It was the 2nd anniversary of my relationship with my gf. We decided to celebrate it by having a cuisine, which we never had it before: french cuisine. We chose this place as it is located at Rochester area, which was touted to be quiet and peaceful for couple dating.On that day, after our work has ended, we made our way towards the restaurant. It was not too far away from the Buona Vista mrt station, around 10-12mins way. Along the way, you will pass by Rochester Mall.Upon reaching the restaura
On that day, after our work has ended, we made our way towards the restaurant. It was not too far away from the Buona Vista mrt station, around 10-12mins way. Along the way, you will pass by Rochester Mall.
Upon reaching the restaurant, it was indeed quiet and peaceful. Only 4-5 tables are taken up. As I have made a reservation beforehand, they have gave us a table at a quiet corner. Complimentary ice water was given too
The menu has quite a good variety of dishes to choose from, from bites, starters, soup to main course and desserts. Wine is also available, if u are in the mood to drink.
First dish is the Seared Scallop ($16.80). It is pan seared Hokkaido scallops, with tomato relish and crabmeat. The scallops were quite meaty. They were seared well, without being overcooked
Next came the Nicoise Salad ($14.80). It is a garden salad, filled with boiled potatoes, hard boiled eggs, capsicum, fine beans, black olives, white anchovies, topped with seared smoked tuna with french dressing. The salad uses fresh leaves and toppings. Tuna is smoked well too . Portion is sufficient for the 2 of us to have some greens before we go onto our main courses.
Next came our bowl of soup ($11.80). It is the French onion soup. We chose this, because this is a French restaurant. It should be their signature soup. It has a strong onion taste, which is quite overbearing for us. The serving size for the bowl of soup is quite small, since it is priced more than $10. I have expected a bigger size or some good ingredients inside it.
For main course, I have ordered Tuna Steak ($25.80). It is a flame-kissed tuna, which comes with grilled vegetables, tomato and mango salad accompanied with balsamic vinaigrette. I am a big fan of Tuna. So naturally, I would choose this dish. It is a huge chunky piece of tuna, placed on the center of my plate. I guessed it should weigh around 300-400g. The tuna is fresh and cooked perfectly well. Side salad was prepared well, to add on to the taste of tuna.
My gf ordered Seafood Paella Rice ($28.80). It is baked spanish bomba rice, accompanied with sauteed seafood. For this, we do not have high praises for it. The colour of the dish was too yellowish, which makes it look a curry rice. Taste was just average. We didn't finish up the rice too.
For the service, I would not rate highly. It was quite hard to get the attention of the waitress at times. They would stand at a table, which was quite a distance from our table. Nevertheless, the service is still there.
All in all, this restaurant is a good place for couple dating. It is away from the busy city of Singapore. Good for couples to chit chat softly, without raising the voices.
