Gordon Grill @ Goodwood Park Hotel - New Winter Indulgence Menu Featuring a 1.5kg Wagyu Beef Tomahawk Steak Flambéed Tableside

There’s something about dining at a classic grill restaurant that feels especially fitting during the cooler months - imagine cosy interiors, rich sauces, indulgent ingredients and the occasional tableside theatrics that make the experience feel a little more special. Gordon Grill’s A Winter Indulgence menu leans fully into this mood, offering a comforting yet refined selection that spans land and sea, with premium produce, generous portions, and a touch of old-school charm throughout the meal.

Complimentary Amuse-Bouche 3.8/5

Complimentary Bread Basket 4/5

We started the meal with a complimentary Kimchi Chicken Tartlet as an amuse-bouche and a Bread Basket served with butter. The tartlet was a pleasant opener with a hint of spice, while the bread selection was satisfying and a simple but welcoming start to ease into the meal.

Tsarskaya Oyster 4/5

Tsarskaya Oyster Thermidor 4.2/5

Oysters play a starring role in the Winter Indulgence menu, featuring live Tsarskaya oysters from France presented two ways. Fresh Oysters (6 pcs $58 / 12 pcs $118) were served simply with mignonette sauce and lemon - clean, briny, and refreshing, allowing the natural sweetness of the oysters to shine through.

For the Baked Oysters options (6 pcs $68 / 12 pcs $133), diners can choose between Kilpatrick or Thermidor style. We tried the Thermidor, and it was excellent! Cheesy and creamy, yet not overpowering, striking a good balance while still letting the oysters remain the star. It’s a more indulgent take and one we would happily order again.

Sautéed Chanterelle Mushroom 3.8/5

From the land, we had the Sautéed Chanterelle Mushroom ($29), served with an onsen egg, shaved truffles and natural jus. Beneath it sat a layer of creamy mashed potato. While the flavours were comforting and earthy, the dish leaned heavily towards soft and creamy textures. We found ourselves wishing for a bit more contrast to elevate it further.

Risotto 4.5/5

The Risotto ($29), on the other hand, was very well executed. Made with morel mushrooms and finished with shaved truffles, it was rich yet balanced, with well-cooked grains that retained their structure. This was easily one of the stronger savoury dishes of the night and a comforting choice for truffle lovers.

Wagyu Beef Tomahawk Steak 4.5/5

One of the highlights of the meal was the Wagyu Beef Tomahawk Steak ($372), which comes with an impressive tableside flambé. Cooked medium as recommended, the steak was tender and flavourful, especially the parts with well-rendered fats. It was served with roasted potatoes, baked tomato, sautéed vegetables and red wine jus. A definite dish to share and savour. The other beef option on the menu is the Black Angus Beef Porterhouse Steak ($348), which also looks equally tempting.

Seared Red Emperor Snapper 4/5

From the sea, we tried the Seared Red Emperor Snapper ($38), served with truffle petit pois, fresh maize and split fish jus. The skin was nicely crisp, the fish was fresh and delicate, with clean, restrained flavours. Simple yet well-executed, allowing the quality of the fish to speak for itself. The menu also offers a Pan-Seared Red Grouper ($38) as an alternative seafood option.

Crêpe Suzette 5/5

Desserts were a definite highlight and deserving of full marks. Gordon Grill’s signature Crêpe Suzette ($26) is a must-have, especially for fans of classic French desserts. Flambéed tableside with Cointreau and brandy and served with vanilla bean ice cream, the soft crêpe, soaked in citrusy syrup, was both nostalgic and indulgent. Not many places in Singapore still do this, and I found myself salivating just thinking about it again while writing this.

Morello Cherry Tart 5/5

The Morello Cherry Tart ($18) also impressed us. It may look simple, but the buttery tart shell was so good it left us wanting more, even with already very full stomachs.

Overall, Gordon Grill’s A Winter Indulgence menu is a comforting, well-curated offering that showcases classic flavours with a touch of tableside drama. While some dishes stood out more than others. The Winter Indulgence menu is available till 31 March and is best enjoyed unhurriedly, with good company and a hearty appetite.
