Mountbatten Room

This is the fine dining restaurant at the British Club and its a quiet and elegant place for a nice sit down civilized dinner. The food is seriously slightly above average. Good but not great. I won't rave about it nor will I hanker to head back again. 

A shame though. It has the right ambience and table setting with the expected English stuffiness provided by the service staff. They try but let slip a waitress that's from mainland China. So this is what is wrong with this restaurant. It get some bits right but other bits quite wrong. So you walk away feeling like something is amiss. For example the food. In either servings of appetizer or entree, some components are done well but others were like an after thought. Especially if it's not the main star of the dish eg pickled cabbage. Chefs must realize every component of the dish must be as good as the other. Otherwise diners are simply going on a roller coaster ride. Brilliance overshadowed by bad moments of executional flaws. For all the accolades it won, it has a lonnnggggg way to go before it can be a truly fine dining restaurant worth going back to.
