Lamaro's never fails to excel. Food & sevice were perfect. We hosted a couple of overseas guests and they were duly impressed. A little quieter than what I am accustomed to, but probably because it was during the holiday period.

The experience we had at Vue de Monde was exceptional! The food, the services, the ambiance just perfect. My daughter had her 21st birthday celebration there and we were invited to the kitchen tour, and she got the birthday card with the team members signatures on it, and the photo with whole team of chef! Absolutely outstanding experience and life time memories!

We had drinks here for my husband’s birthday. The service was great and all staff were attentive. We both ordered the scotch fillet steak which was very tender. The only thing that I could complain about was that the salad needed a bit more oomph. The watermelon sour cocktail was delicious 🍸
