Alley on 25 is actually the entire group of different bistro/restaurants which individually specialize in different cook styles located on the 25th Floor of Andaz Hotel by Hyatt. Some focus on the BBQ, while others geared towards broiling/baking or on fresh greens. The shared menu already features the best or rather most popular ones from all of these restaurants. 

Each restaurant has a different interior decoration and of course vantage point of Singapore.
Ordered On:
15Nov2018
Lobster Mac and Cheese SGD35

*The portion is small. Sure you get actual lobster but the Mac and Cheese portion is totally lacking. The Mac is dry and lacking the oomph from the cheese or cream. Sure you get some lobster but hardly justified by the portion size and asking price. Mac pretty normal.*
Waygu Beef Ribs SGD45


*Thou really nice but the portion again is very small. Nicely marinated and presented. However the heavy sweet marination could probably take away from the quality meet than add to it. Basically beef rib cuts are already quite tender and fatty. You don't get the through essence of the waygu beef. The side salad however is a very refreshing

Heirloom Tomato Salad SGD16
*Simple and really nice. But again for a simple assembly of Herloom tomatoes, dressing and katamala olives, way over priced. Pleasant but hurts the pockes.*
Total Fed 2 at SGD95 after 10% discount with credit card offer.
Ambience 4/5



Food 3/5
Value 2.5/5
Service 3/5
The place and especially the view is aesthetically pleasing to the eye with a great panoramic view of Singapore skyline. There's no real distinct restaurant since one can order from any of the restaurants. However, each of them do have a slightly expanded menu but the supposed best/signatures are already in the combined menu. 

Sadly to say much of 'signature' selection aren't that impressive. The food is nice, but over priced and doesn't match up in the presentation or flavors. Only the Mac and Cheese failed miserably. Overall taste was okay but some missed opportunity with the Waygu Beef. 

Will not be returning for their Al-la carte meals, however will still give their weekend Buffet a try. SGD45 for free flow of oyster and rib buffet. Perhaps their day specific specials at the individual restaurant are value for trying out.
 
 Alley On 25 Continued Oyster and Rib Buffet
SGD48++




 Value 3.5/5
As advertised. The Buffet goes for Fridays and Saturdays. The selection is a little constricted and does fulfill the Oysters and Buffet aspects of it. If you're not a huge oyster fan, then its not worth for you at all.

The stand outs were their amazing chorizo sausages (which weren't that spicy really), super sweet and tender char grill beef short ribs and succulent oysters. The pork ribs were so-so at best. Those mentioned were the clear winners.

They do have other fillers like a simple salad station and soft serve self-service dessert kiosk but nothing more to that. An okay valued place for oysters and beef short ribs with the same amazing view.
