San Marco At The Lighthouse

If you’re looking for a place for fine dining, this would be a great place. Definitely, you’ll be expecting your meal to cost a bomb at this restaurant at Fullerton ($100 per head on average). But I’ll say it’s worth the money, for the ambience and great service!

A nicely decorated restaurant which gives the feel of a small room, they offer 5-star service and quality food. You have a whole list of wine to select from to go with your meal, but the menu for the main course changes once every few months. If and when they do offer this, I highly recommend the Scallop entrée and Wagyu Beef main course. The Wagyu Beef comes with oxtail with foie gras. The waiter may warn you that it has a really strong taste, but I assure you the oxtail and foie gras was a good combination of 2. The beef I ordered was medium rare, extremely tender! Well it’s Wagyu Beef after all, so it’ll of course be good. The best thing was that the natural taste of the beef was not concealed by anything like mushroom or black pepper sauce.

Alternatively, if you’re a seafood lover there’s always lobster! The lobster is very fresh and crunchy upon chewing. Once again, there was minimal amount of sauce on the plate, thus allowing one to taste the natural sweet flavour of the lobster. This, in my opinion, would be less filling however.

As the place seats only 50 at all times, it allows you to enjoy your meal peacefully. In addition, as San Marco is situated at the top level of Fullerton, you get to enjoy a wonderful view of the sky.. (with an exception of the construction site view). The view may not be extremely awesome, but it sure does beat staring at walls. Perhaps due to the small number of customers at all time, service is efficient too and the waiters are patient and polite. It makes your dining experience even more pleasant.

Great place I’d say! But remember to make reservations.
