nice and cosy environment. good food,nice ambience, everything is great
Went with family. Not really worth the money to order the Chinese tze char dishes. But family enjoyed the overall experience
Nice and quiet on a weekday. Perfect for a DE stressing drink
Too much noise, a lot of smoke. Food okay! Do not recommend.
Been to this place many times. My friends enjoyed the music here. Will definitely come again.
Nice ambiance. Good for a chill out and gathering with friends
One of my regular hangout place for gathering. Cozy and friendly environment. Drink and food are reasonable. Been here many times. My friends like the place.
Order and food took toooo long to come. The only thing that came fast was the drinks. Didn’t see any live band as was posted
Nice place for a good catch up with friends over good food and beer. The pizza and bar bites are good. Will definitely go there again.
I have been coming here with my friends for the past few months, and it’s the fact that they serve Kilkenny, Guinness from tap, and other premium beers like Erdinger that we keep coming back to this joint. Fact that they also serve some of our favorite staples like ribeye and salmon steaks with a decent dose of hospitality made us decide on making it our regular hang out place. However, all that changed since our visit there last night. We showed up around 6.30pm and were ushered to our seats, and without second thoughts ordered our usual Kilkenny 1 for 1 for happy hour. Now guess what? They don’t serve Kilkenny anymore, neither do they stock Erdinger for that matter. We were down to Guinness as the only option and decided to get 3 sets for a start as there were only 3 of us yesterday. What came next caught all of us off guard - they don’t offer 1 for 1 anymore. Since we have already parked our vehicles and seated, we just went along with the regular priced draught. When we were ready to order our main courses, we realized the menu had been changed, and our favorite ribeye and other finger foods are no longer on the menu. What happened next was the reason for me to pen this review. A different floor staff came and asked if we would like to have our second 1 for 1, after seeing our first glasses were almost empty; to which we all politely nodded. Can anyone tell me why the double standard here? The first waiter who told us no was a male, in his early 30s perhaps, with a grumpy demeanor and short temper. The other whose behavior somewhat hinted an acknowledgement that we are regulars is a female in her late 20s perhaps, with a pleasant disposition. Okay, long story short, we had our food and beer and continued with our conversation until we pressed the service button on our table for some attention to have the balance of our Guinness pints served. As we were being ignored for some time, the service button was pressed again a few times after that - and the next thing we knew, that same male waiter in his 30s stormed up to our table and yelled in a threatening manner: “Hey!! You guys keep pressing the button for fun is it????” We quietly requested that the rest of our pints be served and he left grumpily. Even if my friend had been a bit enthusiastic with pressing the service button, I don’t think that kind of hostility is called for. The double standard, absence of staples like grill favorites and our choice of beers made us decide on dropping this place in future. Our bill came to over $200/- for 3 pax, which I promptly paid and left. Will we recommend this place? Not a chance in hell. Not until you people get your act together. Disgusted!
Frequent this place many times. Price is reasonable and staff are friendly. Food is good especially the lamb shank. Will go back to this restaurant again.
Took some time for the servers to notice us to order drinks and food or order another round of drinks when sitting out door.
Perhaps, the waiters and waitresses could have come quicker to the table when we pressed the "service" button but they may be busy so it's ok! Great food and cocktails along with great music from the live band! Will definitely be back with friends! :)
Food was Reasonably priced and there is a 1 for 1 offer on drinks up to 8pm. The Friday evening band plays pretty good stuff too.
Nice place. Boss friendly. Waiters who served us we're fabulous. Most importantly Donny the Singer was superb. We enjoyed our night very much. Would definitely recommend others to visit.
nice ambience and great food!! very suitable for small to large groups....great great great great great great great great great great great great great great
Drinks and food prices are reasonable. However sitting outdoors for me is not very conducive due to mosquitoes. Need to replenish toilet paper in the female toilets. Otherwise, location around east coast is ok except i live far away and got to travel a bit to get there.
Good vibes and services. Drinks were priced at an affordable price.
The food was very good. We had char grilled chicken chop, mix grilled pork and molten lava cake. The only area which could have been improved is they need to enforce no smoking in a non-smoking area outdoors.
Friendly staff, excellent service, good band and cosy ambience all around Great place for group to get together and catch up Good choice of food and drinks too
I had the carbonara pasta yesterday and it was delicious. Staff as usual were very friendly. Good meeting place for friends to have a drink. Cosy and not too noisy.
The food was good, with a very good ambience for a chill night out, not too hot or noisy even outdoors. Service was good with very responsive staff as well.
Have a good range of finger food and main courses. Portions are generous. Value for money. Staff are very pleasant. Nice environment. Valet parking available so no need to worry about parking.
This is the second time I returned to this place. Service is a bit slow but considering that the space is slightly large, I understand that the staff sometimes is not alert to customers' needs. However, the food is good though slightly pricy.
the food are nice, price is considered reasonable and staff are very friendly. a great place for gathering. for 10 pax, its a little too pack.
The service was great, staff are attentive and friendly. Only thing for me is the ikan bilis isn't as nice as before. My partner and I have patronised this place for 7 years now so we know how good it once was. Always room for improvement. The salted egg fries are really good though. Will come back again.
I was there on a Friday. As always, staff are friendly and service is good. Live band was good with good vocals and fingerpicking. Would be better if they have more choices for bar food or tapas.
We initially sat outside which was great. We then realized that there was a band playing in the inside area. Everything changed. The band was awesome and the night just got better. Excellent service. Great music. Awesome food.
Food was good. My daughter and I had pasta while my hubby had a steak which he said was cooked to perfection. As usual the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We would recommend this restaurant for a no fuzz dinner with the family.
The service is slow. The waiter displayed a very annoyed atttitude and expression when we asked for bill and had to cancel our order as we waited too long and left to leave.
Nice ambience. Friendly waiters, live band is nice. Enjoy my foods with the songs
Service staff are friendly and cheerful. Environment and ambience was great for a catch up with friends and family. Will definitely go back there again.
Great H/H deals, fantastic friendly staff. Excellent atmosphere for a soccer night
Food was pretty good. Happy hour till 8pm everyday was a bonus. Good place for an exciting EPL evening with both indoor and outdoor seats available.
Pretty nice environment to chill out with friends. Came back the second time to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday. We kinda like the pizzas here. Cheers!
Restaurant more for family, went there to catch f1 but too noisy and couldn't here the sound both indoor and outdoor. Drinks were a bit pricey even though not in CBD area
Excellent service and atmosphere to relax and have a break from your busy life. Food was great but could be served a bit faster. Overall a very good experience to wind down after a busy day
Overall was good. Staff were friendly too. However one of the staff called and assured me that they will reserve a good indoor seat for me and my friends, but in the end gave the table to someone else. Anyway overall quite a nice place to eat and chill. Service was fast too.
Been there a few time and the service as usual is good with friendly staff. Food is nice and tasty. Will go back there again!
Good food and service. Nice atmosphere to chill out n relax. Been there a few times. Plan to go back again. Beer is a bit expensive even though they offer one-to-one during happy Hours.
