Known for its craft beers, my blond lager was a pleasant thirst quencher. As I happily sipped my beer and perused the menu, it was quite a delightful read as greedy me struggled to decide on what to order.
While the food was decent and the meal highlight for me was the Pig & Snail, a concoction of braised pig tail and escargot (REALLY good!), the other starters/mains were good but not great. Think the greatest disappointment (for me) was the Fat Fries. Although it was a great pairing as part of the Fish & Chips order, it was somehow less spectacular as a standalone side. Ironically, it was too fat for me. (Spruce does this alot better actually and shall rave more in a later post.)
Desserts wise, the platter was awesome for chocoholics while the strawberry cheesecake was interesting but a tad "mushy" for my tastebuds.

| Dessert platter: sinful truffles with a variety of dips. No surprises that my favourites were nutella and nuts while the grated coconut added a nice crunch to my truffle. |
Verdict: While prices are on the higher end of the spectrum and we would have liked larger sharing portions, this restaurant cum bar offers decent food with a great view to boot! Alas, I forgot to check out the supposedly awesome view (I know, what was I thinking!?). Nevertheless, a place one should visit at least once and I would be open to returning to this pitstop for beer (Hooray to Happy Hour!) rather than a full meal.
