Overall it was a great evening for our business dinner at Hortus. Cozy and ambient atmosphere was very welcoming right from the time we arrived there. Friendly staffs and delicious food made our dining an enjoyable experience. Shoutout to the quality of well crafted dishes (starters to main to desserts) and the services we received with reasonable prices. I would definitely like to visit there soon and recommend others to try this place as well. Huge thanks to team Hortus for making it such a memorable night for us.
