Vertigo @ Banyan Tree – 3 Stars
Stunning views, sky-high prices, and service that’s more patchy than panoramic. Vertigo delivers on the visuals—Petronas Towers in all their glory, perfect for the ‘Gram—but when it comes to food and service, it’s a steep drop.
We paid five-star prices for two-star food and three-star service. At one point, I had to leave my seat to request napkins and additional drinks. The wine arrived five minutes before the sommelier did—perhaps it was trying to escape?
Food-wise: Nachos with salsa, guacamole, jalapeños, and sour cream. Enough chips for a party of six, but only one person would find the toppings. The meat and cheese board? Hugely expensive and half untouched. A real shame.
Verdict: Come for the view, stay for a cocktail, and take your appetite elsewhere.
