Went to this cozy restaurant at onenorth last week and ordered the 3-Course Set Menu A (chunky tomato soup, basil chicken pasta, panna cotta dessert) ($26.90++)!😇

Overall ratings 7/10! Food was not bad and affordable👍🏻 I like how the soup added croutons😋 Would be back to try other menu items next time!

Went for the 3 course lunch set meal ($26.8++), which included a soup (tomato / chowder), main (pasta / pizza), dessert (chef’s recommendation) and drink (coke / sprite / soda). Had the chowder, seafood pasta, apple crumble w ice cream (topped up $5 to change the dessert) & sprite.

The service was really slow, and my group of 8 friends had to wait almost an hour for the food to arrive (they even forgot one of my friend’s orders), and the food is alright only. I wouldn’t pay so much for this quality next time. The only saving grace was the apple crumble which had a nice balance of sweet and savoury, and the fact that this restaurant is pet friendly, so my friend could bring his dog here.

Both carbonara and truffle mushroom pizza was decent in taste and portion was okay for the price. The carbonara was fragrant with bacon, cream, garlic and cheese. The pasta texture was good too, al dente. Bacon given was generous. The truffle mushroom pizza was a thin crust pizza with so much cheese that it was crispy at the crust, which was really good. Mushrooms and onions were enough and flavour was there. Good for sharing. Didn’t try the oven baked pork as my friend ordered it. Could have informed us that iced water was $1.4…

We were the only ones indoor while a few other groups had their dinner in the outdoor seating area.

We chose the dinner set which came with a choice of appetiser, main and dessert! We had the truffle mushroom soup, iberico pork, duck confit and creme brûlée.
•
The highlight was definitely the truffle mushroom soup, which was so rich and creamy, with an intense truffle flavour.
•
Mains were pretty decent, though I have tasted better duck confit and iberico pork.
•
All in all, a super value for money dinner. Somewhere to bring your date without breaking the bank.

Signature wagyu tomahawk $198 for a medium-sized portions. This unanimously passed the taste test for the beef lovers in the group. The other dishes were well-executed and good value (soups, bacon-wrapped scallops etc). A hidden find despite the lack of advertising (but so many tagged group photos on social!)
