The wine list is extensive, the service very professional and sitting in the outside area you could feel that you are really in the Piazza Palorma. No catering to Singaporean palates here. At night it is all black, so for the view you must go here for lunch. The usually seafood buffet lunch matches the view for impressiveness, and the different levels and design of the restaurant mean that it never seems too crowded. The A La Carte menu is comprehensive.
Bookings are fairly essential at most times.
But enough of Nick and his cronies. There are few finer imbibing holes in the Lion City, in-amongst one of the nicest restaurant precincts in the world. The Peranakan Place area in Orchard boasts several great restaurants in the vicinity, including the well known Saxophone. Esmirada Mediterranean Restaurant has excellent food to go along with the Peranakan ambience. A relaxed and refined atmosphere, suiting those with similar qualities.
