Unfortunately, most of the food and one of the signature drinks we ordered were not available. The manager did apologise and gave credit for the food that was served.

Greal location, decent cocktails, friendly staff. Bottles of wine are a bit on the pricey side but everything else on point. I will definitely return.

I booked the table at 5:30pm.. when i reached there, they informed me to empty the table by 7pm cos they have another reservation. If they notice me when i booked, i could cancel that. It wasn't pleasant memory to remember..

great view. 2 of the drinks were not available both times I was there, within the span of 2 weeks. may be tricky if one visits after rain earlier in the day as the cushions on the outdoor seats get soaked and take awhile to dry

Drinks were nice. expect creative cocktails, had a savoury one i never imagined. Ambience is perfect, direct view of MBS during sunset! Seemed perfect for a date, even tho it cost slightly more. but i felt like i was served 5 star cocktails, with 5 star settings, with 5 star prices, but with a hawker centre standard of service.

An awesome place with stunning views. The cocktails were great too. They explained the story behind each cocktail and that makes you appreciate the experience even more. A great place to hang and chill with friends. Very popular with tourists.

Very disappointed. Had heard this place was amazing! Cocktails were $30 (after GST and tax) and not mind blowing. Service was rather slow. The place is a little hard to find in the National Gallery. My friend had to ask for a beer four times. They have limited food menu, mainly fried bar food. Their “fried chicken” is actually plain chicken wings. They don’t have malt vinegar for their fish and chips (which wasn’t very good either). View was the best part. Sadly I don’t think we will be back.

Dining with a view was worth it with a very wide selection of alcoholic beverages. Food was not extraordinary with service level past the acceptable mark.

Great view of the bay area and service is satisfactory. Could do with more enthusiasm. Quality of the food and its menu could be improved. The mussels weren’t very fresh as they should be and the duck rillette is not rich enough. Didn’t try the cocktails as we ordered a bottle of white wine. Bar kinda lives up to its name.

The view is fantastic. If you offer local beer like Tiger will be good. Suggest to have fans to create some breeze, because in the night time, the wind blow from land to sea, the lounge is quite warm because of the wall blocking the wind. I suggest to have a slightly smaller single couch, now it is too wide for a person, too tight for two. Then you can afford to have more seats.

The view was spectacular and the staff are polite. Pricing is reasonable and drink selection is vast. This place is mainly for drinks as they have not much to offer on food. Nevertheless, a must to go place for lounging and relaxation.

Cocktails and the view are incredible. Lack of service, long waits, meals forgotten and lack of apologies for multiple mistakes was an unnecessary dampener on the evening.

Drinks were pricey $24-25 and very small fancy portion .. one gulp and its finish ! Notin really special . Ambience on e other hand is beautiful . But too bad was spoilt by a big noisy group with one girl gotten herself completely drunk and screaming away . Service by asst manager was good , he led us to a more quiet area away from the rowdy bunch . herself compe

Stunning view of Marina Bay Sands and Esplanade. Sadly, apart from the view, the drinks do not lift up to the same expectation, overpriced cocktails I would say.

Amazing views and setting. Very relaxed. Good menu & beverage choice. Seating is good, with lots of room & nice mood lighting. The hostess was really rude when we arrived though - ignored us standing there, no smile or eye contact, just generally rude. The rest of the bar staff were lovely though

Bar bites are nice and well presented. Ambience is quiet cosy with an amazing view. Bartenders are knowledgeable with some very innovative cocktails although certain drinks are an acquired taste. Pricing wise a tad pricey but overall it was a pleasent experience.

The venue and the view are superb and the main reason for our return visit. The service wasn't brilliant on the first visit - but we didn't book and they were busy! However today they certainly weren't busy and the service was worse. We asked for a starter to share and 2 main courses - the starter arrived after the main meals! We then waited over 20 mins for ice cream. The table next to us 4 of the 5 people had finished their meals but they had to wait another 20 minutes before the last meal a panini to be served - they said the service was unacceptable and it all just spoiled the ambience of the place. Very keen to sell beers and couldn't remember when I asked fora glass of water. We spent 2 and a hours there - nice not to be rushed - but the time was dictated by the service. We only had prawn toast, fish & chips, ice cream & 2 beers!
