Snazzy dinning down south!
When one mentions fine dining, one usually thinks of stiff chairs, heavily starched white table cloths and napkins, a ton of silverware on the table (and not knowing what most of them are for), the list goes one. Despite having the most delicious food, sometimes the experience and ambience in a typical fine dining restaurant just takes the fine out of eating.
With Studio Kitchen, I opt to think that the dining experience was more of a "snazzy" one being that the environment was stylish and modern, with delicious and exquisitely presented food courses, yet still having a very inviting and warm feeling while dining.

The menu
I like how the menu had first class selections but still being straight to the point..
While waiting..Chorizo bread from the basket
There's a little surprise inside
Don't pass up on the bread basket!
Kudos to the chef for making bread that was delicious and "starter" sized portions
Corn "Chowda"
Creamy corn chowder with a little bit on chunks
plated with a baby corn and proscuitto slices
Simple yet very special!
Seared Tuna
Served with pickled mushrooms, Korean pears, and alfalfa sprouts
the balsamic dressing gave just the right amount of flavor for this starter
Chicken Carbonara
with Proscuitto
Comfort food re-defined!
Short Ribs with Mushroom Rissotto
I liked how both complimented each other.. the ribs had the right amount of spices that highlighted the flavors of the risotto.
The flavour of the risotto was divine but I would've preferred it being cooked a little bit longer
Lapu Lapu topped on Seafood Paella
Amazing!
the mustard was an awesome surprise
Maple Glazed Pork Belly with Chorizo Rice
I really liked everything we ordered but this has to be my favorite of the night
The pork belly was perfectly tender and was graciously sweetened by the maple glaze, not too overpowering)
Studio Kitchen truly deserves a two thumbs up!
I can't wait to go back to try the salmon tartare among other things
(they were sold out by the time we got there so I assume it was really good!)
