Omg - where do I start? Went there for lunch to celebrate a birthday. They lost our booking (we booked a week before). Wait staff were less than interested and we stood waiting to be seated for at least 10 minutes. They had advertised that they served alacarte lunch, all we were given was an all day dining menu, probably the same one for room service for the hotel.

The waiter argued about what we received as inclusions with our meals (although it was listed in black and white on the menu) and wanted to charge us extra. We were only asked for drinks once. We had to ask for pepper, salt and serviettes to be placed on the table. Overall a very disappointing experience and one we will not be repeating.

Not the most appealing place when you first walk in but the food is great. The staff could probably learn to smile but service was prompt and efficient. The Peking duck rolls were superb. My colleague and I also had the pork and prawn spring rolls, shredded duck and asparagus, bbq pork and steamed rice. All dishes were cooked perfectly. Will certainly return in the near future.

Went there for lunch yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised. We had Vietnamese spring rolls and quail for entrée. Flavours were amazing. Main consisted of caramelized pork and prawn and squid satay with steamed rice. Could not fault the meal, Service was quick.

This place used to be one of "the" places to eat Italian food. After grabbing a meal from there last night, all I can say is very disappointing. I ordered spaghetti marinara which was drowned in some sort of grainy tomato/basil paste - couldn't even call it a sauce. Also hidden in the dish were 2 calamari rings, 2 prawns and 2 scallops. It was obvious that these had been frozen and were extremely bland. Not a pleasant experience and not one I will be repeating soon.

Excellent food and good service. Fairly basic menu and a little on the dear side but chef cooked our meals to perfection. Only negative was the air conditioning, which was playing up making it very warm inside. Would have no hesitation in going back.

Wait staff were useless. Meal was not cooked to order. Had to remind waitress 4 times about drinks. Was sat at a pokey little table right next to the toilet. Overall a very disappointing experience considering how good I had been told this place was.
