THE GRILL ROOM AT THE OYSTER BOX HOTEL

BEST FOR Special celebrations. FOOD This is a grand dining experience with Gueridon (trolley) service, where waiters prepare some menu items tableside, such as charcoal-grilled chateaubriand with flamed mushrooms in a rich Béarnaise sauce. A dish of prawns with burnt lime and a spicy habanero-and-coriander sauce is a delight. The Earl Grey smoked salmon is infinitely delicate, served with an unctuous truffle risotto, crisp bacon, parmesan tuille and a creamy white-wine sauce. The Oyster Box is renowned for its fine curries, and the selection includes a delicious butter chicken, KwaZulu-Natal lamb and Singaporean fish curry. Don’t skip the desserts: crêpes Suzette will be flambéed tableside, and the vanilla-bean-and-raspberry mousse with guava gel, sorbet and sugared rose petals is sublime. DRINKS They have an extensive wine list and an experienced sommelier. SERVICE Enjoy the tableside silver service from a well-managed team. AMBIENCE True grand style in all aspects.
