This was my first time dining at Tīng with my partner, and it was a brilliant experience. The dishes were delicious but also well presented, and the dessert was a lovely finish. The service was excellent, attentive throughout. The only thing missing was being seated next to the window, but we were aware this wasn’t guaranteed, so it wasn’t an issue. Thank you for a memorable meal!
