I came here on two separate occasions for dinner and the ambiance was very nice. They were a bit slower so I did get decent service - there were some quirks but nothing that was make or break. The first time around we started with some Prosecco and had the Caesar Salad and the Avocado Ritz which was interesting. I was confused as to why they had put the seasonings on the side, I had never seen that before. The prawns were good but I was just overall confused by the dish.
We then had the Pork Belly with sides of Creamed Spinach and Grilled Garden Vegetables. The Pork Belly was the star of the show - it had a wonderful crispy skin and was wonderfully paired with the corn salsa - it was the best thing we had that night. The grilled vegetables and the potatoes that came with the pork belly were well cooked but the spinach sadly did not taste good. The creamed spinach was basically bitter because it simply had no flavor. We then had the Dolce de Leche Crème Brûlée and it was a great ending to our meal. The Dolce Brûlée was a thick crust and had such a wonderful flavor and the Crème paired nicely with the candied cashews - it was one of the best Crème Brûlées I've ever had.
The second time around we had the Cauliflower and Truffle Soup to start and that was one of the best appetizers/soup I had had at any restaurant on the resort. I was expecting the truffles to overpower the cauliflower but it was such a well-balanced combo. We then shared the Surf and Turf which included the sirloin steak, prawns, and chips and it tasted pretty good. I thought the sirloin looked a tad rarer than I was expecting when I cut into it but it ended up coming out just right. The prawns tasted good as well, not too dry like they sometimes can be and well seasoned.
On both occasions there were some aspects of the service and our meal that of course could be improved but all in all, I enjoyed myself both times.
