My partner surprised me by taking me to this place, as it's been a while since we've been to a fancy restaurant... The outside or the restaurant gives you the vibe that it's a casual little place in Albert Park, but once you walk in, and taken to the garden at the bank, you feel like you just walked to a different country all together!
Pretty decorations, with trees crawling on the wall, and dim lights on the table... I just knew that we are in the right place.
We were greeted by a super friendly staff, who announced that he will be in charge of our table. He helped us with the orders, and recommended wine that pairs well with the food.
So we ordered Seafood Kebab, long skewer of extra large Australian banana prawn cutlets, scallops, fresh fish & calamari fillets, char-grilled, on paella rice, steamed seasonal vegetables, tartare sauce & chimichurri; and Scotch Fillet (250g) Steak, served on rosemary & garlic roasted potato & red wine beef jus.
The Seafood Kebab was just perfect! Loved how it was cooked, the spices, the freshness of the ingredients, and the quantity was just about right. The steak was equally juicy and cooked to perfection as well.
We were tempted to order dessert after such a fine meal, and opted to go for the Poached Pink Lady apple stuffed with chocolate coated crushed walnut and topped with a dollop of double cream. I just wished it was a bit warmer, but nevertheless, it was the perfect ending for such a beautiful experience.
Highly recommended if you want to be transported to Europe.
