No Signboard, Jumbo, International, Long Beach, etc. Singapore seafood restaurants are huge. As a matter of fact, I am not into these huge Disney-land type restaurants where bigger is better. This is not snobbism. Then you have place like Sin Huat with great seafood but mediocre service and not up to par ambiance and at times, your patience run out. At least, Matar Rd. Seafood BBQ, is in a food centre where you don't expect any service but end up having great seafood with hawker ambiance and price-I kinda like that, but at times you want to eat seafood at a restaurant. But when you're a restauranteur with passion for food, you don't want a restaurant with 400 covers a day. No thanks to celebrity-oriented high class hotel restaurant either. You don't want to dine at a restaurant where they evidently discriminate you with the celebrities. You don't want to dine at a restaurant where they treat you as if unwanted. I would like to go to a restaurant where you are treated not as a loyalty but like a family -like bistro or trattoria. Restaurant is not just a place to eat. It is a place to restore one's mind and soul, hence the word restaurant (from the word restore). That, to me is an ideal restaurant. If you have a cozy seafood place with not too posh but more like a neighbourhood bistro/trattoria ambiance, I would love to dine there myself -where service staff remember you by name and know your favorites and dislikes.
