Lovely, sophisticated cuisine in a relaxing, international ambiance, great interior design; it's not local, you could be anywhere in the world. If you're working around Saigon, this is a nice place to indulge in the cosmopolitan life, the food is well prepared, the wine list is good, the staff are nice. Upstairs is relaxing.

Simple, rustic and charming restaurant. From the same owner as the Elbow Room. Warm decor, friendly service and atmostphere. 2 floors of dinning space with open kitchen, bar and a cigar room (for smokers) which is a nice and accomodation touch. The clam chowder in the bread bowl are worth the trip. All the dips are tasty and great to... More

Skewers is a Mediterranean style restaurant with great ambiance. On the first level, there is a main dining area in the center with a long bar on the right and an open kitchen on the left. Upstairs is another dining area and the Cigar Room. The menu includes the typical Mediterranean fare like Greek dishes and lots of dips (hummus,... More

Been going there for almost 6 years now. Great atmosphere. Quiet. But our food and service was poor for what you are paying. The gazpacho soup and the tzatziki were terrible. Kept having to turn around get someone's attention to get us a drink. Really weak performance from someone who likes the place.

We had some food delivered from Skewers a couple of weeks ago. They delivered the food quickly and it was all freshly made but the meat was very dry and tasteless. Will order from them again but not the same dishes

It is a bit expensive, but the food is excellent and the portions are generous. Service was also very good. For a Saturday evening it seemed a bit quiet though, but maybe we ate their too early.

First time we went there, it was late in the afternoon and was closing time for the restaurant. So they suggested us to go to elbow room and they would bear the taxi charge :-) we didn't take that offer but went there again for dinner and it was fabulous. The steak was great and so were the salads. A... More

The one and only thing i ever order from there is the spaghetti bolognaise, the meat sauce is so beautiful and delicious. So fresh! So tasty!

Atmosphere is warm and comfortable, sit upstairs in the lounge and it's romantic. Service is great as staff really understands the menu and wine list. It's a little pricey, but generally the portions are large and worth the price. Lamb shank is wonderful, as are the ribs. Makes a good venue for friends and couples.
