Our dining experience here was....odd. Not bad, not fantastic, just...odd.First, an explanation: Gobo does some strange things in conjunction, the most glaring of which is the fact that they sell Wagyu steak, but Wagyu (often known as Kobe) steak that's from...Australia. Western Australia, to be precise. The views are from the 6th floor of the Traders looking across to KLCC, and aren't nearly as nice as those from the Skybar (33rd/34th floor), so for those of you who are looking for a 'fantastic' view, you're not likely to find it here. Your view is often of the adjoining office complex, and not the Petronas Towers.To be fair, I made some rather silly mistakes in ordering, which I shouldn't have done. I didn't realise the oysters were flown in, which is generally a solid sign that the oysters aren't going to be very good. They weren't.Service was a bit scatter-gun, as well. We ordered a bottle of wine and the waitress didn't know how to properly un-cork a bottle of wine. She was a lovely young lady but I believe was either brand new or simply confused. She ended up giving the bottle of wine to a colleague, who unfortunately couldn't repair her mangling and snapped the cork in half. Some apologies later an uncorked bottle of wine appeared at our table, although I still don't know if it was a new bottle of wine or the one with the snapped cork. My wife ended up with a fillet and I ended up with a grade 6 wagyu. We both ordered our steaks rare - they came out medium. Despite being cooked at medium (and thanks primarily to the grade of the steak), my main was quite nice - my wife wasn't as complimentary about her steak. The accompanying sauces were fantastic, however.All in all, although the experience was - as I mentioned - odd, I'd consider going back, but our first experience here was by no means mind-blowing.
