Atmosphere 

I would call it fine dining as the prices are up there. The lights are dimmed and I would say that this place is quite romantic. I would've personally preferred a tea light candle on each table. The place is quite elegant and it will be a place where you might want to dress up a little before going.

Experience 

Service was good and they even provided complimentary bread which was nice and soft. I still cant figure out why the bread had a tinge of salt. It wasn't bad but I haven't ever tried bread with a salty taste to it. Bistro Felix has a bar and a wide selection of wine. Most people there seem to order wine with their meals. I would've enjoyed some too but unfortunately I don't appreciate wine.

The downside of the experience was that I could hear the chefs from the kitchen. It wasn't pleasant when you can hear a chef telling off another chef while having your meal!! We weren't even seated directly next to the kitchen either.

If you do plan to go on a weekend, make sure you make a reservation in advance. I tried a few times making a reservation for the weekend probably about 2 days in advance but they were booked out by then. We eventually went on a weekday while we walked past and we managed to get a table without a reservation.


Food

We had the Margaret River wagyu rump, frites, cafe de paris butter with mash potato. For dessert we had the Bobe Alaska. Te wagyu was average and I would've preferred more sauce. The down side was that the food wasn't hot and rather cold. The mash potato was below average as it wasn't smooth. I found the dessert better then the main. It was the first time I had tried the Bombe Alaska so I won't comment on it too much as I am unsure of what to expect from it. However, I found it quite pleasant.

Overall, the food was average and if you go, you are paying for the atmosphere and service. If you have the entertainment book, then remember to bring it as it will save you on the cost of one main. Luckily, we had the entertainment book or else it would've costed us a fortune.

Atmosphere

This Korean restaurant is situated inside a suburban local shopping center complex. It was quite spacious inside the restaurant unlike other Korean restaurants which are usually really small and tiny.

Experience

Overall, the price was reasonable and the dishes werea standard size. The service was good although it was relatively quite (I think it is because the place is still new). We were asked  if we wanted refills for the side dishes. Unlike other Korean restaurants, they usually charge you for refills for the side dishes but I don't think this restaurant had extra charges for the refill. We also got free dessert, which was a red bean dessert with sago. 

Food 

The Dumplings and the Spicy Pork was quite delicious. The Dumplings were golden brown and crispy. However, I wasn't a big fan of the Tofu soup with the Kimichi and pork as I found it a bit spicy.

I wouldn't say it was terrible and I am sure other people would like it but I personally didn't think it was my kind of dish. The mains came with rice and side dishes.
