Menu is still quite good even after the revamp! The renovated space looks much bigger and welcoming particularly in the day. Staff are also still cheery
Love the variety of the buffet spread. Would go back again.
fresh seafoods , wide range of cuisines, complimentary birthday cake, desserts as well. had a nice time dining here!
Perfect experience, and the seafood is fresh and amazing. The staffs are attentive
Great food quality and great service plus very nice ambiance
Great service especially Alex Wong Food was devious Service staff very attentive Good dinning experience
Excellent service from the start. Great food and ambience. Will definitely recommend.
Surprised that this Hotel has no tie-up with any Banks for Discount, its my own fault for assuming there will be. Service was inconsistent though the Staff attending to our Table was trying very hard to keep asking me if I was happy with the service. Cold cuts were salty: Oysters, Crabs and Lobsters… probably from the brine they used to preserve but not throughly rinsed when presented at the buffet spread
The best ever buffet in SG!!! Highly recommend!! A must to go!!!
Fresh ingredients and friendly service staff. Good for occasional meals, highly recommend.
Food was a nice spread but I was served a pot of tea that tasted like chilli oil …. After drinking half a pot, opened it and noticed that inside had an entire rim of chilli oil. They served me rubbish water after a nice meal! What bad hygiene !
Service is not prompt; Food is average and not hot
Fresh seafood with many unique food choices, was a pleasant dinner
Used to patronise this when they were Melt, I felt that the service was much better then. I was here to celebrate a birthday and had requested for a table at a private corner. If all places they placed me in the middle of the dining area at the fringe of an area where they were hosting a corporate event. While I understand sometimes such noise levels cannot be predicted, but at least place me somewhere closer to where I had requested. To make things worse, when gave this feedback, the assistant manager Alex Wong mentioned that it was my fault for not pointing this out when I was seated. How would the customers know who are the expected guests for the night and the corporate event only started after I started dining?! His attitude also seemed to show that he was not interested in making things better or taking in feedback as i was paying and leaving and was just hoping that we would give them another chance and patronise them again. Wait staff are now all very inexperienced and they served the surprise cake in the middle of the meal while we were still eating mains without being asked for it, ruining the day and moment for my friend celebrating the birthday. Never again..
The updated dining area was very pleasant and had an airy and open feel and vibe to it. Food and drinks selection was similar to the previous Melt Cafe. Overall, good and well prepared food. However, the oysters or some seafood may not have been that fresh as 3 of 11 of my party had the runs that evening or day after.
The overall dining experience was just on average. Thank you!
The place was beautiful and the food was great! Seafood freshness on point! The staffs are very friendly too!
the food is awesome! ambience is good and staff are friendly
Great selection and mostly very good quality with fresh seafood being the highlight!
excellent experience and good service . amongst the best buffets. pricey though
The newly renovated Embu is a huge improvement, and the food is amazing, with a variety of selection and cuisine available.
Great food n service.Already my 3rd time there this year.
Amazing food and service.super enjoy the birthday celebrations here .i will came here again
Sashimi was awesome. Service was great. (esp. topping up water and removing plates) Laksa so-so (was sweet version) supposed to be salty? Roast duck, abit dry. Gelato was good. Wednesday lunch no oyster. only for Sat and Sunday.
Good experience to have Saturday lunch at the restaurant with great food taste.
good ambience, great variety of fresh seafood, especially if you cold boiled ones
Excellent place for dining! The food was fresh, with a vide variety and service was really good without exceptions. Would definitely visit again!
Service staff super attentive. Expensive but worth every cent. Well done.
my friend and i went for lunch. the staff are attentive and friendly. The restaurant have cozy and beautiful decor. The seafood served are fresh.
Food serving is very good especially the seafood spread. Desserts as well. Ambiance is so cool
Ambience was good. Selection and choices of food were good too. However the weekend (Fri) pricing is a bit too much for the choices of food. The cold seafood section were limited which I expect more for that kind of pice.
The place was too crowded and the staff were simply overwhelmed.
Ambience is nice and wide varieties of food. Some seafood is not up to expectations. Desserts too limited.
Dinner for family celebration. Top quality fair price. Highly recommend!
Delicious and food was very fresh 😋, 😋😋 ,, 👍👍
Good food particularly the bbq meats which are cooked outside the main area. On the pricey side however so only worth it if you are a big eater.
Except some cook food abit too salty, especially the soup
I am particular impressed with the service staff name Wai Meng. She did a great job keep touch and provide excellent service to my table. Also, she present me with a delicious and wonderful cake for my birthday experience at Embu. She was also very engaging to my family members and share some great details and pointer about Mandarin Oriental. A job well-done Wai Meng!! Regards, Faliq
We really enjoyed our family dinner. Thank you !! Good
Service is good and service crews are very polite. Selection of food is amazing. Seafood is very fresh.
Lobster was excellent. Desserts varieties was limited as compared to previous “Meltz”
My family and I had a wonderful time at embu. Nice ambience, good food, and great service. Special shoutouts to Ganeson for serving us!
The baked lobsters were not adequate for guests. I went to Q to collect 3 times but unable to get any because the servings were slow and limited. The snow crab too was limited. Not worth the spending!
Mentioned it was my wife birthday and the staff wrote a note on her paper. But there wasn't any complimentary cake given. Had to constantly signal to staff to clear the tables.
Nice variety and service was good. Price wise was rather steep.
Good environment and ambience. Food spread is okay, taste is accpetable
Super loved the place..it’s relaxing while dining and the foods were amazing..specially seafoods! My husband had a happy tummy😄 I personally loved d truffle mashed potato, salmon, steak, beef salads and the strawberry shortcake is to die for!😃 It was indeed a pleasant birthday celebration.
Enjoy the environment , the ambient is amazing , food is amazing too , have the varieties of food but the freshness of food retains
