Kaarla Wood-Fire Grill and Bar

Highly recommend with all my heart! We recently dined at this restaurant as customers from Poland, and it was a true feast for the senses! We ordered several dishes, and every single one was absolutely wonderful – fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and simply delicious.🤤 Huge praise for the service-the waiters Nelson and Mex are real stars! They were incredibly kind, professional, with a great sense of humor, and took care of every detail. Thanks to them, we felt truly special – their warmth and attention to guests will stay in our memory for a long time. And the cherry on top is that incredible view from the very top of the city at night-the twinkling lights below create a magical atmosphere that's impossible to forget. If you're looking for a place for a special dinner, this is the perfect spot

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Nelson, who provided us with thoughtful food recommendations, helped take photos of my wife and me, and took care of all the little details throughout our visit. He was highly attentive — anticipating our needs and doing his utmost to assist us at every moment. Even though we did not indicate in our reservation what we were celebrating, he seemed to sense that we were celebrating my wife’s new venture at work and made the experience even more meaningful. His service was genuine, warm, and carried out with the utmost professionalism. Kaarla is truly blessed to have such a high-quality team member who serves wholeheartedly.

We enjoyed the Garden-to-Table High Tea at Kaarla by 1-Arden, paired with a stunning city view and a lovely garden-inspired concept. We chose the Karigane Hojicha with Mint and Lemon Myrtle and the Milky Oolong with Marigold, both beautifully fragrant and soothing, easily the highlights of the afternoon. The savouries were creative and refreshing. The Compressed Watermelon with yuzu and crispy strawberry offered a playful burst of flavour, while the Edamame Hummus Tart was light and nutty with hints of coriander and marigold. The Spicy Tuna Maki Roll and Shrimp Tempura Maki Roll were fresh and well-balanced, though not particularly distinctive. On the sweet side, the Hana Mochi Yuzu was delightful with its floral marigold notes and red bean paste. The Mini Pavlova stood out for its lemon myrtle jelly and crisp texture. The Basque Cheesecake was creamy but mild, the Mini Golden Lamington nicely layered yet slightly sweet, and the Lemon Aspen Tart provided a pleasant citrus finish. Overall, each bite was thoughtfully made and visually appealing, tasty but not extraordinary. It’s a lovely spot for a relaxing afternoon and a sensory garden experience, especially if you love tea.

We were disappointed with service. There were 3 part-time staff who seemed completely untrained, and maybe 2 full-time staff only took orders and served one dish. Everything else — clearing plates, refilling water, serving the rest of the food — fell on the part-timers. Handling heavy plates and knives without proper care made the evening stressful rather than enjoyable *Scary!* serve from wrong direction and wasn’t using a tray to collect dirty plates!! We brought cake, but when we asked for it to be served, there was no knife or plate, and we had to ask for forks ourselves 🫠 ~For the prices charged, the service clearly needs serious improvement and proper staff training. The restaurant wasn’t even full — about 70–80% on a weekend — so there’s no excuse for this level of service for this place I’m looking forward to suggest for business lunch/dinner 🙊 On the bright side, a few dishes were good: 👍🏻 the wood roasted pumpkin, the Spiced edamame hummus dip & Parker Brioche. But the Roasted Tiger prawn ($22), Murray cod ($52), we didn’t like Smoked Kangaroo ($26) maybe 🤔 the meat isn’t our liking and grilled vegetables were overpriced, not fresh, and not worth trying. Overall, disappointing experience due to poor service, despite a few good dishes. ~Hopefully management invests in proper training because the potential is there. If there is good lunch promotion maybe 🤔 can consider if not wasted the work by kitchen team!

My family and I truly enjoyed our evening at Kaarla. Food was good. Most impressed with the service staff. The team is wonderful. Friendly, helpful and service oriented. They delivered top notch service! Kudos to Gifford, Jay, Keisha and Zairy. Thank you for making my birthday special! Much much appreciated.❤️

More than just a rooftop bar, Kaarla Oumi captures the modern, world-class spirit of Singapore and is well worth a visit. Elegant yet relaxed, with well-crafted drinks and flavourful wood-fire dishes that complement the amazing 360 Singapore skyline perfectly.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner here as a couple. The atmosphere was great, with a beautiful view of the sea and Marina Bay Sands, very relaxing and romantic. The service was excellent, friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Overall, the food was nice and well presented. The only downside was the wagyu, which was a bit too fatty and slightly charred on the outside for a medium rare. Aside from that, it was a pleasant dining experience and a nice place to celebrate a special occasion.

The food wasn't really to our expectations and the portion sizes are tad small for the price. The service and ambiance is great though. Celebrated our anniversary at this location for the vibes but we left having to snack on Mcds afterwords. This is also after each of us getting a main + starter.
