Restaurant is nice with both indoor and outdoor options. We went there because we saw lots of good comments from them and have to say they did very good service, however, food is bit lower than expectation. Currently they only offer dinner set menu at $88++ per person, have to say the food was not bad but scallops was bit too salty and if there was other choices I would order other dessert instead of existing one

We've been back on a few occasions and the quality has been pretty consistent. We particularly enjoy their brunch offerings, although limited but the execution is spot on. It's really a combination of elements that makes flutes a good experience each time.
Superb that it's located in the majestic National Museum. Servers are mostly polite while the nosh is consistently satisfying. It's a lovely way to start the day off on a good note.
Now if they could get a little more creative with desserts, they'll have us camping out here every other weekend.

Due to the pandemic, they did not have ala carte however they had a Special Chef Dinner Menu set that offer five courses. The service is top-notch, food is really delicious but proportion wise is pretty small, like French dining style so we were not full even after the five courses. Hope to see a slightly bigger proportion.

We celebrated our son’s birthday on 15 Aug. The dinner set was ok but not “wow”. Obviously needs more improvements. For fine dining experience it’s sliced truffle used for the steak has no taste. Likely to use Low quality truffles. Should use truffle oil instead to bring up the flavour if that was the intent. What makes the dining experience terrible, in the context of Asia, when someone is celebrating their birthday and a dead flower was placed in a glass on our table as part of table decor. Goodness, please pay attention to details, can? This isn’t Jollibee restaurant. We asked the service staff why was the dead flower given to us when we informed the restaurant in advanced that we are celebrating our son’s birthday? The reply was “the flower is part of the decor and it was fresh when they placed it there.” What a brilliant reply. In gets better, when they delivered our 3 desserts which was part of the set to make it look like a birthday cake, we had a good laugh. Even hotels or even today’s hotpot restaurant are more than willing to celebrate diners’ birthday better than this place. We ordered 3 sets (even though our son is 7yo & do not have a big appetite) & not 2 sets shared by 2 adults n 1 child. This place isn’t welcoming Nor do they know how to make their guests feel welcomed. They just left the desserts on the table n walked off. Coming to This place once is enough, I can better use my hard earn money to dine elsewhere who will make us feel welcomed. It’s a pity this ‘high end’ restaurant do not really train their staff well.

Firstly it's not vegetarian friendly. Even though it has a separate vegetarian tasting menu it's only 5 courses and the meat/fish one is 7!!
So my friend had 2 more courses than me which is just bizarre. I asked them if they could add two courses and despite their only being 4 tables full the chef said no!!
What kind of service is that?
They eventually added the cheese course at extra expenses and I got extra wine for another course!
Very strange.
Secondly the food I got wasn't actually that nice and left me hungry. It was ok but nothing special.
My friend's fish/crab/chicken dishes he said was lovely.
So this is clearly a place for fish/meat eaters not vegetarians.
The other strange thing was that we had win matching but all the wines were white, why no red?

Went to Flutes for a family event and we were absolutely pleased with the overall experience. The ambient was great, customer service was top notch brilliant, with the staffs catering to our needs (we had two kids with us) all the time. Food was served rather quick as well and was amazingly delicious and presented with the right portion. Kudos to Flutes and the entire service team. We will certainly patron Flutes again for future events.

Everything about the lunch we had here was first class. the food was well prepared and did not try to over-complicate things while remaining contemporary. The five course meal we had at lunch was perfectly proportioned and each dish was as good as the last, something that is quite difficult to achieve. We had an excellent bottle of wine which while quite a splurge was priced very keenly for Singapore, there are some real treats in this carefully selected list.
This was our first visit to Flutes and we are very keen to return for Dinner to see how the space changes with the time of day, at lunch it was light and airy it ill be interesting to see the dining room and indeed the menu at night.

I went to Flutes with my girlfriends for our regular gathering. Staff were attentive to our needs and service was brilliant. The food was absolutely delicious with the right portion size. My friend forgot to mentioned that she was her beef well done and they replaced it completely with a new dish without question to our delight. We will certainly be back again when the ala carte menu resumes!

After scouting for several restaurants to celebrate our anniversary, we chose Flutes as the venue. We did not regret the decision. First and foremost, I have to commend the impeccable service rendered by Juan and Bing. Upon entering the place, we immediately felt the warmth and friendliness of the them. They were very professional and I must stay made our anniversary celebration extra special. They both are knowledgeable and have explained the every possible detail of the food that was being served to us. They are absolutely an asset to the Flutes team!
Now talking about the food, we had a sumptuous dinner. From the appetiser down to main entree and dessert, I would rate it as 5-star. Foie gras is a must-try! And the dessert was definitely tasty!
If you guys are looking for a place to celebrate special occassions or lunch/dinner, I highly recommend Flutes. You will not be disappointed.
Kudos once again to Juan and Bing!

Martina and I would like to thank the Flutes team for helping us celebrate a magic wedding on the 10/Sep/2020. Everything went well and smooth, even better than planned or imagined. The staff was kind, attuned to details and seemed to be enjoying the evening with us. Every request was attended with courtesy, speed and a smile. The food, of course, was also a highlight, together with the decoration, ambiance and some specially tailored drinks.
In special, I want to praise Joanne for setting the evening for success. All the way from the start of our planning, she always communicated with us very quickly and clearly. Joanne showed positive attitude and flexibility to accommodate our requests, some of them were last minute changes (like a belated RSVP just 3 hours before the dinner) and other unusual ideas (like the special Brazilian and Czech drinks).
This is an evening that we and our 38 guests will always remember.

Went to Flutes 2nd time . First one was for lunch sometime ago , was great then decided back for dinner . Ruth from host department deal well with booking and followed up about special requirements etc . Nice place care about booking. Restaurant like always clean and having friendly service staff . Was Thursday so place was not busy ( I was actually happy about that as everywhere in Singapore those days is super busy and everything is just rushed )
Dinner menu is option of 5 or 7 courses tasking menu ( I was aware about menu as host send copy of menu prior visit) . Went for 5 courses with a few modifications which was hasselt free from staff . Very nice . Service stuff done gone job to reconfirm all order . I like ambiance there and also food was very tasty . Ever place are not too busy feel like they still using premium product and focus on freshness of food . Really enjoyed every course and time of service . Wasn't too slow or too fast , ever we was last table some point they still not make us feel time to go .....
I think make some promotion on that times and maybe smaller or cheaper tasking menu could attract more customers just to keep a business going . Anyway def recommended and would like to back again. My experience are just positive , keep going guys , thanks for great evening to whole Team , front and also back of House .🤟

We entered this restaurant after visiting National Museum of Singapore. It was already around 6pm and it was a bit cumbersome to lol for a new restaurant. We could get seats without reservation. The atmosphere inside was nice and it turned out that they provided quality dinner. We enjoyed scallops and asparagus as starter followed by lamb and pork. Wines served there were also awesome.

My husband bring me there for my birthday and we had an amazing time there. Staff is LOVELY , so welcoming and friendly. We were mainly served by Cherry & Erika and had such a nice evening. The food is delicious, we went for the 7 courses & wine pairing and the wines were absolutely stunning .... It is from far for us the best restaurant in Singapore , best prices for the quality and service you will receive. we were in the terrace which is very charming :)

My guests had the beef cheek which was tender but a bit bland. The fish was dry and the vegetables where actually sour really not a good combination. The entrees mushroom soup was standard affair the frog legs, interesting but the combination really works. The dessert choc mud cake and mango mousse was okay. Overall, it was pretty average for >$200 lunch for 3 with no drinks. Servings were small, it was not value for money. Just a pleasant ambiance to catch uo with friends,

I booked Flutes for dinner with my husband, Service was exemplary from accomodation of special diet, flexibility in personalising menu, food quality and overall ambience. It is really great value for that price point. Highly recommend the restaurant.
