The River House Western Restaurant & Lounge

[Environment] I like Zhizhi Restaurant in Minshan Hotel the most. The best review is given to the special children's play area. It is really suitable for young children and family dining out. You can leave your child in the play area to play by himself.

Overall it's good, it's an old hotel, the food is definitely different from the new mid- to high-end restaurants, but the location is good, the scenery is good, the Chinese restaurant business is good, it's worth coming. I saw that there are also many people who come here to celebrate their anniversaries. Not bad.

The 24-year-old Minshan Hotel has undergone a new renovation. Its design is rich in Bashu cultural elements and has an international perspective. Its magnificent lobby, meticulous and warm service, and authentic cuisine are deeply loved by the public, especially for newlyweds to hold weddings. Look, another couple got married here today. The hotel is located on Section 2 of Renmin South Road, close to Jinjiang Hotel Station on Metro Line 1.

The environment of The River House Restaurant is basically the same as that of Minshan, and it is also a little old. Although it is located on the 21st floor, with a wide view and huge glass windows, the light always feels a little lacking. The cleanliness is still quite good, and the tableware is also meticulously maintained. We chose 2 398. Pre-meal bread: handmade whole wheat bread, the bread crust is crispy and tough, and the taste is good. Appetizer: Caesar salad with freshly grilled prawns: Visually, this appetizer salad looks good, with green romaine lettuce, cheese and bread cubes, and a grilled prawn with an attractive color. The taste is fresh and crispy, and the salad dressing has a light sour taste of capers, which is very appetizing. The only drawback is that the prawns are loose and old, not delicate and elastic enough! Low-temperature Australian beef: This dish uses beef as an appetizer. Low-temperature cooking keeps the Australian beef tender and juicy. It is paired with a special Sichuan-style Italian vinaigrette. The combination of Chinese and Western flavors is very down-to-earth. The vegetables are arugula, which has a light bitter taste. It is still very appetizing in taste. Soup: Cream of mushroom soup: Added black pine mushroom fragments, it has a strong aroma and high business value. The taste is too strong, especially with a pepper-like irritation in the mouth! I personally like this taste more, and the rich cream mushroom aroma makes people appetite. Beef clear soup: high appearance, beef is slightly chewy, but it is not difficult. The soup looks light but still tastes rich. Before the main course, 2 ice creams were served to cleanse the mouth. As the famous leading lady of this restaurant: pepper ice cream! Its performance is too mediocre. First of all, the presentation is ordinary Secondly, the quality of the ice cream is ordinary, and the granularity of the ice slag is extremely obvious, which is not related to the word delicate. Once again, the pepper ice cream only had a slight numbing taste after the mouth, not strong enough, and it felt that the form was more important than the content. As an ice cream with a 398 set meal, the quality is really disappointing. Main course: Pan-fried cod with seasonal seafood: The cod is paired with mussels and asparagus. As a main dish, the dish is beautifully presented. The portion is relatively ordinary and suitable for girls. Overall, this main dish is slightly greasy, and the cod meat is not tender enough. The most ridiculous thing is that the mussels taste weird, of course not spoiled, it feels like it is not handled properly, with a slight fishy smell. Charcoal grilled fillet beef: I think this main dish is the peak of the whole meal, and it is worth the price. 50% mature beef, which locks in the sufficient juice of the beef, and the tenderness of the meat is also very good. The matching red wine sauce and mashed potatoes add flavor and layers to the beef. The portion is exquisite. Napoleon: Classic, crispy and tough puff pastry, with a strong aroma of nuts and walnuts. I like this one. Lemon tart: It is said that there are only 5 servings per day. The appearance of the dish is too low. The whole lemon is hollowed out, the surface lemon peel is candied, and cream, grapefruit flesh and lemon sauce are added inside! This dessert gives me a sour feeling! People who like sour food can try it, and others should be careful. Overall, the service of the restaurant is very good, the details are touching and remarkable. The speed of serving the dishes is a little slow

The Sichuan pepper ice cream has a light Sichuan pepper flavor, and the taste is unique. The fillet steak and rib eye were both cooked to perfection, especially the rib eye, which was intoxicating. The lobster tasted like Thai cuisine, which was OK. The portion was large, and there was also dessert. I had to lean on the wall to eat it.

Very good dining experience. Just don't like the presentation of Western food. A lot of delicious condiments are sprinkled on the edge of the plate, what a waste!
