Availability
Food quality is excellent. However the wait staff needs more training to befit a fine dining establishment. They took a long time to serve us. The waiter asked me what starter I wanted when the gourmet dining set clearly stated it already. Cutlery was placed on the table when the plates from the previous course had not yet been removed. Some courses were served by wait staff with shorts who appeared to originate from the kitchen. Wine glasses were not refilled and left empty for the longest time. More training in food presentation is also desired. Waiters either mumbled and left dishes quickly on our table or didn’t say a thing.
Overall the view was the best part but the food & service need to really improve as I was waited for at least 20mins for next dish out.
The menu was very very limited. That was one of the main drawbacks. For such a lovely location I felt the menu was a total waste and did not do justice to the restaurant . The pricing to was way above the level of food served. I would not be going back any time soon.
Overall we had fun. Nice location and setting. The menu seemed limited. I had the seafood soup and the portion was quite small
Very relaxing place with good food. The pizza was one of the best and pasta dish was also great.
It’s my first time to try the daily set lunch menu here. I found the quality and presentation was good, but the menu published online was deceiving. It mentioned at least 3 choices for each course on the website and at the bottom with a price tag of $38++. But when I got to the restaurant, each course has one choice needs to supplement additional $10-$12.... if you add it all up you easily pay $10-$34++ extra, on top of the original price tag of $38. To me this is deceiving, the price tag of additional supplement should have been included in the menu published on the hotel website, to avoid disappointment and misleading. The aircon inside is very cold and hardly anyone dining there. We informed the waiter to adjust the airflow but still ended ip waking out in freezing mode, certainly drag down the dinning experience.
decent place, will not come back again.
Great attentive service with balloons set up for daughter’s birthday and also birthday cake! Thank you for making it an enjoyable experience!
Great service
All good thank you
Great view and location. Amazing service. We went on a Sunday for lunch and the restaurant was quite empty. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the cool sea breeze, the seaview and greenery. All the food we ordered was great and well presented, except the roasted fish we ordered for mains was a bit bland for our palate. Will be back again for sure! Regards Alpana
Being under the accor plus group, we had an enjoyable time at Sofitel and had dinner at the Cliff. Food, service and ambience were of high quality and standards as always. Good job Sofitel and their team at the Cliff!
I booked the Saturday Free Flow Prosecco. As it was an option on their website, I selected it but wrote VERY CLEARLY in the comments "if this is not on offer, please contact me" Did they contact me? NO! Then when i arrive they try to pull the card that it's not Free Flow Saturday. After explaining to the waitress, then the restaurant manager what had happened, finally agreed to give us the free flow Prosecco and never once accepted they DID NOT read the comments.
One of the best lunch experiences every. The lady who looked after us (sorry I forgot the exact name but it was Mildra or something). Her service was extremely professional and friendly and I can confidently say that it was one of the best we have every received. The food was of very good value too!!
Thank you for a great service and always being prompt to help.
Not as good as I expected food wAs average
Overall was ok but not something i was expected from a restaurant in a 5 stars hotel: 1. The restaurant seems to be shorthanded. 2. Ordered a slowcook porkchop but it is not cook (Raw), end up they fried it and return the dried meat to me. It was very disappointing.
View is good. Atmosphere is good. Nonetheless, service needs serious improvement. Took a long time to get the attention of the waiter. Food took 30mins to arrive. Waiter seems to be stuck talking to particular few regular diners only. For such a beautiful restaurant, waiter needs to learn to dress abit better. Wait seems to the game at this restaurant.
We were here for my wife’s birthday and the night was amazing. We prefer a quiet and peaceful environment and there wasn’t many people on Thursday night. Got ourselves a little sofa table at the corner overlooking the ocean. Staff Sabrina was great, service was excellent, always on the lookout on our table and see for herself if we needed anything. Food quality was good too.
It was very disappointed especially being our 31st wedding anniversary celebration. I told the restaurant that we are having that dinner. Saw on arrival that one of the tables had a small decoration but not ours. Suspected throughout the dinner that that table was for us but we were not ushered to it. My wife's food, the crab pasta was cold and miserable as very little ingredients and I had to give her my lobster meal. The food was sour and she suspected that it is not fresh. We ordered her dessert and waited for more than 30minutes and finally did not come and we gave up. The roof where we sat at was dirty and my wife was worried that the rubbish would fall on my meal. There was no service and the Manager came initially but never ever come back to us. I saw one customer near us had lots of complaints too about serving pepper bottle but was empty. Very disappointed and would put on the review next. Lousy place to spend our dinner.
I was there to celebrate my birthday. Other than 2 miserable-looking paper hats placed on the table, there was no other gesture from the restaurant. Probably not because they are not thoughtful but rather seriously under-staffed, inside and outside of the kitchen. Food took close to 2hrs to finish serving after several enquiry on the food. By the time my angus beef came, it was 10pm. I wonder if it was my birthday dinner or supper. Chef/Staff was apologetic and tried to make amends by offering complimentary mushroom soup, which was a kind gesture, but unfortunately, the soup was the most salty soup I have ever tasted. In his hurry, I wonder if the person preparing the soup had a tad too much fun imitating Salt Bae. At 10pm, the plates and glasses from the other tables earlier in the night were piling up as the staff were too busy to clear the tables. It was really not too pleasant a scene. To be fair to the restaurant, the kurobuta pork pizza (I forgot the name of the dish) served earlier was a saving grace as it was really very tasty with appropriate amount of seasoning. Unless the kitchen and the serving staff can get their act together, I would really think twice before going back for a meal.
Staff are attentive and friendly.
A very, very disappointing evening. Services was a Low as in a good court. 15 minutes between my meal and the one of my partner. It took 30 min to receive the drink list. Rose of my Wife received 15 minutes after my cocktail. Tables undressed with all dirty dishes remaining on side of restaurant, disgusting! We tried to tal’ To the Chef or manager but he never showed. Only proactive thing of the staff was to give us the bill and kick us out at 23h!!!
Lovely and relaxing place to chill out. Food better than expected and service was warm and staff attentive. Will be back.
Excellent food and service
