Food is generally good and inventive, but the price is completely out of sync with what it is. We really enjoyed the pork dishes and the bone marrow but they cost as if they were prime rib steak. The aubergine laksa was mediocre at best. To top it off we had to for some reason fight to get a normal chair as opposed to a very uncomfortable stool even though all other tables had chairs
