My first visit was for dinner on April 2, 2019, and to this day, the memory of that evening remains vivid and cherished. I still remember making the reservation shortly after checking in at the Marina Bay Sands—a decision I was quietly pleased with.
The restaurant is well known for its signature meatball dish, which is undeniably distinctive and visually striking—quite photogenic, in fact. However, while the presentation was impressive, the meatballs themselves were slightly lacking in juiciness, with a texture that leaned a bit dry. The salad was respectable and competently prepared, though it did not particularly stand out.
The steak, on the other hand, was genuinely satisfying. The exterior achieved a beautiful caramelized crust through the Maillard reaction—lightly crisp with a delicate char—while the interior remained tender and generously infused with juices. Upon slicing into it, the aroma of the beef rose immediately and invitingly. It was, without question, the highlight of the meal.
The ambiance deserves special mention. From the lighting and décor to the carefully curated music, every detail contributed to an atmosphere of romance and subtle mystery. Yet the true masterpiece lies outdoors: the breathtaking panoramic view of Singapore’s most iconic skyline. Situated on the 57th floor, the restaurant offers a sweeping nightscape that elevates the entire experience. If one is fortunate enough to be seated outside—weather permitting—the evening becomes even more exceptional.
In all honesty, the cuisine alone may be described as good rather than extraordinary. However, when paired with such an unrivaled view, the experience becomes something memorable and worthwhile. Although the prices are undeniably on the higher side, I would still consider it a destination deserving of at least one visit.
