    The food was great, but the service needs improvement. The waiter poured the wrong water into our glasses and didn’t notice.

    We started with a couple of appetizers and everyone loved the prawns and especially the pork belly in the pork belly and scallops. The steaks were cooked perfectly! Overall a very nice meal.

    Steaks were good, not excellent, the highly recommended Bombe Alaska was served in a solidly frozen inedible way.

    We always come here for meat and we are never disappointed. Service should be more prompt, but overall good and we would highly recommend it. It would be nice to see more side dish options

    Amazing food. Could not fault any of the sharing platter we got. Lovely setting, in a good location far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Cavill Avenue.

    Perfect pre-SkyPoint spot! This restaurant is great, delicious food, great service, and an ideal location just a short stroll from SkyPoint. Everything we ordered was packed with flavour and beautifully cooked. It was the perfect way to kick off our evening. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality meal before heading up to the observation deck!

    Extremely slow service. Missed my order, made us wait more than 40 minutes for a desert that never came. I had to go check at the counter only to find out the manager that took my order had missed to enter it. He tried to be cool and took the order with his head rather than noting it down. The result is you miss customers orders! And waste their time! Two other tables next to us also had issues that night. One was also a missed order. The other was a duplicate order. If you don't want a bad experience, avoid at all cost. Read the Google reviews, the one stars are there for a good reason. Won't be coming back here for sure.
