'Service' was so bad that I didn't even stay on to eat. Ah well ... next.
The steak was very tough even though it was cooked sous vide. Not worth the price. Chili crab pasta and pork loin were ok but not mind blowing.
course menu was different from the ones in common restaurants. for there were some crackers dishes with dips, firstly, we were worried whether they are enough for us but, we became full stomach.
Lovely restaurant. The service was excellent, and the food very good. I only wish there were more options for vegetarians in the mains section. Dessert was also good - sticky toffee pudding. Could've done with a bit more sauce.
food was okay, price and environment okay too. will go again. food was okay, price and environment okay too. will go again. food was okay, price and environment okay too. will go again.
Service, food and ambience is great ! Went there to celebrate for my boyfriend's birthday . I wrote it on the special request when doing booking and they remember ! The staffs there sang a birthday song for him and it was a complete surprise. Definitely be back there next time .
I hate being taken for a fool: I ordered one dish and told me they had run out of it because they had served 2 clients this evening. The restaurant had enough stock for just 2 clients and has already run out of it before 8 PM? Come on, stop taking your clients for stupid people. The icing on the cake came with the fact the waiter added the restaurant was full house this evening when the restaurant was not even half full for the 2 hours we spent there. We decided to have dessert someone else as our experience there was really bad. Don't think you can lie to your customers and get away with it!!!
The service is lovely, and it was definitely a great experience. I would definitely recommend heading back. The steak is a must try, as well as the sea bass.
I ordered express lunch. It was high cost paformance!! Taste's good and affordable!
Housed within the colonial era icon the Raffles Hotel, Halia is a refreshing concept. The communal meal for 4 is a must. Course after course of fresh, flavorful culinary creations in an easygoing atmosphere. A must.
tried the chilli crab spaghetti, the gratin and their signature milk tea. very good service but average food. overall it was a good dining experience.
Good quality food but too pricey. Also, did not clarify that would take three priciest items for the entertainer deal
Food was very good, interesting Components and ingredients used to create wonderfully exciting flavours. Service was average though.Expect more for the price and reputation of this restaurant.
Definitely worth the time I spent there! Very friendly and nice people, very fast and efficient service. Thank you for having such a cute and nice surprise for my friend!
Restaurant was a bit crowded during lunch, so it was a bit hard to get the attention of the waiter/waitresses. We had the halibut and the pork loin during lunch, the halibut was really good, with my entertainer 1for1, it was worth the money, though I wasn't sure if I would order it without that. Ambience was so-so with many kids with families making quite some noise. All in, the food's good, so if you are after good food you should come here.
Halia ran out of pretty much many things on the menu and we had to wait almost half an hour for our orders. On top of that, my friend had to wait almost 45 Min for her tea because they ran out of tea. Most under prepares restaurant I've been to for a Sunday brunch. Will not recommend it to anyone.
Great food and ambience. Would go again. Loved the goats cheese and onion tart and asparagus salad. Sangria was too sweet though. Service was great as well
portions were sufficient and food came quite promptly. There wasn't many staff on duty nonetheless and our cups were not refilled promptly. good value with entertainer app. Note entertainer app can only be used on LARGE plate items (i.e. 2 large plate items or 1 large plate item and 1 brunch item).
Awesome service for a birthday lunch, food was TOP notch, price reasonable. The Chili crab dip had real crab meat inside and portion was very generous. Highly recommended! Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu.
Nice ambience. Pretty decoration. Quite and convinient place near city hall. Good food. Friendly and prompt staff. User friendly restaurant online reservation. Good price for brunch.
Halia has great ambience, good food and attentive service staff! While variety on the menu was decent, hope to see more options on their Express Lunch (which had two options each for starters, mains and dessert). Overall, an enjoyable experience 😊
great atmosphere, great food, great service! Loved the halibut dish! will definitely go back to visit! you will enjoy it as much as we did!
Excellent customer service at Halia. Servers have good knowledge on their menu and provided valuable recommendation on their popular mains course. Paired your meal with sangaria!
A hidden gem. Good food, a comfortable atmosphere and at Raffles Arcade, right in the heart of the city. The lunch set is very good value.
Nice ambience, extensive menu and service was good as well. Was supposed to arrive at 12.30 but got lost and they called to check on our reservation. Thank you.
Service was excellent, food was great as always and we used the Entertainer app so it was very value for money, spent $75 on 4 pax after the app discount.
Great food and ambience! Definitely a place to come back to
here to celebrate xmas with my loved ones. lovely dinner and attentive staff who looked after our needs. food was delicious and as good as they looked.
Pancakes with bacon butter was simply great! Standards have been maintained over the years. Will come back for the food. Pity it opens at 11am on weekends so more a brunch rather than breakfast place.
Great ambience, food and service. The items are a little pricey but that's with everything at Raffles Hotel. The lunch set is lovely and worthy.
Awesome music. The steak and eggs, slow cooked pork loin is very impressive. Attentive staff who's very friendly. Suitable place for folks to like a quiet afternoon in town.
Went to Halia for dinner to celebrate our 6th year anniversary! What a treat; the food was so good! We got the halibut and the ribs and both were super tasty. Service was impeccable as well. Will definitely return :)
The service was very good at Halia. All the wait staff were very attentive and pay alot of attention to details. The food was good but felt that the chill crab spaghetti was over hyped. Great experience nonetheless.
We ordered the Halibut Papillote, Barbeque Pork Ribs and Oriental Pulled Duck Soba. The best item.is probably the Halibut. Generally OK food but really nothing to shout about.
Great service but quite a few signature dishes already running out by 7pm. Might be worthwhile to pre order if going during the festive period!
Great service with a nice ambience and reasonably priced food and drinks. Though the presentation and choice of ingredients for the mains could be improved.
Desserts are well made, while the souvide dishes, especially the seafood and poultry ones are excellent. Well recommended for get-together. Kudos to attentive and friendly service too!
Nice and cosy ambiance with relatively good selection of food choices. Ordered the crab meat pasta which was by far one of the best i've ever eaten. Tried the ginger nougat too as well which was very good too as well!
Honestly I am very disappointed with The Halia at Raffles. The food is good (and quite higly priced also) but the restaurant and the atmosphere doesn't match a fine dining place at all. The place is a very casual bistro and the music is just the radio!!!! you expect something else than listening to commercials when you pay 80$+ for a main course. The service is quite slow (they were 4 waiters.... and only 4 tables occupied). I will not go back for sure!
Excellent food, but rather slow service. Poor service standards were acknowledged by the restaurant staff with certain items being 'on the house' and removed from our final bill. Would probably visit again but not high on my list of favourite restaurants in Singapore.
