  • Service was amazing

    We did the chef's tasting table with wine pairing. Amazing. The portions were in the right size - i.e. small enough so you could enjoy each course from start to finish. Each course was served with nice explanations of how the dish was prepared. Service was amazing. It would be a tad nicer if it was a view restaurant, but the food more than made up for this. We had an enjoyable two and a half hour dinner and loved just talking and enjoying the amazing food. Service was exceptional.

  • The wine pours with the tasting menu were superb

    The food was delicious. The server was great and explained every nuance to each dish. The wine pours with the tasting menu were superb in quality, pairing, and volume. The wine pairing is a great value. All 4 people at the dinner loved the food.

  • Simply beautiful presentation of dishes and restaurant

    Located in the Intercontinental Hotel, the vibes are very classy which already prepares you for an elevated experience. I've been following their seasonal menu changes for a while now and I recognize that they have signature dishes that rotate with their seasonal menus. Don't feel like you're missing out from a complete experience as signature themes are found with every seasonal change. Service was top notch as dish descriptions were perfect and we just had a very pleasant experience with all the waiters. Food came out perfectly timed at the end of each of our courses.
