Even after prior researching of the menu, I still took some time to finally decide what I would order, after spotting the yellow fin tuna dish being delivered to another table, I opted for it immediately.
Rare Yellow Fin Tuna ($20)
w/ potatoes, green beans, olives, tomatoes, aioli & crispy poached egg
The rare yellow fin tuna was absolutely amazing, tender, smooth, flavoursome and melts as you chew, it was simply divine.
The crispy poached egg worked well with the rest of the ingredients such as the tomatoes, green beans, and potatoes. It was an healthy and delicious dish. Though I was never a fan of olives so I simply set them aside.

Passionfruit & Yoghurt Pannacotta ($13)
w/ lemongrass & saffron scented pineapple, fresh passionfruit & nut granola
I ordered this as an meal cleanser after my meal. Though to be honest I regretted ordering this simply because I was already too full to enjoy this wholesomely. Safe to say, this was pretty good.
The ingredients worked well together such as the nut granola and yoghurt. Flavours worked really well together, no problems that I can think of when it comes to this dish asides that it didn't have a 'wow' factor which I was hoping for, but nonetheless, still delicious.

Eggs Benedict ($18)
House smoked ham hock & Bearnaise on toast
Sadly, the Eggs Benedict was disappointing. My friend had ordered this and her first problem was that the toast was simply too hard to cut. Perhaps the wrong order for someone will weak arms?. Nonetheless I helped out with the cutting.
The Bearnaise sauce was lacking, most Eggs Benedict usually have the eggs on top of the ham hock, so the Bearnaise sauce mixes into it, which this did not have, and it lacked in both flavour and quantity. The dish wasn't actually bad (asides from the incredible toughness of the bread) but it wasn't great either. An average dish if I were to rate it.
(6/10)
Iced Chocolate ($6.50)
You seriously can't go wrong with Iced Chocolate. Creamy, sweet and accompanied by a generous scoop of ice cream, it was delicious.
