19June22
Special occasion for Father's Day celebration semi buffet with main ordered.
Free of Charge for children aged five and below.


Food 4/5
*One serving per table*


*Excellent alternative suggested by the front of house staff with regards to the children friendly options which was unknown to the regular staff which offered the regular mains which may not be as kid friendly.*
*The spread was thoroughly enjoyable. Special mentions are their beautifully prepared salmon, hearty mushroom soup and escargots. The steak were more on the rare side, but the unique fries were beautiful prepared with their unique fry. The slow roasted lamb was beautifully prepared, however it was served warm and could be served hotter.*
Service 3/5
*They started out very strong however slid due to disconnect. It was probably junior staff not being aware of alternative food options for the children, the mains needed to be requested before they were served and after notification took a good 25mins to be delivered.*
Ambience 4/5



*Beautiful large pane windows with a near panoramic view of Chinatown as well as the evergreen Oasia hotel (click here for staycation review) in the backdrop.
Value 3.5/5
*A little on the steep side but the entire experience was enjoyable with the take-home dessert box and in conjunction with the floor managers service it was a memorable and overall enjoyable experience.*

Total Fed 4. Kids for this event is free for those aged under five. 
Despite the initial slump in miscommunication and  an under-cooked steak, the food itself and rest of service recovery were well done. The special event was overall memorable and allowed for doggie bagging balance eats.

A little on the pricey side for the special event, but based on the flavors and recovery service, would still return for a meal here.
