Ever since the opening of Jamie's Italian, long queues are always seen outside the restaurant and it is especially long during peak hours! I heard that the reservation waiting list is as long as 3 months!! My friends and I waited for the hype to die down and went slightly earlier than dinner time.

Ever since the opening of Jamie's Italian, long queues are always seen outside the restaurant and it is especially long during peak hours! I heard that the reservation waiting list is as long as 3 months!! My friends and I waited for the hype to die down and went slightly earlier than dinner time. We were happy to have gotten seats within 5 minutes We decided to share among us a few of their mains.
There are 3 different planks on the menu, meat, fish and vegetables. We got the fish plank, which consist of a few individual food items like beetroot-cured salmon, roasted shellfish, smoked mackerel, italian cheese with crispy bread and chilli jam, pickles and crunchy salad. I felt that this was the best we ordered.
We had a hard time deciding on the pasta and ended up ordering their recommended Jool's Favourite Sicilian Tuna Fusilli. The Albacore tuna is slow-cooked with tomatoes, garlic, herbs and cinnamon with crunchy herby breadcrumbs. We all felt that the entire dish was just so-so only.
We also ordered the Wild Truffle Risotto, which consist of finely minced black truffle with butter and Parmesan. This dish is much better than the pasta but I could hardly taste any truffle.
Ending off our dinner with desserts! The wobbly panna cotta, served with a fruit compote, tasted really average and there was nothing to rave about. The brownie is much better! It has a mixture of chocolate and raspberry within and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top. Overall, I don't understand the hype at all as the food is really nothing to rave about.
