Scrumptious and Friendly Staff

Extraordinary dishes, Friendly staff and superb service. It kicks off my first night in Singapore with an unforgettable dining experience. At first, I was searching for Michelin French restaurants before arrival but most of them either full house or not in opening hours. It is...lucky and honorable to attend Whiteglass tonight. The modern French-Japanese fusion was inspiring and most of the dishes are not as “typical” as current French cuisine. Uni, shrimp and fish are mesmerizing with their minor ingredients used. The dessert of Melon with coconut cream is excellent and fresh. Since Whiteglass is launching its Summer menu in this week, team members are gathering guests’ experience over the menu. What I suggest to be improved is the King Crab with pork, as the heavy taste of pork seems covering the taste of King Crab, the match might not be ideal, which I have already suggested. Staff were friendly and passionate, courteous, humorous. They were keen to provide their best service, detailed explanation and seek for guests’ opinions. Young and energetic team, paying extra applause to Alex and Jaime. Thank you chef Takuya for the menu and his team for my first stop of Singapore journey.More

High End Dining

From the moment you are greeted at the door you know it’s going to be GOOD, the atmosphere is tastefully done. The wait staff are well trained in high end service, and the restaurant has an extensive wine list with something for everyone. The food...service is outstanding with your needs catered for. Now for the food….. a wonderful menu with a talented head chef, who BTW came to the table at the end of the meal and was happy to discuss the flavours and menu with the guests. My favourite was the dessert, a beautiful combination of fresh flavours, perfect for a Singapore afternoon. If you are looking for a special occasion, high end restaurant put it on your list.More

Splendid dining experience!

Came here for my wife’s birthday celebration and it was a splendid experience, having served by Jamie and Alex and we had Chef Takuya greeting us at the dessert segment. Highly rated location for a special occasion in my opinion!

Phenomenal experience!

Our group had a mixture of the devastation meal and the gastronomic meal. The ingredients were very fresh and the attention to detail by the chef was outstanding. The food was just the right balance to bring out the natural taste of the fresh ingredients....The wine tasting pairing was very good with interesting selections of wine that compliments the food perfectly. We were also very impressed by the service which was 6-star. Attentive without being intrusive and very knowledgeable. Overall a phenomenal meal and we did not realize 4.5 hours had passed.More

Lunch at Whitegrass

Had the executive lunch and we were pleased by the food and service. Although all the dishes were great, the bread and fish entree were standouts. Special thanks to Alex for his fun and friendly service and Jamie for her attentiveness and warmth.

Must go again!

The decor of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Food standards are very high. Could tell the attention to details as even simple vegetables were cooked just right. Jamie and Alex also made our day with their attentive service. We also liked that staff have masks...on and kept the appropriate distance. Seatings were also well spaced and more than adequately distanced.More

Exquisite

My partner and I visited as part of my 50th celebrations, absolutely class. We were looked after by Lai, Hao and Wendy and then had the pleasure of Takuya, the Executive Chef, speak with us after the meal. Could not recommend this restaurant highly enough,...thank you so much for being one of the reasons our Singapore visit was magical! We will be back!More
