my hubbys glass of wine which just finished half!!! It spilled over quarter of the table. The waiter just said sorry once and the manager immediately took the clothes and dry the wine and he said that was lucky spilled at the end of the dinner, but not apologizes for the accident that the waiter made!! How about my half glass of wine?! The manager and the waiter seem didnt think its a matter!! My hubby was upset.
    Even when we take the bill, no one had apologize for the accident again, the half glass of wine hvnt refilled, no discount price for that wine, not offering anything to show the take the responsibility of the ruined dinner service. My fd was not satisfied and tell the lady about the accident caused by the waiter, the lady said she will not charge the wine as an apologize for the accident, the same time the manager heard that and said that wine left only little!!! I DoNT CARE HoW LitTle I LeFt!!! Why did we may to take the responsibility?! Why do we need to pay for the full price if you didnt serve me the whole glass?! Seriously?!
    He made us felt not comfortable as we are Asian, seems we didnt received the same respect as the others.

    Shame on the waiter and the manager, poor management and issues handling skill!!!!!!

    This was not what I was expecting. There was a long wait for the Indian restaurant next door that we love so we decided to try our luck here. The strip of shops surrounding it are rather casual therefore I hadnt really anticipated fine dining. The locals clearly knew what they were in for though as it was very busy. This food here is absolutely on par with traditional European cuisine eaten overseas in the country of origin. Its city restaurant quality in an unassuming location. Not exactly ample parking and hardly budget prices but for the delicious ambiance and opportunity to eat off the exceptional menu I am more than pleased with this discovery

    Have been eyeing and keen to come try this restaurant on the shophouse stretch of Blackburn Rd at the junction of George St. Warmly lit ambience, it was a lovely fine dining restaurant neatly decked out with bottles of fine wine on display.

    It was running full house on a Saturday night.

    The menu looked very enticing with a range of European cuisine. Good selection of house wine by the glass.

    Our favourite dishes were the Duck Breast and Blue Eye Fillet, both well prepared and presented on this occasion.

    The service staff were polite and accommodating. We enjoyed our meal overall.

    Perhaps due to the lack of similar fine dining establishments in this area, they have a niche to be able to command the higher price. It was definitely catered for a special occasion.

    Enjoyable experience, I had the scallops for the entree and my wife had the calamari. Both meals were well presented and delicious. We both had the risotto for the main course which was very enjoyable. The service was excellent and ambiance great. We were both surprised at how busy it was on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant was close to full.

    Came here for a nice dinner, food and service was brilliant! Very attentive but not hovering, pleasantly helpful explaining dishes and specials. The scallops were our favourite dish! Perfectly cooked and fresh, well balanced with the fig. The seafood spaghettini hit just the right spot and was a very close second. Definitely will be coming back!

    Great food, so much flavour and amazing presentation. Staff very helpful and accomodating. The ambiance was amazing with the warmth of candles and soft music. I highly recommend it.
