Red Prawn Tartare $26
A light and refreshing starter that matches the freshness and sweetness of Botan Ebi and Gambero Rosso prawns with the umami pops of Ikura and crunchy watercress bits. A tangy lemon dressing and citrus fruits gives it a zesty lift, while uni and caviar tops it off with a touch of luxe.
Signature Seafood Pasta $28
Made using the rich, oceanic flavours of a housemade seafood stock of lobster and prawns slow cooked for over 2 hours and flambéed with brandy that generously coats the fine strands of homemade Tagliolini. Each plate is studded with mussels, clams, lobster, and baby cuttlefish that are first sautéed then flambéed to tease out the seafood’s natural sweetness without the use of any artificial flavours or enhancers.
Iberico Pork Jowl $38
Marinated for 24 hours with an aromatic blend of herbs and garlic, the nutty and evocative flavours of the Iberian Pig is expertly evoked and grilled to perfection. Pair each succulent bite with the accompanying carrot purée and pistachio nut for another layer of enjoyment.
Scottish Bamboo Clam $36
From one seafood lover to another, Chef Gary introduces this moreish squid ink pasta. Tossed with a fragrant and garlicky sauce using pasta imported directly from Italy, the large and juicy 10-12-inch Scottish Bamboo Clams are simply prepared with a refreshing lemon dressing, coriander and bottarga powder and flambéed with white wine.
Grass-fed Tenderloin $42
Savour the 150-days grass fed Australian tenderloin well-loved for its rich and juicy flavours. The tender steak is chargrilled and served with potato cake, endives, roasted mushrooms, and Dijon mustard and finished with veal juice reduced with red wine.
Iconic Gary’s Garden Salad $26
Inspired by Singapore’s beautiful city skyline of a ‘City in Nature’ come this plated urban garden that combines the freshest seasonal vegetables, US Asparagus, and Heirloom Carrots planted in the grounds of mashed potato “soil”, its earthy look aided by charcoal powder and breadcrumbs. Savour a sprinkling of Truffle Snow, Olive Oil Caviar and seasonal Truffle shavings.
Dessert Platter (Based on choice of dessert)
Indulge in a trio of Gary’s finest treats to round off the meal with a bang. The platter comprises the classic Italian Tiramisu ($16), a smooth and sweet seduction with the injection of Glenfiddich 18-Year-Old whisky or Baileys grounded by Kahlua coffee liqueur, Gary’s Chocolate Lava cake ($16) using 70% decadent dark chocolate with an oozy, molten core and topped with vanilla ice cream, and finally Gary’s Apple Tart ($16) that boasts juicy apple slices and a buttery crust with another scoop of luscious ice cream. An over-the-top sparkler candle tops it all off.
Diners can also opt for the 7-course Italian Omakase from $198++ per pax for a memorable dining experience, where Chef Gary’s creative flair is showcased in the season’s best.
