Atmosphere
Very vibrant. The restaurant is immersed in a beautiful garden (It was possible to dine outside but the weather was very warm) that makes you want to stand up and just take a long walk. Also the whole dining experience is accompanied by live classical music that is worth paying for. However, the decor was a bit dated... the restaurant lacked the luxurious feel that the price was crying for.
Service
Service was not bad... The only problem i had is that, they didn't allow me to taste the wine before ordering them which was a big minus for me. For the price i was paying which was 20 dollars for a glass of wine... it was bullshit
Food
Food was pretentious and awful. They basically had dog food and placed other crap around it to make the food look better than it tasted. The flow of the course had no connection and each flavors were miss matched in every possible way and the meat was over cooked to %@#$ and tasted like rubber. Most disappointingly... the deserts were bought in.. And it was quite obvious. The food here made me want to stand up and take a long walk… maybe that’s why it is in a garden =_=
Price
Price Range $70-$150
This place is a rip off! Only thing that was good was the garden and the music.

Final Comment
WOW seriously... I left the restaurant feeling defrauded. I cannot believe place like this can charge this much money and still be in business. There was nothing Italian about this place.... This place is a big middle figure to the Italian cuisine to call itself an Italian restaurant.
Will I come back? HELL NO

| Mediterranean Appetizer Plate (Halibut Teriyaki, Asparagus with Parma Ham, King Crab Tomato Caprese, Balsamic Baby Onion, Foie-gras Tart, Salmon) - This dish was complete disaster. First off i was totally confused of what to eat first. Second, none of the components really came together. It was like having five separate samplers than an appetizer that is supposed to have some sort of harmony. Each component itself was very weak and something out of those “luncables” I use to have for lunch in elementary school where I put random crap together, but here with exotic ingredients. Also my 5 year old cousin can plate this dish better, all you need to do is hide the ugly parts with Italian parsley ^_^ |

| Chef Special Soup - There was nothing special about the soup. The taste was sweet and sour... i rather have the sweet and sour soup from a Chinese restaurant. At first i thought it was a bowl of cream and piss in front of me. Presentation = extremely dull. |
 |
| Lobster, King Prawn, Sea Scallop - This prawn was the best thing i ate that night... but how can you screw up such an amazing prawn that you can even eat raw. The eggplant on this dish was cooked perfectly. However, the scallops were seared improperly which created a slimy texture which killed my excitement for the whole dish. Also the lobster had barely any meat and it was dry. |
 |
| Australian Beef Tenderloin, Australian Beef Rib Eye, New Zealand Lamb Chop, Grilled Vegetables - Ok.. so.. I swear i had something on this dish that was close to cow's testicles. All the meat was over cooked to !@#!@ and it was tough as rubber. The lamb chop had that district lamb smell to it which was very unpleasant. |
 |
| Selection of Desserts - Bought in deserts... That cheese cake? was dry and the melon wasn't even sweet... it was like chewing through a cardboard. |
