Nice ambiance and great food quality at reasonable price. Highly recommend the Chili Crab Spaghetti (mildly spicy) and the Pork Loin served Chinese style in a bowl with rice (juicy but un-char and cleaner taste than roast pork). Service was excellent!

It was a wonderful birthday celebration for my daughter. We brought our own designer's cake and came to the restaurant early. The staff was kind enough to keep the cake so we don't have to lug it around. Food wise, it is pretty decent quality (don't expect any Michelin Star and you're fine) but price is on the higher end but sort of within our expectation. Really like the halia mocktails especially the one with the ginger bulb as key ingredient. Well, Halia is part of the Raffles Hotel and that's where Singapore Sling was born. We are well attended to by the staff and services are prompt. Perhaps the one thing I don't quite appreciate is the use of the wooden plate and "chopping board" for serving and dinning as accommodating a few on the table is a challenge. Overall, quite impressed with the restaurant, the ambient. Highly recommended.

Interesting, beautifully plated and delicious food. We were seated outdoors on a cool evening so there was a nice ambiance. The staff were very attentive and prompt with personal service. Good for a special occasion or just for a night to chill with family and friends.

The service staff was great. It was my wife's birthday and they helped arranged candles and even used chocolate to write happy birthday on the plate they served the cake with. They did this inspite of me getting the cake from another place.

Nice ambience, we ordered food which were the specialty of the restaurant, which were ginger infused or based, and was great. Wait staff, Zim, was pleasant, knowledgeable and has a good sense of humour, which complimented my trip there with my wife.

The atmosphere is green and calming. The food was good, we had the kampong chicken and the their singapore chilli crab spaghetti (one of the house specialities). Both very tasty.. but the dessert, banana fritter style, which was also the house speciality, really let the rest of the meal down. I am always suspicious of a meal which is dressed up to look like what it is not - in this case, a garden. None of it really worked together, and each on its own was a little bland and boring. The staff were attentive. The wine prices were a little steep - prices for wine in restaurants appears to be going down, but not here. A vin ordinaire sav blah at $90 - I think it is time Singapore grew up and stopped pretending that the government taxes are responsible for this customer rip off. I would eat there again, and avoid the dessert. And probably the wine.

Great service, atmosphere and value. I visited Sunday dinner. Jazz band was awesome. I had to wait my friend 1 hour, but never got bored because of that. I recommend to go walk around into Gazebo. It would be extremely romantic.

The setting is beautiful but the music was so loud that having a conversation was a challenge. Service was good but a bit disorganised with three different people asking about drinks within three minutes. The food was good especially the desserts which were delicious.
