    I had the seafood pasta. The hake (first mistake in a seafood pasta) was overcooked and powdery and one/more of the other seafood ingredients was evidently off. The chef needs a lesson on balancing his flavours - too much Parmesan (another no no in a seafood dish) and uncooked cream overpowered the dish. I was as sick as a dog in the evening. Also, we never really checked our bill and just shared it amongst the two families. On reflection it seemed quite expensive and I can’t make the numbers work. All in all, not a very happy experience from one of the Waterfront’s iconic restaurants. Keep this up and they won’t last.

    I ordered 1 kingklip parsley risotto, and the food was a bit bland, and the risotto was still hard. The taste was not as expected... Hmmm, I'm not sure what went wrong, but I think it could have been better for the price one is paying.
