    The restaurant was too busy for the staffing levels. The food was very good but not quite the flavours I expected for a Michellin Star restaurant.

    Wow what a night. Was an incredible meal start to finish. Everything was cooked beautifully. Starters were fantastic the Vietnamese oysters with pork belly which was fall apart tender. The main event was a great cut of rib-eye which was cooked superbly. Overall service was fantastic and just a wonderful evening. Would certainly recommend.

    Went for a business lunch meeting. Whilst the a la carte menu was a tempting option, the set menu offering equally sounded good that we decided to try this out. Starter portions were generous and flavoursome. Their home made bread was exquisite. Our mains - albeit small in portion (perhaps even be mistaken as a starter for one of the dishes) had good depths of flavour and was beautifully presented. For its price point, I guess it’s fair portion. As a small feedback, I would say that service was friendly but was a little slow, (it was not particularly a rushed lunch service). Our drinks took a while to arrive, and had to ask for our bill a couple of times towards the end? Our waiter at the beginning perhaps was new, as had to repeat our order a couple of times, and not so familiar with the menu? Overall, it was great experience. Special thanks to Sylvia for great service and hospitality. Will be back, as I do come here quite a bit to use the Neighbourhood space for meetings. The hotel is also fantastic and stunning.
