A great menu and service. Ate at table for two in middle of garden near restaurant. A beautiful way to spend an evening . Hayman is known for food and this place keeps with that tradition.

Another strange menu from the Hayman clan, but still better than the Italian place. With the captive clientel, it's probably the best restaurant on the Island

Went to Oriental restaurant for he dinner while on Hayman and absolutely loved it. Food quality was amazing and delicious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and checking on with us regularly. My partner tried snapper dish and apparently it was the best as compared to what he had in Singapore and Thailand. It wa delicious and tasteful. Outside seating... More

Good choices, although little Japanese food which actually suited me. The enclosed garden setting with subtle lighting meant you could imaging yourself to be anywhere.

Service was good and food was ok but nothing to rave about. The surroundings was nice. We sat at a table outside adjacent to the pond, so try and get a table outside if you can.

We did this restaurant on our last night and we wished we had gone sooner because it was the best restaurant of all the restaurants on Hayman. Lovely atmoshpere, lovely staff and the food tastes amazing.

The setting of the restaurant is very nice as long as you manage to sit outside in the gardens; the food was all right, not a memorable meal though

It was spectacular Asian cuisine. I enjoyed a variety of dishes, the snapper, spring rolls and wag you beef curry, on various occasions. The giant fortune cookie for dessert, was delicious and novel.

We ate here twice during our trip. The service was excellent and the asian-inspired meals delicious. Started the dinner with a champagne cocktail (vodka, lime, ginger & champagne...had to have two). We shared our meals which were generous in portion and rich in flavour, and ate outside overlooking the japanese garden. Lovely.
