Coffee needs improving . Food acceptable. Views fabulous

I have stayed at Peninsula Hotel in the past but this was my first time dining at the rooftop bar. Upon walking in, the area was clean and modern and a sign containing the dress code contained no slippers. I was greeted by a man who didn’t seem to understand English. I asked him if it was possible to have a table and to dine without a reservation now (which I didn’t think would be an issue as it was empty). He didn’t seem to understand.... after a few minutes of awkwardness I was able to select a table and headed up to the second floor. When I sat down at a table, he only then asked if I wanted a menu.... then disappeared downstairs and a few minutes later I was greeted by a half enthusiastic waitress who delivered two books - one drinks menu and one food menu. The price for food starts about $19SGD and carries on upwards to almost $40SGD. The cocktails start from $15SGD upwards to whole bottles at a staggering $150SGD. I ordered a brandy Alexander and Sweet sour pork with steamed rice. It arrived quickly and promptly and was presented very well. However, the serving size disappointing with merely a palm serving size of chicken and plenty of tomatoes and capsicum and lettuce leaves, the best part was the plain steamed rice, cooked to perfection. The sauce and glaze, disappointing, it lacked flavour. I ordered a pannacotta dessert, and a Jack Daniels and a cocktail for my lunch companions who had just walked in. Their drinks arrived very quickly, the dessert took 18mins (still empty restaurant). When it arrived, I was extremely pleased with the presentation. Pannacotta with what looked like Jam on top and sided with a single strawberry, glaze, 4 blueberries and what appeared to be an mini orange tomato. Beautiful presentation 5/5 and serving size much better ?. However the taste was comparable to that of an old custard. The blueberries sour (which can’t be helped), the strawberries nice. But the winner was the orange tomato which surprisingly was very sweet. It is also worth noting that this place at NIGHT time has the best views of the City and excellent picture ops. If I had to rate my experience based solely on the views alone, it would be 12/10! Phenomenal views. So you may wonder why I have decided to overall rate my experience 2/5. There are a few reasons: Whilst understandably this is a restaurant with excellent views of the city, located at the top of a prestigious 4 star hotel.... the staff lacks the enthusiasm and top notch service to match it. Everything was either not understood or given with attitude from the staff. The main reason was because whilst myself and my colleagues were dining and attempting to converse about our business, one of the employees decided to turn on the loud vacuum cleaner right next to us. Not only could we not hear each other talk, I couldn’t even hear myself speak! It started downstairs then continued upstairs for what felt like 10minutes. This is not what I consider fine dining. Not only could we not talk but I was still attempting to eat my food and keep it away from the dust coming out of the vacuum cleaner a mere step and half away from me. At the end of the experience, my ears were ringing and I was left with a poor taste in my mouth. So 2/5 overall, my suggestion? Eat and drink elsewhere and just come up for the view.

Good food, but real attribute of this hotel is the spectacular view of the city. Never very crowded and possible to reserve the entire second floor of the restaurant where there is a balcony.
