This restsurant was on our list of places to try for quite a while and we finally got there! It was good but not great. The carpaccio was under seasoned so we asked for some salt and pepper and they gave us a nice assortment of flavored salts, nice! we also had the air dried beef with melon and it was good but a bit lacking in flavor compared to its pork equivalent. The steak, aged black angus sirloin, did not seem to be aged at all. i've had many good aged steaks in usa and they have a melt in your mouth flavor and a dark coloration and dont bleed. this was not even close! it was a tasty steak though and cooked to order. the baked potato was under cooked and hard and barely warm and cut open while still wrapped in foil which caused the pile of butter and stuff on top to just run down the outside of the foil. baked potatoes need a good 60-90 minutes in the oven depending on size to get nice and soft inside and this was not even close. the other veg and especially the porto mushrooms that came with the steak were delicious as was the mushroom sauce. service was pretty good but a bit clueless in some regards such as trying to squeeze between the small gap behind my seat and the wine cart to try and get to the table behind us instead of walking around our table through the main area. i took a metal post (for wine?) from next to us and blocked off the gap with it so the one server who kept passing through there would stop. me and my wife both noticed chunks of black dirt(?) in the bottom of our water glasses. the free bread and potato soup was delicious. the wife's pinot grigio was very good and rm20 instead of the rm37 listed on the menu! the wife also had beef tartar which she said was great and seasoned much better than the carpaccio. it was a good meal but not good enough to return, especially with their other restaurant, el cerdo, across the street. we love that place and have been there many times and will return to el cerdo, but not to the steakhouse.
