The Servers at Wonderland Bar are...

Wonderland Bar was absolutely gorgeous and the staff is amazing! The food was also great, but the drinks were definitely a hit or miss (mostly a miss for me and my party).

When you first enter, you're practically greeted by almost the entire staff and then served a non-alcoholic welcome shot which was really good. Personally, given that this is a cocktail bar that mainly focuses on drinks, I think the shot should have been alcoholic or at least those who did not want alcohol could have an option of a non-alcoholic shot.

We tried 8 drinks total & unfortunately, only two of them were really good whereas two others were just okay. This definitely depends on your taste, but it was disappointing that not even half of the drinks were good. Also, not every single drink has some kind of theatrics behind it which we didn't have a problem with, but thought it could be separated out for people.

Wild Perfume - Sweet/Sour, definitely recommend, great theatrics Pixie Kiss - Sour, definitely recommend Shiso Leaf - Okay, not much flavor, great theatrics, but still recommend Wabi Sabi - Spicy, surprisingly decent enough to drink, but wouldn't order it again Wonderland - Strong, difficult to drink as the flavor just wasn't good, great theatrics, definitely wouldn't recommend A Summer Saturday - difficult to drink as the flavor just wasn't good, definitely wouldn't recommend All My Lovin' - difficult to drink as the flavor just wasn't good, definitely wouldn't recommend The Sweet of Bitter - difficult to drink as the flavor just wasn't good, definitely wouldn't recommend

The food was surprisingly really good though there aren't much options which was fine. There's definitely enough to have a filling meal.

Truffle Fries - Really good, definitely recommend Chicken Skewers - Okay, difficult to chew and remove from the skewer, wouldn't order again Beef Noodle Soup - Really spicy which I loved, hands down the best item on the food menu from what we tried, wish the portion was slightly bigger, highly recommend

Overall, though majority of the drinks we tried weren't great, the food was really good and we loved the ambiance so much. Will definitely...
