Visited here to celebrate a dogs birthday party lunch with fellow dog owners and dogs. Place was very picturesque and quaint, and very Bridgerton vibes. There is outdoor and indoor seating, where indoors is very cooling.

The outdoors however is REALLY hot in Singapore weather. I don’t know how people without dogs are choosing to sit outside ?? There are grass lawns and a little fence for your dogs to be unleashed and play in by the fountain, however the dogs figured out how to jump out of the fence by going through the fountain area since it was not fenced up at the fountain.

There is only one BIG fan outside, and so everyone crowded around the fan area. Sadly it was not blowing towards the lawn area so our dogs got really hot especially in the midday sun while playing at the fence area. Would suggest the restaurant put two to three fans or cooling kinds of fans to cover most areas especially if there are PEOPLE and DOGS around the outdoor eating/lawn area. Half the long table could get the fan but the other half could not, so it was pretty humid and hot.

There also should be a bin for owners to dispose of dog poop quickly near the fountain/dog fence area so owners do not need to walk all the way to the smoking area to dispose of the poop bags in the bins there.

Water is luckily provided for the dogs in small bowls, however would wish the staff could have been more attentive in filling them up and more so, using ICE water to fill up the bowls during HOT periods such as Singapore summer afternoons in the earlier part of the year because dogs are prone to overheating and heatstroke VERY easily and this can cause sudden death which of course is a very valid worry all us dog owners have and we hope the team can have a little more empathy and care for our dogs when we bring them out to enjoy pet friendly cafes/establishments. Nevertheless we still filled up the bowls with ice water from our tables when they got empty. Also wished the staff would have been more attentive and dilligent in providing ice water for our table as it took really long to be refilled and as I said it was such a hot day I couldn’t really enjoy myself in such a beautiful location.

Food wise the wagyu burger was nice, mine was slightly over medium but overall taste was alright and portion was big. Mushroom soup was creamy and fragrant and a nice touch to the meal. Lime juice was refreshing but due to the heat it melted so fast (even in front of the fan ) I couldn’t enjoy it well.

Though the place is beautiful, it is completely not wheelchair accessible at all ? You have to climb up stairs to reach the top where the cafe is at. It is pretty hard if you want to bring your elderly family members there who have a hard time walking, or if you are bringing dogs in a pram you need to carry the pram up yourself and walk your dogs up while you’re at it. My friends saw a lady with a pram and two dogs who had no idea how she was going to go up and a friend went to help her carry the pram up. How like that if we weren’t there to help her ? But I also understand it is an old building and probably can’t be helped/ maybe we are unaware of the wheelchair entrance if there already is one. Hopefully there can be some sort of solution in the future to this !

I would visit again but would probably not bring my dog there and opt for indoor seating instead which would probably be far more pleasant and enjoyable.
