Located at Vivocity, I finally decided to make a visit here after hearing about their value lunches, and true to form, they do have some good deals there.

I decided to go for the Roasted Beef Set ($16.50). This comes with a small bowl of cream of mushroom soup, fizzy drink, milo ice cream and two large slices of steak. Parts of it were a little chewy but at this price point, one really cannot complain.

Service was a little patchy, and it was hard to get attention at times, even though it was quite adequately staff.

Disappointing food, but service was ok. Their recommended Provencal Porkloin was one of the dish that puts me off. Porkloin was hard to slice and bite, and their chicken wings does not seems to have any marination, and tasted probably like what e could have gotten outside at a much cheaper price.

But ambience wise was not bad, and seems classy to host some informal business gathering. Probably good for some chillouts after work, with some alcoholic drinks to drink the night away.

On several screens in the restaurant, the movie Beowulf was screened in a continuous loop. The gory scenes did not make a good accompaniment to the meal at all.

I was the last of my party to arrive, and I had to remind the waitress to give me a plate, although I was clearly the only one without a place setting.

I asked for mustard (actually I asked what kinds of mustard they had) and was told to wait while the serving staff checked - I thought this would be fundamental knowledge in a restaurant that served a lot of red meat dishes..? To be fair, the waitress then took the initiative to present a small bowl of chilli sauce, after we received the mustard,

There was a lot of rib bones, mussel and prawn shells to discard, but our serving plates were way too small and filled up quickly. The serving staff did not offer to change our plates nor offer additional ones so we could empty our discarded bones/shells off our own plates. We requested the extra plates.

It was only about halfway through our meal that we got serviettes - and this we had to request from the serving staff.

The live music (and the piped music) was at odds with the decor or theme of the restaurant. I am sure that generic medieval music CDs/MP3s are not that hard to find.

The food itself was not too bad, but unmemorable. In any case, the food was overshadowed by the above comments.
