Truly great dining experience. The atmosphere is of course fantastic inside the Botanic Gardens. But the food as well as the service are at the same high level so while it's definitely not a cheap restaurant it was well worth the price for the occasion.

We enjoyed our dinner at The Halia. We were welcomed warmly and addressed by name throughout the evening - a nice touch. The food was tasty and well presented and the servers were friendly and efficient. The alfresco dining area had a nice ambience. We appreciated that the restaurant acknowledged my wife's birthday. We would recommend!

The restaurant is definitely suitable for a romantic dinner. The customer service was great, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who is ever ready to not only serve, but serve with a smile. The food is great too with great attention to details especially to taste and presentation. A good place to have a quiet dinner with your loved ones.

The Halia at Singapore Botanic Gardens is the best restaurant in Singapore for me. Sunday is recommended. There will be jazz band performance. This performance makes just nice volume of sound. I find some restaurant band performance could be just a unpleasant noise if the music is not your favorite. Look at here, they are perfect! Maybe it is because of nicely open air and greens around there. Staff are all friendly and kind. Price wise is also just nice. Only one negative point... do not forget repellant against mosquito!

Every table seems to be getting the same food! Almost all table have the Chili Crab Spaghettini and Pork Ribs. We got the same food as everyone. The Chili Crab spaghetti is more chili than any other flavor. I've tried better chili crab sauce elsewhere. The Pork Ribs is definitely melt-in-your-mouth good though. For dessert, we got the Ginger Garden and I regret agreeing to share it. It's not much and I would like the whole plate for myself. The drinks are not bad but not great either. We got the Flower Fire Mocktail and Sangria.

The service staff was great. It was my wife's birthday and they helped arranged candles and even used chocolate to write happy birthday on the plate they served the cake with. They did this inspite of me getting the cake from another place.

Interesting, beautifully plated and delicious food. We were seated outdoors on a cool evening so there was a nice ambiance. The staff were very attentive and prompt with personal service. Good for a special occasion or just for a night to chill with family and friends.

It was a wonderful birthday celebration for my daughter. We brought our own designer's cake and came to the restaurant early. The staff was kind enough to keep the cake so we don't have to lug it around. Food wise, it is pretty decent quality (don't expect any Michelin Star and you're fine) but price is on the higher end but sort of within our expectation. Really like the halia mocktails especially the one with the ginger bulb as key ingredient. Well, Halia is part of the Raffles Hotel and that's where Singapore Sling was born. We are well attended to by the staff and services are prompt. Perhaps the one thing I don't quite appreciate is the use of the wooden plate and "chopping board" for serving and dinning as accommodating a few on the table is a challenge. Overall, quite impressed with the restaurant, the ambient. Highly recommended.

Nice ambiance and great food quality at reasonable price. Highly recommend the Chili Crab Spaghetti (mildly spicy) and the Pork Loin served Chinese style in a bowl with rice (juicy but un-char and cleaner taste than roast pork). Service was excellent!

The atmosphere is green and calming. The food was good, we had the kampong chicken and the their singapore chilli crab spaghetti (one of the house specialities). Both very tasty.. but the dessert, banana fritter style, which was also the house speciality, really let the rest of the meal down. I am always suspicious of a meal which is dressed up to look like what it is not - in this case, a garden. None of it really worked together, and each on its own was a little bland and boring. The staff were attentive. The wine prices were a little steep - prices for wine in restaurants appears to be going down, but not here. A vin ordinaire sav blah at $90 - I think it is time Singapore grew up and stopped pretending that the government taxes are responsible for this customer rip off. I would eat there again, and avoid the dessert. And probably the wine.
