The moment we sat down, it just felt like the kind of place where you can relax, take your time and enjoy a proper dinner with good company. The rooftop setting, cosy corners and tropical touches made the whole experience feel really chill — such a nice break from the usual city rush. And the food definitely made the experience even better 🔥 Started with the Beef Tartare — super fresh, nicely seasoned and a really solid start to the meal. The Pan-Seared Salmon was pure comfort 🤤 Crispy skin, tender flaky fish and that creamy purée combo just worked so well. The Crab Linguini was another one I enjoyed. The pasta had a nice bite and was coated in a rich, savoury seafood sauce that made every forkful really satisfying. But the biggest surprise of the night? 👀 🍱 Unagi Prata. I honestly didn’t know what to expect from this combo 😂 But the crispy prata, sweet unagi glaze and creamy cheese came together so well. It was the dish everyone kept talking about! Ended on a high with the Durian Crème Brûlée 🍮🔥 The bold D24 durian flavour with that crackly caramelised top was such a fun local twist. The Cranberry and Pineapple drinks were also the perfect refreshing touch between all the richer flavours 🍹 Overall, such a chill rooftop dining experience — good vibes, creative dishes and a spot I’d come back to for another long dinner ✨ Still thinking about that Unagi Prata 😂

Food is delicious, I was very very surprised that only a few table on a Sunday afternoon, used to be very crowded! Love their fries, beef, pasta and salad, would be nice if they serve tap water even if they are charging it. Will come again for the view and cocktails!

Found this place on TikTok, to find the place was quite a walk and search but it was all worth it with the food😂 Went during the day and it was not crowded at all, I think the atmosphere would be even better when it’s night time. I’m quite happy that me and my friend got the window seating, it was such a vibe✌️ Enjoyed my whole experience there, the food and cocktails tasted good and affordable. Moreover, the staff were also friendly and helpful🥰

Nice ambience. Last visited in 2023 and back here 3 years later. They have removed the cover charges but their signature items are still on the menu! John served us and he was v friendly and service was great.

It's a little hard to find; I searched for about 10 minutes before finally finding it by calling the restaurant. It's on the third floor of Tower 1; you need to go up to the third-floor platform of the mall to find it. However, the restaurant's ambiance is truly impeccable—very exquisite and beautiful. According to the introduction, they used to charge an entrance fee for everyone entering the restaurant at lunch and dinner, but now, probably due to lower customer traffic, they no longer charge a fee per person for lunch. The restaurant's food prices are also very reasonable. Their philosophy is to cover costs plus a small labor cost, but making a profit is probably quite difficult, so it's best to try it early, as there's a concern about stock levels. I chose the salmon that day, and the portion was quite large. The salmon was cooked okay, slightly overcooked, with the fish meat fully cooked. The seasoning was a bit bland, and with the mashed potatoes, it felt a little greasy, but I finished it all. My friend chose the ribs and steak, both of which looked very good. We also ordered a serving of fries. I might bring friends to try it sometime.

Food is amazing! We cleared everything on the table and service is really good too. Had a table near the window so it was really good ambience.

Food was not up to expectations . Portions small . Good thing we ordered only a few mains to test and decided to eat fast and go elsewhere to eat . Strange that despite taking away the cover charge , there were more servers than diners at that time. Atmosphere was good as the place was still beautifully decorated and pleasant . To me , Maybe this is better as a “first date “ leave good impression place for 2 people to talk and get a drink and just spend time but not a place for “real substantial tasty dinner food for a family “ . Unlikely to return for this price point. Felt the food in the past was better . .
