very good food and service in beautiful surroundings! Try the halibut in a bag. Some of the appetizer and deserts are very creative, lots of spices.

One of our fave restaurants. Star dishes are truffle fries and steaks. Esp the wagyu rump. Cocktails are good too. Service was great. A little disappointed with venison. Could have been better seasoned.

The food was very good but the service was poor. At least one or two waitstaff were always standing along the dining room wall, watching the diners, but they did nothing. We waited 10-15 minutes after arrival with no water and no offer for drinks, so I turned around in my chair, made eye contact and raised my hand slightly, but none of them nodded acknowledged me, none of them moved their feet, and none of them signaled for somebody who would help us. So I kept waiting, turning around, massively interrupting our business conversation, until I got the attention of somebody who would come to our table. This happened AGAIN when we wanted to order. And AGAIN when we wanted more water. The staff along the wall might have been "busboys" instead of waiters, but even if they're not supposed to take orders at the tables, they still could have nodded to me and gone to fetch a real waiter. We weren't in a hurry, and I don't mind signaling when we want something, but I'm really very frustrated that the process of asking for service would be so protracted and disruptive and undignified. It totally ruins the business conversation I'm trying to conduct. What's the point of going to a beautiful garden if we have to display ugly and disruptive manners just to get a glass of water. Our meal was $300 in March 2016 for 3 people during 2.5 hrs of dinner. Each person had 2 or 3 courses and an alcoholic beverage by the glass.

Distinctive and varied food selection. Even a choice of mini desserts as well as "normal size". Black cod, halloumi with ginger and roasted Jerusalem artichoke. Try the layer cake wine.

Beautiful location. If you can handle the humidity, sit outside on the deck. It felt like sitting in the middle of the forest in the evening. The food was very good Asian fusion. Unfortunately our dessert order was missed, and after half an hour we cancelled it as we didn't want to continue waiting. Luckily the wine was good and kept us occupied

The ambience of the restaurant is perfect. The salad was really delicious, can't wait to go back for it again. However, service was disappointing. My steak was undercooked when it was first served, when they took it back, they served the same piece of meat again. So, my steak was cooked twice. For the price I'm paying, I don't think this should have been the case. A meat that has been on and off the stove twice will have a different texture. Taste as still alright though. Even with that though, I would still return to give this place another try. just hope for better service next time.

For the appetizers, the tuna and the wagyu were a little disappointing. The ginger and lemongrass drink was very mild. I thought the flavors could have been stronger. I enjoyed the tenderloin that was served with fries.

We had the silken tofu tempura and the oven-baked halibut. Both dishes were pretty good. Staff were friendly and attentive and the surrounding greenery made for a pleasant ambiance. Great for a relaxing evening dinner and chat. Not cheap but worth the cost once in a while. Prices can be seen at their website.
