Taken from their Facebook page: "Few places come close to capturing the spell of the ocean like Bait. 

This restaurant bar is designed so diners can enjoy culinary delights in casual sophistication.

 The menu stars only the freshest of ingredients that are delicately served to perfection.

From Seared Rock Cod to Lager Steamed Mussels, Bait is a cure for all cravings, coupled with a tempting wine and cocktail list and attentive service; 

Bait is a dining venue that needs little persuasion."

Stuffed Squid- Grilled squid stuffed with chorizo, served with salsa verde and roasted cherry tomatoes

This was SO good. Juicy, flavourful and so delicious.

Chorizo Pasta- Spaghetti with chorizo, tossed with a light cream/tomato sauce

 This dish was tasty too and comes in a good portion.

Butter Poached Salmon

Another delicious dish. Everything we had was good and the other diners around us were notably happy with their food too.

Coconut & Gula Melaka Gelato

Coconut ice cream or gelato (or any coconut dish/dessert!) should always come with an indication if it is laced with dessicated coconut or not. I am not a fan of the gritty flakes and almost always avoid ordering dishes with this ingredient. Aside from that, the gelato tasted really nice and refreshing.

I like BAIT! Their wait staff are polite and attentive, not hawk-like at all and actually know the items on the menu well enough to recommend dishes convincingly.

Would definitely be back for more, especially the squid!
