We dined here on Saturday, 21 February at 8pm, booked by friends visiting from the US who were staying at the Four Seasons. Unfortunately, one of our friends fell seriously ill and was unable to attend the dinner.
The service was the main disappointment of the evening. One of the waitresses — possibly the manager — appeared visibly impatient while taking our order and gave the impression that she could not wait to be done with us. She also commented that we had ordered “too little,” which felt unnecessary and came across as condescending, leaving us uncomfortable as diners.
In addition, when we asked about credit card promotions, we were given a flat “no” without any explanation. After later noticing promotions advertised on the DBS website and probing further, the response shifted to a vague verbal comment that “maybe Chinese New Year, no promotions,” with no clarity on terms or conditions. The lack of a clear, courteous explanation — and the dismissive manner in which the query was handled — suggested either unfamiliarity with the promotions or a lack of willingness to explain. A more informed and polite response would have been appreciated.
The food, however, was excellent and ultimately the saving grace of the experience. The dishes were refined, well-executed, and fully deserving of the restaurant’s strong reputation. The kitchen clearly operates at a very high level.
For a restaurant of this calibre, service should match the quality of the food. While the cuisine was outstanding, the service fell short of expectations, resulting in a mixed overall experience.

Peking duck served with caviar, first time trying and it was exciting. This is definitely the better Peking duck you can get in Singapore.

Other dishes taste pretty average here and price is on the higher side. Service is great though and the restaurant has a very nice Chinese decor.

Other than the duck, their complimentary birthday cake impressed us too.

If you are looking for Peking duck and celebrating a birthday, this is the place to go.
