Menotti .. The place that do not serve ice water


Went to Menotti for dinner with 2 friends last night, expected it to be much bigger and spacious ... turned out to be small and cramped ... and loud and noisy ... There are actually 2 entrances ... I believe the main one should be by the road facing north bridge ... you gotta walked past bakerzin first ... the other one is actually inside Espirit boutique within Raffles City

Settled for the set dinner in the end ... you can choose a appetizer, main course, desserts and kopi/teh ... I took the "spinach and crab" soup for appetizer ... you can choose caesar salad or beef carpaccio ( pieces of beef on a salad, suppose to be raw, not sure if this one is raw ) ... Had the sole fillet for the main course ... you can choose pasta or veal scaloppine also ... here comes the best part ... desserts ! Any pastry or 2 scoops of gelato ... hmmmmm ... the pastries looked awfully nice ... but ice cream still the best !

Spinach never taste so nice ( Except for Popeye ) ... of course this was soup based ... definitely other ingredients and the crab make it taste better ... the fillet was quite nice ... actually served on top of a chunk of mashed potato ... drenched with mash potato sauce all over it ...

The gelato was smooth ... like sherbet ... the rum n raisin is good ... the other flavour I had was some chocolate ... so so ... taste like rochere ... bill was around $35 per person ... not cheap ... will be more expensive if u go ala-carte ... Food wise .. I ll give a 7 .. Service mah 6 .. Value for money leh 6

Maybe they should start serving ice water ..........
