The verdict

Masterchef Braz: "Ambience was average. Voices bouncing off the wall, not sure how Chicken slept through it. Meal size was just right...for a small sized person! Loved the braised cape grim beef short-rib with spring vegetables. Overall: 7/10"

Masterchef C: "Great history and standing in the industry but failed to impress overall. Consistent but not forward thinking. Atmosphere in the restaurant was lacking. Best dish of the night was the sashimi of kingfish with blackbean & orange. Overall: 6/10"

Masterchef Ralph: "Tetsuya is over-hyped...so over-hyped that Chicken fell asleep!"

Masterchef Chicken: "No comment. Slept through the entire meal"
