Service was excellent. The concept & presentation of dishes is outstanding. The taste & execution not so great. Our appetizer of burrata & tomato salad was delicious. The main dish was stuffed chicken & unfortunately, it was extremely dry, overcooked & with a high acidity content which made the plate difficult to eat. I don't recommend this restaurant.

Went to dine at this restaurant tonight which is located in our hotel. The staff were amazing & kept filing our drinks, even when it was water. The food, wow....it was delicious! From the octopus, to the scallops, to the meats & desserts, we just couldn't stop eating. The ambiance was warm & welcoming. The went the extra mile to make the kids & adults to feel special. Can't wait to return for some more!!! Shawn & Electra & Kids

Le Carré is a fine place to get a nice dinner if you're around. Service in English was great, & all around I felt very attended to. Staff were professional & knew what they were talking about. The food was good, though some plates were a little dated. I think the chef needs to relax on the microgreens on the next menu overhaul, they were on every dish we had (even the lemon pie dessert!). We ordered the charred broccoli as an appetizer, which was very tasty, though the broccoli could use a little time in a steamer perhaps as they were a touch hard. Flavours on the plate were very good, well thought out. Probably a 3.5/5 (mainly due to the micros, & only getting 2 pieces of grilled peach [one of which still had a piece of pit on!]) I had the grilled octopus as my main, & it was wonderful. The octopus literally melted in my mouth. The corn salad was very good as well, but I feel the chorizo could have been incorporated into the dish better, it provided & excellent salty/spicy component to the dish, but the grilled bias cut seems a little out of place considering the general „fanciness" of the place. 4.5/5 My wife got the gnocchi (she's vegetarian & it's the only vegetarian main on the menu, definitely room for improvement there), & I was genuinely surprised at the quality. Very very flavourful. Once again the plating could use some touching up, but when the food tastes that good, it doesn't really matter. 5/5 Finally, we shared a piece of lemon „pie". This was more of a deconstructed tart than a pie, & probably the biggest miss of the dinner. Flavour-wise was very good. The curd was luxuriously smooth, & the „exotic salsa" (a mélange of brunoise mango & other yellow fruit that I couldn't place) was really tasty. Unfortunately the base crust of the „pie" wasn't very good. The menu listed it as „short bread" & while technically true, turned out as more resembling the dry cookie part of a Jaffa cake than anything I would consider a „short bread" in the context of a lemon tart/pie. Also, just a massive bunch of undressed microgreens on the plate. What purpose did they serve? I ate them, & can tell you they served 0 purpose. Had it been a sprig of mint it would still be a dated plate, but at least the mint tastes like stuff. 2.5/5 (for $15, I was unimpressed) Overall, good! Though a bit pricey. With 2 drinks, our total was $160, but the service did make up for it a bit. Be warned! This restaurant is attached to a hotel, so if you're looking for a nice, quiet, adults-only dinner, maybe look elsewhere

Such a hidden jam with amazing food & great service. We had a beef carpaccio & shrimp form starters. The carpaccio was amazing & I like it slightly better than shrimp. For the mains we followed our waiter recommendation & went with swordfish tataki & duck pasta. Both dishes were amazing. We were not able to decide the winner, so I would recommend take both.

The place we not packed & we got a nice table straight away. The service was excellent, the food was not so good. The Shrimp were overcooked & didn't seem fresh from their taste. My girlfriend ordered the Salmon & I the Lamb. Hers was not fresh & served raw after marinating in citrus overnight, the lamb was cooked 3 was none of which done to my liking. The waiter sent hers back & the gave her another piece of filet. Mine got cold whilst I waited for hers to return which did make it better. The chef apologized & we finished eating. We opted not to order dessert.
