My overriding impression was a restaurant taking a very cheap basic ingredient (mussels) and then cooking them wrongly and sending them out for top-$.
It is a shame because a good bowl of mussels is a wondrous thing (we had some in Europe recently at a beer-hall, vast bowls, about 2kgs each!, at euro12). I appreciate the question is getting them on a night out... but I'd remind mussel lovers in SG that Cold Storage stocks fresh green-lips at $2.25 a kilo. Talk about value for money, and cooking them at home means you can get them just right. On a number of occasions I've cleaned out Cold Storage, broken out my lobster pot and cooked up a trawler load of green-lips with a couple of fresh baguettes for a cheap easy and delicious communal hands on dinner with friends.
A restaurant that can't cook it's signature dish correctly is a real bug-bear for me. It's like an Italian that overcooks it's pasta [basement, City Hall]. There's no going back... as such.
I was lead to believe one was at Robertson the other on the East Coast Park ?sundaymorningstaple wrote:I'd have to say the one on Robertson Quay as it's right on the river and also in the Quays where there are other nightspots so no need to drive from one to the other to make a night of it.

Ignoring the kind of people who seem happy just eating anything, look at what the critics have to say. hmmm ...
