Food: Plastic-flavoured dessert

Not all sweet endings are pleasurable. The ice cream here is a prime example, a confection blessed with the unique aftertaste of plastic. It's also a slap in the face to your sweet tooth, thanks to its sickly sweet finish that lingers more than necessary. A seafood or two might be fresh, but that means nothing when dining with a rancid cousin. The taste, freshness and value is subpar with poor layout and service forming a tragic chorus.

  • Okay Taste

    Food quality and presentation nice, not most functional for groups.

  • Bad Value

    Layout and service rated poorly, affecting overall experience value.

Vibe: Ambiance needing tune-up

The Upscale ambiance is seemingly pleasant, however, minor service issues and layout inconveniences throw unwanted sprinkles on what should be a delightful ambience sundae. One cannot fully immerse themselves into the ambiance when interference strikes every now and then. It's like enjoying a symphony with intermittent static.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Upscale ambiance with minor issues in service or restaurant layout.

Perks: Cramped group seating

Not all get-togethers are festive, especially when potted into cramped booth seats. Group meals become exercises in 3D tetris, with patrons finding themselves short on table space for group platters. The crowd management doesn't fare better. Service is slow, staff are unhelpful, avoidant, and seemed to have skipped Menu 101.

  • Bad Service

    Service slow, staff unhelpful and avoidant, lacked menu knowledge.
