Drinks offered were unique and served in unusual styles, though food selection was limited. View was scenic from where my friend and I were seated.

Great view, the drinks are good. The location is very convenient, but the entrance to the bar is only on the side of the art museum.

Very disappointed. Had heard this place was amazing! Cocktails were $30 (after GST and tax) and not mind blowing. Service was rather slow. The place is a little hard to find in the National Gallery. My friend had to ask for a beer four times. They have limited food menu, mainly fried bar food. Their “fried chicken” is actually plain chicken wings. They don’t have malt vinegar for their fish and chips (which wasn’t very good either). View was the best part. Sadly I don’t think we will be back.

Dining with a view was worth it with a very wide selection of alcoholic beverages. Food was not extraordinary with service level past the acceptable mark.

Great view of the bay area and service is satisfactory. Could do with more enthusiasm. Quality of the food and its menu could be improved. The mussels weren’t very fresh as they should be and the duck rillette is not rich enough. Didn’t try the cocktails as we ordered a bottle of white wine. Bar kinda lives up to its name.

The view is fantastic. If you offer local beer like Tiger will be good. Suggest to have fans to create some breeze, because in the night time, the wind blow from land to sea, the lounge is quite warm because of the wall blocking the wind. I suggest to have a slightly smaller single couch, now it is too wide for a person, too tight for two. Then you can afford to have more seats.

The view was spectacular and the staff are polite. Pricing is reasonable and drink selection is vast. This place is mainly for drinks as they have not much to offer on food. Nevertheless, a must to go place for lounging and relaxation.

Great view from the balcony. But Poor service with inexperienced service staff. Also note that if you take balcony seats there’s no backup plan if it rains.

Cocktails and the view are incredible. Lack of service, long waits, meals forgotten and lack of apologies for multiple mistakes was an unnecessary dampener on the evening.

Drinks were pricey $24-25 and very small fancy portion .. one gulp and its finish ! Notin really special . Ambience on e other hand is beautiful . But too bad was spoilt by a big noisy group with one girl gotten herself completely drunk and screaming away . Service by asst manager was good , he led us to a more quiet area away from the rowdy bunch . herself compe

Stunning view of Marina Bay Sands and Esplanade. Sadly, apart from the view, the drinks do not lift up to the same expectation, overpriced cocktails I would say.

Slow service especially for cocktails. Wine wasn't chilled enough, staff dealt with that but not in a very communicative manner. Left waiting wondering and suddenly chilled drinks arrived.

Amazing views and setting. Very relaxed. Good menu & beverage choice. Seating is good, with lots of room & nice mood lighting. The hostess was really rude when we arrived though - ignored us standing there, no smile or eye contact, just generally rude. The rest of the bar staff were lovely though

Bar bites are nice and well presented. Ambience is quiet cosy with an amazing view. Bartenders are knowledgeable with some very innovative cocktails although certain drinks are an acquired taste. Pricing wise a tad pricey but overall it was a pleasent experience.

Restaurant/bar's experience and ambience was nice. Could be perfect if the staff were more efficient and attentive. Staff felt like they didn't want to be there in the first place.

The venue and the view are superb and the main reason for our return visit. The service wasn't brilliant on the first visit - but we didn't book and they were busy! However today they certainly weren't busy and the service was worse. We asked for a starter to share and 2 main courses - the starter arrived after the main meals! We then waited over 20 mins for ice cream. The table next to us 4 of the 5 people had finished their meals but they had to wait another 20 minutes before the last meal a panini to be served - they said the service was unacceptable and it all just spoiled the ambience of the place. Very keen to sell beers and couldn't remember when I asked fora glass of water. We spent 2 and a hours there - nice not to be rushed - but the time was dictated by the service. We only had prawn toast, fish & chips, ice cream & 2 beers!

Such a shame. Lovely setting n stunning views of Padang n Marina Bay n Financial District. However $20 for small glass of average wine. 4 friends in our group of 6 arrived @7.40 pm - 20 mins before we had to leave for dinner n despite half full bar, staff just aimlessly around, we just couldn't get anyone to take their order n we all left without them getting pre dinner drinks. Rooftop bar at Aura next door was full - n everyone drinking. Wake up Smoke n Mirrors

Full bottle prices unlisted Despite reservations made and waiting out the whole night we were not offered the seats outside even after multiple requests made to the servers. As we exited the restaurant around 11pm, we discovered several empty seats untaken, and disappointed that they were not offered to us. Seats inside the place were uncomfortable, tables were small and low. Our group of 3 was sat awkwardly as the seats were horizontal and for sharing. Server that attended to us was bubbly. Food was great

venue was good, but service has much to be improved - we were not informed earlier when we made a booking, that there would be a min spend of $60 if our group had more than 10 people, though we eventually spent way more than that - drinks were slow to come, and their bar did not seem equipped with sufficient drinks. Was not able to do a few mixers that we requested - we ordered a second round of good BEFORE the last order, but the waiter forgot about our order even though we had reminded them twice about the food. Eventually we were not served food because "we missed the last order" - Would have helped if the bar offered complimentary tapas (e.g. olives, nuts, crackers) to match our drinks (we did order quite a few rounds!)

View is impressive, service is friendly, wayfinding to Smoke and Mirrors needs improvement because its very strange to come up from basement via Lobby A and needing to cut through another restaurant (Aura) to get to the bar.

View was great! Nice place to chill and hang out. But service and food isn't great at all. The nicest bar food was the tofu skin. The salted egg yolk chix wings were too over fried and the beef cubes were drenched in too much Hoi Sin sauce
