Ember at Hotel 1929
Perhaps I had too high expectations prior to my visit to Ember restaurant, after reading all the good reviews about this restaurant. It's supposedly a restaurant, which sets trends, ie quite hip lah.
The layout was nice, in a boutique hotel, pretty near to Oriental Plaza, where This Fashion has a store. LOL! It's also near Blk 333 in C-town. LOL!
But now I know. I should always take it down 2 notches whenever I read reviews about fancy restaurants in Singapore. It's like a nice restaurant along 9th Ave in Hell's Kitchen leh. I think so far, Les Amis au Jardin lives up to the sheeshee-ness but it's also like an oldman restaurant, ala Plaza Hotel, Smith and Wolensky, old man waiters in jacket kind. LOL!
However, I'd say that the service at Ember was good. The waitress wasn't some young bodoh waitress but an experience knows-her-stuff waitress but she still forgot to give us breadplate at the beginning. Geesh...
But the food was pretty good overall.

well, i was there few days before you were. I don't like the attitude of the recept staff at the hotel to be honest. I was innocently waiting at the lobby waiting for my friends when this guy came over and told me off about shooting pictures in the lobby. He said that i have to pay to take photos. Yes i had a camera in my hand, so?? In the end at the end of dinner, the wait staff also took photo at the lobby of our whole group what! what the!?!
