Amuse bouche – the bottom one tasted like a cruller, shrimp taco on the right, and some type of tart (tasted like a tart filled with milk). Overall, nothing special.
2nd pic – their mushroom “tea”. Similar to mushroom stock and very rich in mushroom flavor. As a mushroom lover, I really enjoyed this. The bread with the shaved mushroom was alright.
3rd pic – bread and butter. The sliced bread on the right was hard and stale. The cruffin on the left was alright. Butter was alright. Overall disappointed and turned down seconds.
4th pic – uni on top of crispy prawn. The prawn wasn’t crispy and tasted greasy. I love uni, but this was disappointing.
5th pic – caviar on a mussel cloud. Not sure what the mussel cloud is. Essentially just tasted like caviar on some heavy whipping cream.
6th pic – scallop crudo with a horse radish sauce garnished with dill. Not bad but not memorable.
7th pic – rosemary smoked egg. I don’t understand the concept of this dish. It was overshadowed by its gimmicky dry ice show. It was so unmemorable, I can’t even describe it.
8th pic – abalone with foie gras topped with pork broth. Im typically not a foie gras person due to its overpowering gameyness, but this one wasnt overpowering. The Abalone was tender. One of the stars of the night.
9th – blue lobster with beurre blac. Lobster was cooked to perfection. The problem I had with this dish was the sauce. It was very sweet for some reason, like butter cooked with brown sugar.
10th- their signature pigeon cooked medium rare. Pretty much a gamey bird similar to duck. Reminds me of Cantonese roasted squab in terms of flavor.
11 – passion fruit sorbet on top of sobacha (closest thing I can compare this to is granola). One of the stars of the night.
12 -deconstructed tiramisu.
13 – more desserts. Bottom is a marshmallow dusted with matcha – didn’t care for this. Right – fruits imported from Japan. I’ve been to Japan and had some of their top tier designer fruits, and this was not it. Tasted just like any ordinary fruit you can get on the shelf at your average grocery store. Forgot the name of the top pastry, but it was difficult to chew and tasted burnt. Left – another milked filled tart. Didn’t care for any of these.
Price was about 450 USD. Service was great. The food came out in a timely manner. Water was always topped off. Odette was very middle of the pack for me. I rate it a 6/10.

I am curious about this taco and having difficulty picturing scale. It looks like the size of someone’s pinky or is that just the angle?
