The Scottish garden for SR49 ($13) is a standout drink with its balanced mix of berries and hint of cinnamon, while the fresh orange juice was a refreshing and simple classic.

For salads, the crunchy chicken Caesar added a fresh twist to the classic, with crispy chicken atop crisp lettuce and a tangy dressing.

Moving to mains, the truffle pizza for SR97 impressed. The rich blend of truffle paste, fresh black truffles, and mozzarella make it an ideal choice for truffle lovers.

The pappardelle with chicken rounded out the meal, with handmade pasta and balanced mix of tomato sauce, fresh cream, and zesty ginger notes.

Service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a seamless dining experience, while the superb views and welcoming atmosphere further elevated the visit.
