After placing our order at the cashier, it took about 10-15 minutes for someone to bring us water, and another 20-25 minutes before our drinks arrived. It felt like quite a long wait, but we were patient.

Then, we noticed another table of 3-4 people received a complimentary dish with an apology for the delay — even though our order hadn't arrived at all yet. So we asked politely when our food would be ready. The response was just, "It’ll be out soon." Fair enough — until the staff member followed up by telling us to "fix ur posture" as they walked away.

While it was tasty, particularly the gambas were quite one dimensional with a large amount of garlic on the prawns and too much cheese. Highly recommend the Benedict though as it was quite light and refreshing for a...
