I was here for a beautiful wedding. And I ate. A lot.
Food: the cocktail hour was so good that I had a bit of everything and nothing seemed unimpressive. From Shrimp Cocktail to pasta to pork and beef, everything was just perfect. I ordered steak for dinner, which was cooked the way I like. The lobster appetizer and scrumptious dessert makes me drool just thinking about it (see photographs I've uploaded).
Service: everyone here is trained so well and is extremely attentive. Our table was served quality drinks and there always seemed to be wait staff on standby to take care of us.
Decor: Stunningly beautiful. Everything is tastefully done. Nobody's rushing anyone anywhere.-

I went there yesterday for lunch with my friend. Everyone said great things about this restaurant, so we said "why not?! Let's try!"
We ordered the lunch menu (25USD) which includes a choice of three different starters, three main courses and dessert.
I chose to have the Octopus carpacio and for main course the Chicken Cacciatore. It was quite good but portions were really minimal. But still tasted good.
The reason why I gave it a two stars, it is because for the awful service we had not from the server, but from the manager on duty (A gentleman with glasses and a pink tie). When we entered into the restaurant he was seating at the bar and when he saw us, he just stood up like nothing happened and without any smile or welcoming attitude. When we asked for the dessert (which took quite a long time), he just told us " it's coming ". No apologies or guilt signs. When we asked for the dessert for the second time, he came with 2 extra bowls of ice cream to apologize. The intentions were good but the way he did it was extremely rude. He just "threw" the 2 extra bowls of ice cream on our table and left without saying anything. We felt like he just wanted us to "shut up" and eat our ice cream and leave. Never met any manager like that.
I would go back because overall food was good and servers were kind. But with such a manager around, I would just lose my appetite and my mood. -

Review is for NYE party held here
Came here with a large group and we had a seated table (without bottle service). It was pricey but I'll say overall it was worth it. Staff was very very friendly, lines for the bar were never too long. Crowd was dressed very nicely. You can wear anything from a nice jacket and tie to a tuxedo if it pleases you. (weren't too many people in tux's though). The music was pretty fun (started off lame though)
The venue itself is GORGEOUS, very big and spacious. The only thing I will say is initially coming inside the music from the door sounded kinda crazy cause it was bouncing around in too much space. Near the dance floor it sounded fine though. The dance floor did get a bit crammed later but at least everyone was friendly.
If you get the seated table you can either be near the dance floor (loud, but near the action) or kinda far away in a corner in another side. Both have their pluses. We ended up being kinda far away which was good when we wanted to talk but it wasnt as lively if you want to hear the music. If you want to be closer to the action i suggest you request that or maybe you have to have a bottle table? not totally sure. Hors d'oeuvres were actually really really good. It's a shame we were so full we didnt get chance to eat much of them. If you have a table they bring out some just for you.
Overall I would definitely recommend if you can afford the price tag. It's a fun experience which is not the s%&tshow that some new years eve's parties are. Good mix of lively people but a little more mature. Great way to avoid amateur hour without being so uptight that its dull.
