Being one of the top on my wishlist for a place to intern at (back then), I made a reservation at Rockpool Bar & Grill when my folks were here on a visit back in July.
The interior of the restaurant itself is quite impressive – high ceiling, large dinning floor area, very decent-sized open kitchen and all (and very very dimly-lit too).
However, not all dishes were impressive and very much less so their plating. Here’s sharing a couple of dishes which we enjoyed and would consider ordering again —
SEARED KING PRAWN WITH GOAT CHEESE TORTELLINI, BURNT BUTTER, PINE NUTS & RAISINS ($32) – very impressed with how beautifully-wrapped the tortellinis are.
CRISPY ROCK FLATHEAD ($49) – Perfectly executed. According to mom…the best fish she has ever tasted. However, I am not sure if the plating of the dish did justice to it.
Overall, a place to go to for quality food at a price – great for business dinners. However, do not expect anything fancy.
