What recent reviews say

The garden setting and complimentary high tea for hotel guests draw positive comments, but food quality and portion sizes disappoint. Service issues include unclear closing times and slow buffet refills, especially in the afternoon heat.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Staff earn consistent praise for warmth and attentiveness, and the food and drink quality keeps people coming back. A relaxed environment, good value, and generous portions seal the appeal, though one visitor noted a staff member sounded dismissive.

The space and pastries draw repeat visits, but food quality has slipped noticeably. Reviewers praise the themed decor and almond croissants, yet report stale cakes and overpriced drinks served in tiny portions. Service was once strong, now described as indifferent or dismissive.

Food comes in big portions with strong flavour across Malaysian and Western plates, backed by staff who remain attentive and patient even near closing time. The space suits casual gatherings and family dinners alike; one reviewer noted air conditioning felt inadequate in interior sections of the restaurant.
