The Line
(at Shangri-la)


A fall from grace. That's probably sums up the experience at The Line. For the premium price that one is going to pay, there are pretty much many options available out there for a gastronomy adventure.
*Staff could not keep up with the onslaught of hungry diners. Oysters and lobsters, the two main stars for the Sunday service only were constantly emptied out leaving diners waiting in long queues or moving to other stations.*
*A delectable spread of desserts.*
*Roast beef and salt baked salmon were average at best and didn't scream creativity or impressive execution especially representing Shangri-la.*
*The rest of the western food section seemed more like kiddy meal offerings*
*Oysters were nice but as shared they couldn't keep up with the ravenous demand.*
Food 3/5
*Probably the only standout was the mutton from the Indian section. The rest were pretty standard fair with the western offerings more like a kids party selection of pizzas and mash potatoes. A wasted opportunity. The shashimi scallops were nice but one needed to know that it was available and only upon request.*
Service 3/5
*The plate build up was pretty rapid and it did take quite a while for staff to clear them. The counter staff were a little abrasive on which cutlery to use when picking out meats and most were pretty much overwhelmed to just put out the food. Sliced shashimi salmon, in the rush, was half sliced and needed to be re-cut.
Ambience 3/5
Value 2/5

*Far better options for the gastronomical asking price of over 115.35sgd/pax for a brunch seating.* 
The overall experience with the family celebration was positive. Thankfully the children aged under five were free of charge else it'd be an even worse outcome.
The Line has fallen from what it was known to be many moons back. If not for in-house guests with complementary breakfast at The Line, won't be returning anytime soon.

Despite the fall from grace of the once legendary Line, the Shari-la playcation was still a positive one and worth a stay-cation. Click here for the full write up!
