Was happy to learn about the new Marina One, so suggested to my colleagues to try this restaurant out.
The six of us ordered the grill selection and the seafood trio to share, and our own starters.
1. We were expecting a meat feast. Meat was OK, but with surprisingly tiny portion.
2. Seafood was consistently tiny, and not fresh.
3. My Hassun starter had a nice setting, but the actual food was embarrassing.
4. The potato wedges in truffle oil has zero taste of truffle.
5. For dessert, I ordered apple crumble. What I had was really apple pie.
6. For a place known for its steaks, they serve fine salt...
It is certainly pricy, so you would at least justify that with good service...
7. The Caucasian waiter poured water for me. Water spilled out. And he did not bother to wipe it.
8. After one of us tried the wine, the Asian waiter filled half of his huge wine glass, did the same for another male colleague, we were watching and jaw dropped (we only ordered one bottle). He was soon reminded by his superior and started to be cautious with the amount he poured. He took for granted that I am a female and I probably don't drink, and poured the amount that just covered the lower tip of my glass. Even after I pointed it out, he did not find anything wrong, and there was no apology from any of them. I was not even complaining about the order yet...The last of us only got probably one twentieth of the first two guys' amount.
9. My colleague sent back an empty plate, asking for one without water stain. They came back with one having exactly the same problem.
Well, at least the toilet is clean up to standard, always cheers me up...
