We had a super delightful experience at Bistango, particularly in sharp contrast to the ogles and judgmental looks from the rooftop bar of the same hotel.
We came on a Saturday evening after a beautiful sunset on the rooftop of the Kimberly Hotel, and thankfully had a reservation for this quasi-busy, small, but quaint, restaurant. There are only about 10 tables in total, which meant that the waitstaff were super attentive, patient, and overall kind. The lobby was a bit quirky with the blue-backlit aquarium (in the truest sense -- coral and all) flanked with gaudy seating around.
Although we were a pretty tame Bachelorette party of 7, nobody in the restaurant -- clientele or waitstaff -- treated us any differently. We ordered a burrata and truffle fries as appetisers to share, and each got a variety of flatbreads and main courses (the eggplant parmesan for me). We were surprised with not one, but TWO rounds of free champagne for all of us with hefty pours each time. We were truly floored by the generosity.
In terms of food, the burrata salad was amazingly fresh with a delicious pesto I wish I had access to all of the time. The truffle fries were not overpoweringly fungi-ed, which is my usual concern. My friends only had positive things to say about the flatbreads, while my eggplant parmesan hit the spot as well -- filling, but not too heavy and just the right balance of flavours.
I have zero complaints about this place. If you're in the area and want a solid positive experience, come to Bistango and you won't be disappointed.
