Sol & Luna

House made spaghetti with crab. The pasta is Al dente, the sauce was light and crab meat was sweet. Overall a pretty good choice of main.

Restaurant is smaller than I expected. Service was polite.

Late review but wanted to pen down my thoughts here nonetheless.

Decided on Sol & Luna for my Valentine's Day dinner since I had heard good things about this restaurant plus I wanted to enjoy the 51st floor view after dinner. For $120 per person ($285.10 in total), a pretty expensive meal but I was still looking forward to it.

Salmorejo in Shooter - Tomatoes were sweet and slightly tart, paired well with the basil oil and ham.

Spanish Grilled Octopus - Octopus was tender and not too chewy. Tasted great especially with the Romesco sauce. Smoked Chorizo and potatoes were also great to mop up all the juices and sauce.

Oysters - Fresh and went great with the Mignonette dressing (a condiment of minced shallots, cracked pepper, and vinegar). Could be plumper.

Catalan Braised Leg of Chicken - Well charred with crisp skin and tender meat. Sauce tasted strangely Chinese-style and the shimeji mushrooms added to the vibe but only googled later that the sauce was a wine reduction.

Basque Txuleta Steak Astigarraga - Altogether pretty good. Tender rib steak in a delicious peppery sauce, and the peppers/onions/tomatoes on the side added tang and sweetness to the meatiness.

Seabass a la Plancha - Seabass was good, also enjoyed the mussels and clams. the fregola resembled a thicker version of couscous and we were surprised that it was a pasta. Flavour was on the lighter side however.

Sopapilla Cheesecake - The cheesecake was actually a crescent roll in a rectangular shape (think crumbly layers much like a croissant but denser and more bread-like). Didn't really enjoy this, but the Citrus Gelato was delicious.

Ultimately, this was just a severely marked-up dinner set for 2 in the spirit of Valentine's Day, which would have been fine if not for a particularly horrible experience I had with one of the staff. There was a service crew clearing our plates and cutlery who smelled really bad - not in a body odour sense but rather in a dried urine kind of way. I cannot confirm whether it was the smell of urine but there was just a very rank odour whenever he passed by. If it was urine it would be especially concerning since he handled the plates and cutlery on our tables and even helped the couple next to us take a photo. Perhaps I should have raised the issue up on the spot as it was a matter of hygiene, but I only sent in a message on their website the day after, which until now I have not received a reply on. I don't exactly know what the smell was, but I just know that it ruined my dining experience.

Roasted Poulet - $28

Yummy roasted chicken thigh meat, tender and flavourful. The chicken skin is roasted till slight crisp. The side comes sweet potatoes and snow peas, paired with carrot ginger puree, which gives earthy flavours. I didn’t appreciate the périgueux sauce though. Diners at Sol & Luna can visit the Sky Garden at night, which is a privilege for diners only
