Nice environment, reasonable food, and attentive service...but...There were no nibbles of any sort available at the (pleasant) upstairs bar with drinks.The garlic prawns were tasty with a rich creamy sauce, but came with only 3 wafer thin slices of baguette to mop up the sauce. We got more when we asked, but why ration bread in such an expensive restaurant?Pomfret with tandoori was an interesting concept. Fish was well cooked but not sure in the end if we were eating tandoori sauce or tom yum sauce.Veges were fresh and not overcoked.The CRAB??? Everyone says to have the crab. Credit to chef for a different take on chilli crab, and it was nice enough, but again not something that I would return for. Chilli was pretty bland. Try it once if you have to.We objected to the continual sell - eg the waiter was insistent we have the most expensive wine on the menu, which happened to be a big Australian red, and not appropriate for seafood. We opted for the NZ Pinot Gris was fine. We were also told we needed to order a larger crab, more dishes, etc etc. Then there was the push by several of the staff to ensure we gave them a good TA review. As for the manager lighting up a cigarette beside us while we were still eating, then going off and leaving it smouldering in the ashtray? I don't think I will bother with this place again, which is a shame because it has potential.
