Definitely "not recommend" !

Definitely "not recommend" !
I have never been to a restaurant anywhere in the world where they charge you for tap water. When I questioned the bill, the attendant was very apologetic & polite whilst also commenting "this is Singapore" ?

Aside from the above we ordered Gnocchi with cheese sauce & a calamari dish to share amongst three of us before deciding on the main course. 8 or 10 pieces of gnocchi turned up in a cheese "soup consistency" sauce which barely tasted of cheese. It was quite honestly the worst gnocchi I have experienced.
Calamari was average nothing to comment about either way...

Mains were;
Pizza Capricciosa which was decent but at SGD 33.00 not wow.
The veal schnitzel which was the best dish of the night.
Finally the third member of the group ordered rigatoni al ragu carne... The best thing I can say about this dish was that "we sent it back". It was honestly terrible...

To summarise, with the exception of the service, which was decent, the overall experience was poor & definitely not deserving of the price... It is way too expensive...

As an aside, any restaurant that charges for tap water needs to examine its business model/philosophy. For every one dollar earned, it's a thousand dollars of negative customer experience...
