The Prime Society @Dempsey

We've always wanted to visit this place, having heard about their steaks. And here we are today. There are quite a few entrances, and we loved the main one, because there's a fridge with all sorts of meat hanging. The whole interior is what I'd call, grandeur. High ceilings, beautiful glass windows, elegant seats and tables, tasteful decorations hanging around. And, well, lots of fans. It could get a tad windy at certain seats.

The menu is simple and straightforward, the mains are around $30-ish, while the steaks range from $65 to $88, and climbs higher for larger cuts. Surprisingly, they serve pretty affordable wines to go with your steaks and there's a long list of such for you to choose from if you request.

The cute, little bun came first. Yes, one cute, little bun for each of us. With salt and butter, they're good to stop your tummy for growling for awhile.

Tree Lizard @Dempsey- Never again...

This place has full of lizards. Both fake ones and real ones, small and big ones. It can't be blamed, after all it is situated at the extreme end of Dempsey, opposite of La Fondue, and beside The Disgruntled Chef. The interior is really aloha-changi-chalet-like. White walls with a few pieces of lizard deco (fakes!), ceiling fans and even a wall-mounted LED TV playing Channel 5! A super homely feeling. There seems to be a second floor, but we sat at the first floor, where there's mostly high stools and high tables. More like a bar setting than a proper restaurant.
Service Servers were friendly and very helpful, recommending us dishes and serving us iced water without much ado. The Food For the price paid, quality of food & ambiance in Dempsey area... I'll suggest trying other places in the vicinity, where they're plenty of other options.

Tenderloin Steak ($29.90)

Tenderloin Steak ($29.90) Tenderloin was smaller than the cod fillet... Too hard and difficult to chew. It was supposed to be their signature dish. We asked for rare, but it was like medium. Side dishes were not filling at all. Just 4 pieces of fried zucchini and one spoon of mash potatoes. Cod Fillet ($28.90)
Cod Fillet ($28.90) Fish is nicer as compared to tenderloin, a fairly large portion as well. The lemon juice (or sauce?) provided a good companion. Just 4 pieces of fried zucchini.
However, as I said, for the price paid after the GST & service charge (a total of $69 for 2 pax), I will not visit here again for neither food and ambiance...

The Disgruntled Chef @Dempsey

I love this place. It's a place that's hiding on the lower grounds of Dempsey, with contemporary interiors. The servers know their stuff well, and have good service as well.
The food is slightly on the more expensive end, as with all places in Dempsey. This place serves good food though!
Baked Bone Marrow ($26)

Duck Cassoulet ($34)

Andalusian Cauliflower with Capers and Parsley ($8)
Roquefort Magnum ($10) Roquefort & Honey Ice-Cream, Dark Chocolate Coating
I'd definitely recommend this for romantic dinners and an super intimate girls night out... Will be back again and update this post! ------------------
