My girlfriend took me to Asiate on my birthday on a Saturday night. We had been to the MoBar before which is across from the restarant and I had always wanted to come back and dine at Asiate. She was able to get reservations 2 weeks in advance and we were seated with a view of the city although unable to get a table window side. May have had a better chance if we had requested this in advance. We both had the 3 course pre-fixe which is about $75 per person along with a couple of drinks. A spring tasting menu ($100/person and with wine paitings $180/person) is also available. Needless to say the total bill was $248 before tip. They brought us about 4 sample dishes from the kitchen during our meal, most of which was mediocre or less in quality. For apps I had the prawns which were average and she had the crab which was good. For the main course had the beef which was good and my girfriend had the seabass which was also good. For desert the chohcolate with sorbet is great! Overall the atmosphere is wonderful most of which is the view. Make sure you are seated close to the window. You don't have to be right against the window but you have to be at least a couple tables away. If you are seated in the first or second row of tables it is not the same experience at all. The service was good and the place wasn't overly stuffy. Overall the food is average to good, service is good but one criticism is that the menu is somewhat limited for a la carte dining. There wasn't even a chicken dish on the menu when we went. I think it is defintely worth trying once on an occasion but whether I would go back is uncertain.
Pros: View
Cons: Limited menu selection, average to good food overall
