49 Seats has re-opened at The Centerpoint after the closure of their 3 other branches at Orchard Central, Bugis and Kreta Ayer. No longer just a 49 seater restautant, it has occupied quite a big space in Centerpoint opposite Mak's Noodles.
The restaurant was having a National Day promotion for the month of August. With every set meal ordered, smoked duck aglio oglio, carbonara and cheesy fries can be ordered at $5.20 nett each. With such a great promo, it has indeed attracted quite a no. of customers.
We ordered their popular fish and chips with tom yum sauce set. The set costs $21.80 and it comes with 1 drink and mushroom soup.
The soup with garlic bread was ordinary. There are 4 sides to choose from: fries, mashed potato, garden salad and pasta salad. We opted for the 2 salads since we had ordered cheesy fries. The fish and chips portion was huge with generous sides. The fish fillet was fresh and crispily fried. The tom yum sauce accompanying it added spice to the fish. Rating: 3.8/5
At $5.20 each, we ordered their smoked duck aglio oglio and cheesy fries. The smoked duck aglio oglio was good in general but failed to have the aglio oglio taste. Lacking the garlicky taste and spice. Rating: 3.2/5. Cheesy fries looks good but the taste was flat. The fries were cold and soft and drizzled with too much nacho cheese. Was a little disappointed with the dish despite other very positive reviews. Rating: 3/5
The dishes are not subjected to gst and service charge, thus 49 Seats has always been very popular with teenagers and young adults. Overall restaurant ambience was comfortable but could do better with their cutlery as the bowls are easily toppled over.
