Signature Dishes
2fifteen is tucked in a cosy corner at Level 2 Rochester Mall, with the help of big signboards around, it made patrons easier to locate her by walking along the walkways at the outdoor area.2fifteen was named after its unit number, #02-15 in case many of us wander why such an imitable name.As we entered the restaurant, we felt that Interior Design was well done up, with a concept more towards a modern French ambiance furnished against some rustic looking brick walls and wood-liked homogenous flooring. Chandelier was seen hanging from the fore-ceiling with place brightly lited. Apart from these welcoming designs, service was above average with observant server who come in once a while to topped up our glasses of drinks.Though named as a kitchen but it was a place serving hearty, unpretentious comfort french European cuisine. Executive Chef Kenny Yeo who helmed 2fifteen kitchen had his culinary skills honed at Le-Cententaire Hotel-Restaurant, 3 Star Michelin establishment in France, some Singapore's best restaurants including Les Amis and at various private functions with reputable guests including the former Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew.During my visit, we had noted his presence and he was friendly enough to give us a smile and a waving gesture, saying "Hello" to us. One need not worry about bringing the kids into the restaurant as they were children friendly. Service was professional as the child seat was already prepared when we were there.Started our palates off with the freshly baked mini croissants & Baguette with Butter, warming right into our stomach.One of the appetisers we had. Sprinkled heavily with vinargrette and if lucky, one can actually get to crush on the little sea salt crystals within.Tangy tomato as the soup of the day. Sweet and tastes tad sour, standard, nothing to rave about.An additional main ordered. Crispy Duck Confit from Perigord, Medley of Mesclun, Balsamic Vinagretter. Uncover the cracking crisp layer and you will find a layer of fat. Perfectly marinated and amazingly delectable accompanied with garden of Mesclun and roasted potatoes. Yums!Cost: $36Enjoy every bite of the Warm Salad of Foie Gras with Grape Petite Sald and Raspberry Vinaigrette. This is a top up at ($14) on top of the adult main course. Look at the bubbles formation, isnt the pan-seared fragrant slab alluring? Once we had it in our mouth, it literally disintegrate and melts right away. Thumbs up! 3 kinds of sausage was served, white, original and spicy flavour accompanied by a bed of smashed potatoes, sauerkraut with caramelized onions. Simple and very filling to the stomach. Home-made Apple Tart comes with Crushed Almonds, Caramelised Sauce and Vanilla Ice cream. Freshly baked and 20 minutes baking time is required. Voted this for the best desserts among all orders. Served in a hot pan, these paper thin crust had packed our last dish with cracking bites! Shiok!Cost: $16 The presentation of Homemade Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese had brought laughter to the table. Served on a plate which reminds me of a tile from a renovation warehouse I had visited weeks ago, I thought this idea was crazy, nevertheless, I still find it innovative.The dish was adorn with fruits like blueberries, raspberry, strawberries with 4 tiny dots of cranberry sauce at each corner, forming an invisible square. Carrot Cake was fragrant and not that oily with nuts and carrots crunch. A small ball of coconut ice-cream with coconut flakes was included too.A special moment done up for the birthday girl. Take a look at the video.I always think that having French Food in Singapore is costly. Amazingly, with the eminence of Chef Kenny Yeo, French Cuisine had been make wallet friendly, saving us from burning a hole in the pocket. I was rather surprised that the place was near empty considering that those dishes whipped out by reputable Chef Kenny Yeo was exquisite. It's really a hidden Gem in the west. For such quiet ambiance, this is a perfect spot to romance your date on weekends if this style floats your boat.Do remember to make reservations for weekdays especially.

With the kitchen helmed by Executive Chef Kenny Yeo whose credentials boast of a 3-star Michelin Restaurant in France, Les Amis as well as Tables By The Bay, it is safe to say that your craving for French cuisine will be very much satisfied here. Reservations are an absolute must as lunch times are mostly fully booked and dinner time a tad quieter and appropriate for that special night out.Service is attentive without being intrusive and special requests such as a birthday dessert platter are usually accommodated. It was indeed a lovely experience dining here at 2fifteen as the service staff try their utmost to make you feel at home and well looked after. Chef Kenny too is often seen outside the kitchen, talking to customers and finding out if they had enjoyed their food.Prawn Cappellini in Aromatic Oil $26A delightful burst of colours and aromas, this Prawn Cappellini reminded me a little of the Angel Hair Pasta served at Saveur with its signature style of twirling the pasta like a cannoli on the plate. Taste wise, it was a fusion of East meets West especially with the touch of spring onions added as garnishing. The prawns were fresh and sweet, pairing off well with pasta that was cooked al dente. Could hardly fault this one.Pan-seared Cod Mignon with Crab Meat & Leek Veloute $38A beautiful cut of Cod that was fatty, moist and smooth and the white flesh simply melted in our mouths. Absolutely adored the mash that was sitting under the Cod which was hardly grainy and had that lovely buttery consistency. Definitely one for the fish fans.Crispy Duck Confit from Périgord, Medley of Mesclun, Balsamic Vinaigrette $36I personally adored the Duck Confit which ticked all the boxes for me. A crispy well browned exterior with a cured meat that was poached wonderfully in its fat. While the others found the duck meat a tad too salty especially with the browned gravy, I obviously did not agree and cleaned it to its bone. Chunked potatoes served on the side too had a nice herb seasoning and roasted just right.Seafood penne, cod fillet, sea prawns and baby clams in chopped tomatoes pronto herb sauce $20This was unfortunately a disappointment for us even though it came highly recommended by the servers. The tomato herb sauce was a little flat and the penne to seafood ratio was off, with the latter being overwhelmed by the latter.Dessert Platter $34The staff at 2fifteen were very accommodating when they knew that the dinner was going to be a birthday surprise. They even added a sparkling candle to a dessert platter which they specially put together which was a lovely touch and I had a very surprised and happy best friend when it was all over. Especially enjoyed the petit madeleines with a berry burst and the mango passionfruit combination of the macarons.Overall, dinner here at 2fifteen Kitchen is an enjoyable affair in a cosy and comfortable setting. Be sure to make your reservations as the restaurant can only hold a maximum of 45 people. I would personally recommend dropping by for their set lunches which are a lot more affordable, though the setting and tranquility of an evening here easily makes it perfect for a date night.

I took steak for the first time and so far i quite like it. the only thing i dont like is, i feel the salt is not evenly spread as there are some part of the beef that taste slightly salty than otherfor desert, we are supposed to have brownie but the manager is super kind to give us ice cream as we are too stuffed for cakes. =Pwe also ordered seafood pasta and grill chicken for sharing.food : ***1/2customer service : ***1/2price : *** ( on average is about 60 plus per pax after discount using citibank credit card)

I like eating snails. If done right, they can be really yummy and nutritional. I ordered the escargots on toast and found it really good, with the toast well baked instead of being soggy. Ask the server to serve separate the cranberry vinaigrette if you don't like such stuff. I also ordered the prawn capellini which is like a form of pasta. Not too bad except that the ingredients were less than generous

I was given promotional flyers for their weekday set lunch, so I decided to give this place a try. Thankfully they put up signboards to direct customers, else it's quite hard to find the place if it's your first time there. Granted, if you are looking for a quiet place, this is quite a good venue for chilling out. The interior is decorated with wood paneling and is rather comfy & classy at the same time. 2 of us opted for the 2-course menu ($24++) , choosing an appetizer and a main course each.- Complimentary breadWe were offered 4 small slices of toasted bread (from a French Loaf, I believe) with unsalted butter. Bread was nothing special although it was nicely toasted. The butter was not bad, it went well with the bread.- Burgundy Salad, Baby Spinach and Sautéed Mushrooms, Poached Egg and Honey Mustard DressingI liked the burgundy salad (both of us had this). The serving size is small but well, it's an appetizer. I would have preferred the poached egg to be just slightly less watery, but it's still quite lovely nonetheless. The honey mustard dressing was really good, a fine balance between the honey & good mustard used. The mushrooms were nicely sauteed with just the right amount of flavor to it and the poached baby spinach beneath is tender. Recommended!- Close-up of the burgundy salad- Sautéed Milk Fed Veal and Assorted Mushroom Cream Sauce and PastaFor the veal pasta, the spaghetti was cooked till al dente in a light-tasting cream sauce with a hint of wine. The assorted mushrooms tasted good but I was a bit disappointed by the veal. I had hoped it will be more tender or juicy but it's like regular slightly tough beef slices. Generally an ok dish.- Pan-fried Whole Rainbow Trout, Brown Butter and Capers, Mashed PotatoesHmmm couldn't place any special taste to the brown butter. Perhaps it was used to pan fry the trout? The trout was fresh but tasted just like a regular pan-fried normal fish, nothing special. In fact, my dining companion who had this found it to be too dry and would have much preferred to have some sauce over the trout. It's my first time tasting capers - they look like really tiny green peas and have a sharp taste to it similar to a pickled green olive. Again, another ok dish.Generally, with the exception of the burgundy salad appetizer, the rest of the dishes were just ok-tasting, nothing fantastic. You can still give the place a try for the ambience and also the good service provided by the wait staff. Supposedly the lunch set is priced at a affordable rate, but I still think it's a bit pricey - maybe the standard I set was too high for this price range, I guess.
