Firstly, many wines on the wine list were marked with a green sticker as 'out of stock' - so many! This was unacceptable. The food we received was very good, no complaints there, but the service was bordering on appalling. No one came to take...our order, had to pour our own wine a number of times, our dishes were never cleared even though all the food had been eaten. Overall disappointing, which was a shame as the kitchen team did their part, but everyone front of house were clearly disinterested.More

We were aware that there was a time limit for dining but what we did not expect was barely one hour (yes one hour) from the time we were seated, a captain (a tall guy in suits) started clearing the plates and repeatedly, in an...impolite manner, reminding us to consume the remaining food on the table so that he could clear it. He was actually taking away the dim sum just as he was chasing until we stopped him. 15 minutes later, the same man would come over again demanding us to leave the restaurant to make space for his next customer. Rude and disrespectful. Food quality has deteriorated significantly over the years, certainly not worth the price you are paying. Only reason to visit would be to experience the horrible service.More

First of all, the staff are extremely disorganised. Second this is the first place where tea is poured not through the spout but from the TOP where the lid is. Third the food standard has gone completely down the drain. It is not much different...from eg. Seng Kee. Fourth at the price point it is totally not worth it. Jade at Fullerton, Man FunYuan at Intercontinental, Summer Pavilion at Ritz Carlton… ANY of them is a better choice. How this place managed to maintain a Michelin ranking is beyond me.More

I ordered the Prix Fixe lunch (pictured) the dishes varied from very good to outstanding in particular, the prawns and the shrimp dim sum were great. I find that to be quite a good value at $48 SG. Excellent Cantonese cuisine. The scallop dish also...pictured was quite good strangely enough they charged $58 SG for that but on the menu it was either not listed or listed for much less. In any case, that was not a very good value at all. The service started very slow with the Prix Fixe served after 30 minutes but then it accelerated to the point where the fourth dish came right before the third dish and they were bringing the dishes too fast to keep up. Would I come back? Probably not, but the food is good. Have a try. Order Prix Fixe.More

First visit, dim sum lunch, the har gau was good. The siew mai, spare ribs and chicken feet were just average, but the crispy roasted pork, char siew, salted egg bun and xiao long pow were above average. Glutinous rice, pork congee shrimp roll and...bbq pork bun were just okay. No card discount, ambience okay and normal customer service, about SGD50 each for a decent lunch.More

We found this Michelin-star restaurant by accident looking for another. Happy chance - we had a quite superb meal on the terrace looking out onto the buzzy Chijmes square of restaurants in this former convent. The terrace manager, Tee Yanmu, is a mixologist, and my...gin and tonic was about as far from a Gordon's and Schweppes as you could ever imagine. Viv's negroni was similarly crafted, and we followed them with an Ara sauvignon blanc which was worth the $108 price. I want to tell you what we ate, having kept the receipt, but it is in Chinese characters and I can't remember! But it was delicious seafood and not overpriced - our food was $86 before tax and service for two courses of excellence. But Yanmu was the star of the show, ably assisted by his colleague on the night, who recognised and greeted us as we walked by the following day. The digestifs kindly given to us at the end were much appreciated. Well worth a visit.More

I visited this restaurant with 5 business associates on a Thursday lunchtime. Enjoyed the busy vibe to the room and found the table size generous- we were able to have a discreet discussion without the formality of a private room. Staff were delightful. However I...expected more from the Michelin set lunch. The dishes lacked any star quality and were as expected from a less expensive or favoured restaurant.More
