I've always wanted to visit this hotel since its opening but never managed to and last night we went to celebrate our anniversary at Thirty8 restaurant, located on the 38th floor, overlooking the twin Towers. We were placed in a booth and I like the intimacy of a booth but it was so dark. Could hardly read the menu....what a pity! There were many birthdays being celebrated as well so it was a joyous place. We started with a Beetroot salad, arugula, goat cheese, pecan nut, balsamic dressing (RM47). It came with very few leaves of arugula and a little bit of goat cheese and big pieces of beetroot and hardly any dressing....very disappointing. I can make better salad presentation and better tasty dish than that one. My husband had Hot and sour seafood soup (RM35), he said it was OK. Then I ordered Tasmanian salmon trout, fennel, lemon, cedar wood (RM105). The salmon was really very tasty, and moist but hardly any fennel and really nothing else, on a piece of cedar wood!!! (another disappointment). My husband ordered Tiger prawns, lemon, garlic butter (RM99) and again, hardly any butter and it certainly did not taste garlic butter and very dry and pretty tasteless. We ordered some Roasted pumpkin, reggiano parmesan (RM30) and again no taste and dry. When the head waiter asked us about the food we told them the truth, how disappointing it was. He was kind and offered us desserts but we declined or coffee/tea and we also declined. We did not come for freebies. We wanted to have a nice meal to celebrate a special event and ended up extremely disappointed. We ordered a bottle of Australian red wine and it was fine. The total bill came to RM462 and I can honestly say I have eaten far better meals for very much less. It is very expensive but the food is not worth it.I would not recommend this restaurant nor would I want to go back.
