OUR SERVICE HEROES – JULY & AUG 2021
Outlet of the Month – Dopo Teatro Ristorante & Bar
Had a ribeye 500grams daily special, done medium rare, and the stuff squid, really enjoyed the meal thanks to John’s recommendation. Ended the meal with the pistachio Canoli, would definitely come here again! Special mention to John, he is very welcoming and attentive to us and makes a good recommendation. Would come again!

Awesome food and great service! Had dinner for 4 pax and all the dishes recommended by John, who was friendly and informative, were excellent! The steak was cooked to perfection, the stuffed ikameshi had so much flavor, and the pistachio canoli was absolutely delicious. I definitely will return to check out the other dishes.

Tried this restaurant during my staycation around the area. Awesome customer service from John and Anna. Especially John who ensures you are well taken care of and recommends their best dishes according to your preference for the night be it a light or heavy meal, he gets it right. Pasta Ansari was balanced in its taste on the first night. Truffle Mushroom Arancini was a great appetizer to start with. It can be quite filling too…remember to share if you were to order it.
-Matthew Yap
Both the food and service are very good! Squid ink pizza is out of the world, topped with crunchy prawns and tender squid rings. The crust is so fluffy that you’ll want to continue chewing on it. The steak was very tender too with delish potatoes and really sweet grilled tomatoes. Will be back another time to try more pizzas.

A great, chill restaurant at the Esplanade Bay. Great service and recommendations by John who is passionate about the food served. The chef’s Paul and Mart make fresh pizzas from scratch and you can watch them as they toss them in the kitchen!
-Kira Lim Soprano
Fun dining experience – the service by John and Anna was great. Ordered the recommended steak and it was a hit. I’m not a seafood fan but their rice stuff squid was great. Love the focaccia served before our meal and eventually, we packed one home! Would love to try their pizza and pasta next time. They welcome kids and I would definitely bring my child and go back again.

Hi all. 👋 must say my experience with the food and staff here is one of the best I have come across. I normally don’t leave a review but I just had to say chefs Richard & john, Ana, and the crew really make me feel welcome … although our family can’t dine in together as not all taken the vacancies. It’s still a great take-out experience….. at least they treat you with respect and warmth! It is indeed a very good restaurant. The chef’s skill is superb! The waiter warmly received! Although the family can not eat in (there are Chengyuan but not the seedlings), but they are still sincerely and kindly entertained!

Great food. Good service. This restaurant is not a place to rush a meal, but to savour complex flavors and enjoy the company of your friends. Many things are made in-house and the complexity and attention to detail in the food shows. We have had hand-made pasta, meats (beef, chicken, fish, seafood), house-made ice cream. The flavor profile is sophisticated and the ambiance elegant and unassuming. The chef has fed my friend and me for ~10 years in various restaurants, all good. This is a new outlet, but the quality is classic.
They do takeaway platters. We’ve eaten those for some of our weekend family meals. They are very good. The key difference between the takeaway platter and eating at the restaurant is this: the takeaway platter’s flavor comes from the high-quality food that the chef provides. Eating at the restaurant, the food is both testament to the quality of the food and skill of the kitchen team. Take your time to know the staff and the kitchen. Respect their craft. You will find over time, the kitchen reciprocates in their repertoire beyond the menu.

Staff of the Month – Anand from Barossa Steak & Grill
Anand’s service was amazing. He was very attentive and always provide for our requests. Free flow of beverages from 5-7 pm is really worth the pocket and I’ll surely come back for his service. He is the best in the industry.

Words from our Diners for other Restaurants
I am an avid fan of Suki Suki Thai & have been visiting the outlet at Khatib often. Today, 29th August, was my first time visiting the Toa Payoh outlet and I was really impressed with the service given by the team. I also recognized a staff, in particular, Shidah, which I clearly remembered from the Khatib outlet. With that being said, for a customer to remember a staff can only mean that she had given a very good impression of herself and the great hospitality she had given towards the customers. I am sure the company treasure and recognized her excellent service. Please convey my praises to her! Thank you.
-Azirr

Hi, I would like to compliment your staff at the Vivo outlet on their impeccable service. I will like to highlight your manager Jo in particular, she went the extra mile to make my girlfriend’s birthday such a memorable experience!!!
–Mandy Oh
The second time I’ve been here this week. The food is good and the service crew is very proactive. For the price point, Tajimaya is definitely on par or maybe better than its comp set Gyu Kaku both in terms of food quality and service. Would definitely come back again soon. Huge shout out to Kevin and the team for taking such good care of us!
-Llyord Sng
Always a happy dining experience for me and my parents at Suki-Ya, Plaza Singapura. Especially delighted in the consistent awesome service provided by your Staff, Doveca. She is always smiling, so hospitable, and very attentive. She is definitely a keeper. Would love to see her high level of service more in Singapore. Kudos to the Suki-Ya team.
-Tess Paulo
Went to their place at Esplanade and tried their food and I can say it was one of the best restaurants I have been to. Their pork chop was fantastic, and I can say it was one of my favorite dishes. Thanks to their Kitchen staff who put so much effort into their food and most especially to John who always makes sure that everything is ok and for recommending good dishes to try and thanks to Anna as well. Overall, their service and food deserve more than 5star ratings. I Will definitely come back again and for sure will recommend this place to my family and friends
-Iannz Micheallz
The caramelized Iberico pork belly is to die for!!! Definitely order it with a bowl of rice. You will not regret it! This fried chicken mid joints with peanuts and their special sauce were love at first bite too!! The manager Mr. Andrew Pek always greets me with a warm smile and excellent service! Even when I couldn’t make up my mind on what to order, he patiently gave me recommendations and waited for me to make up my mind. He frequently checked with me on how’s the food, if it’s good if I have any special requests etc. He makes every visit a delight with a combination of his excellent service and the restaurant’s awesome food!
-Su Yuen Chin
I was served by Rowena at Sukiyaki Kovan. She was very warm-hearted and friendly. I celebrated my birthday lunch and I was served with a complimentary cheesecake with free photography and a birthday card which I did not expect it. It was a very nice experience dining there, Rowena and other staff were fast at their service. Great job!
-Alice Chua
I had a wonderful dining experience at Sukiya at Marina Square today. Mr Jimmy was very friendly. He chit chat with us after noticing that we are very quiet. Being extremely attentive to our needs, Mr Jimmy offered to bring us the ice cream at the end of the dinner without us asking. He also sent us the food quickly after we had made our orders. Wonderful experience at Sukiya because of the tip-top service of Mr Jimmy! Definitely coming back when dining in is allowed again! Hope to see Mr Jimmy again next month!
