Came here to celebrate my husband birthday! the food is well presentated and the dish is tasty. really nice and awesome for their service. Eventhough it is alittle troublesome to get here without car but still, the place is great with nice ambience
Great place , had big Pam breakfast with green apple juice. It was the apt amount. Neither too much nor too less. Pet friendly place. Lots of dogs and cats there
Historic house with nice gardens. Fine italian food. I recommend the brunch on saturdays. Otherwise a bit pricey.
Nice ambience! Would have been nicer with more florals around :)
Horrible service due to time mismanagement. The evening was ruined before it started. Very arrogant service at the reception desk from Nicholas. Not suitable for a customer facing oriented job. Better put him somewhere else eg. as dishwasher. Food was great, when it finally was served and the headwaiter tried his best to cheer us up with a glass of complimentary champagne. Location is very nice, just sad, that we never will come back. Hope another better managed place will take over the mansion soon.
Shot a recent wedding here, the place looks amazing, like.. Really amazing, for weddings. Had a ROM in the early evening sky full of gorgeous floral decors, and end off the night in the lv2 restaurant UNA. Food was over the top and their beef steak was the best I've eaten. Will defitnely be back for the vibe and food.
Great restaurant outside of Singapore, oven on a hill with fantastic views of Singapore, service and food top, wine quite priced, thumbs up
Excellent service at TXA! Food was served hot and fast. Nice ambience!
Came here for a wedding dinner and boy, must I say, the setting is impeccable. The service is is wonderful, and the food is superb. It's sad to know that such a beautiful restaurant is going to disappear. A few months ago they exclusively did events, we've learnt that this is the final few weddings. It's a great first and last visit
The perfect spot for any joyous occasion!
Pro tip: Make dinner reservations at UNA, get there some time during the golden hour on a day with blue sky to enjoy the amazing food and ambience.
ps: music playlist could improve
Despite very high-end looks, the price is very affordable. Lunch sets are really value for money.
Great ambiance, Great Service and Nice food.
Nice ambience, parking was quite convenient for us to park just a little down the road despite the restaurant being full house. We expected parking to be difficult but apparently not. Many staff were available around so it was a breeze to get their attention.
Do take note wildseed cafe opens till 4.30pm but you can sit there longer, just that they would handover to the gastrobar with a different menu set and close the outdoor gazebo.
We only had the brie pizza, estrenger beer and wild flower latte. Brie pizza is good, beer is okay. Wild flower latte looked good but was too sweet for us. Looks like a really nice place for a wedding! Hope to try the Spanish restaurant one day.
I came here for lunch. It has a very classy setting. The service I received was wonderful and the food was good. It is rather pricey, so it's more suitable for special occasions. The place is rather difficult to access without a car as it is on a hill and the nearest bus stop is down the hill.
The ambience of the restaurant was great with the olden European style of buildings that were very nostalgic and great photo taking spots, the surrounding are also very quiet and refreshing which made the dining experience even much more pleasing. The staff were well-trained and are highly professional in ushering the guests to their tables.
The food in general is great as well especially their pizza portions are large for the price that you pay, their soft shell crab pasta was very delicious especially for the sauce that is creamy and tantalising.
Overall a great experience for the two times that I ve went, not too accessible by public transport thought there was sufficient parking spaces in the nearby Telok Blangah park
It is a romantic restaurant located in the Hotpark, it serves Western Foods and wines. Price is a little bit high compared to other western restaurants in nearby place, but you get better food and service, and enjoyable environment.
Great food good service, will be back again for their full menu as they had a restricted menu for the opening weekend. Lovely ambience in the portico and outdoor area.
A condominium restaurant built over 100 years ago is closed, waiting for tenants
Had Spanish food at UNA, it was located within a colonial building. It had a good romantic vibe. Spacious place. for couple dinners.
I came with other friends and had a great time here. At first there were some misunderstanding on our reservation and our table was missing utensils, but the staff quickly took care of that and our food was served fast. The surrounding of the place is nice, and surprisingly the ambience during the night is even better. Definitely a good place for date nights!
Flawless place. Seared scallops and pasta were cooked to perfection
Love this restaurant so much. Nice environment and delicious food. Friendly staff. Would suggest you to make a reservation before your visit. Very crowed and you may wait up to 1 hour plus to 2 hours to get seat
Loved the brunch here, and we had a nice anniversary buffet lunch too. Wish there were more promotions otherwise it is quite pricey.
Wildseed Cafe food was awesome and worth it, venue was amazing with good views of the old mansion. Staff were patient and friendly
Went there over the weekend for dinner with my partner. Service was good. Feels as though they were short on manpower. Ordered Pasta - Beef and Pork. (which was really good), Steak (Great as well) but the cheesecake was merely alright. Expected better due to the hype online. Overall, a nice experience.
A high end exquisite restaurant perfect for a romantic date, set in a renovated colonial themed mansion.
I went to Wildseed at Alkaff Mansion for brunch to celebrate my friend s birthday. I didn t have to wait long to be seated indoors. The food was good. We had the prawn and scallop pizza, smashed avocado and mac and cheese (unfortunately, the strawberry shortcake was oos). There were times that it was hard to catch the attention of the other servers, but somehow Ethel Lim managed to spot us and attended to our requests. Overall, it was a good experience! PS: Do not attempt to walk up the hill (it s a steep uphill climb).
Nice place to hang out. Quiet and windy.
Have indoor and outdoor sitting.
Very friendly staff.
Good food. Can come for happy hour.
Food is prepared with care and staff are attentive. Lighting and vibe is also welcoming.
Average and pricy place but The building is amazing!
Went to UNA to dine for a few times and was satisfied with the staff and service. The food is good and environment is so cosy. Suitable for family dinner and dates.
Plenty of outdoor seatings if the weather cooperates. Reservations are encouraged. Food and coffee is good, perfect spot for your after hike fuel.
An amazing and beautiful place to go for good food with family or friends. We were at Alkaff on a Saturday lunch after finishing the Forest and Canopy walk from Hort Park. I ordered Wagku Beef Pie ($14) which was very yummy and my friends ordered pasta and pizzas were happy with their food too. Special thanks to Priscilla, ZongMing and Liea for the great services. Highly recommended!
Went twice once in the afternoon and one for dinner. Morning til 5pm it serves food from the cafe Wildseed. Wildseed has really nice vongole and makes us want to go back for more. From night time onwards it s a bar named pintxo, serving pasta, pizza and more Spanish food. Both inside and outside gives you lots of photo opportunities, great place for dining, gatherings, a romantic place to bring a date. Will be back!
Great place for a medium sized event. On a day to day basis also OK, but events is where they shine.
The lunch set was delicious! Very generous portions of pasta and beef carpaccio. Good value for money.
Beautiful place to relax and enjoy good drinks. Good fresh air to breathe
It's a mansion on the hill. Not entering it yet but wishing to in the future
Went to Alkaff Mansion for a wedding. The food and the place was amazing. Special shout out to Layhung which service was incredible and that made this evening even more special. Thank you.
Historical building and nice ambience, but not for the food.
Definitely a place for quiet dinner and drinks. Service is good, good ambience, Pricing is reasonable for such a location. Not too good for non-drivers though.
Had our office New Year Party back in 2019 here and it was awesome! The vegetarian spread could be better.
This is the worst service you can get in Asia. Waiting for morning coffee 30 min with an almost empty place
Waste of time
wonderful restaurant, amazing food ,super chef
service no so good
The pizza crust was great, the view colonial and the drinks refreshing - perfect afternoon. Not full stars as the staff at times seems a bit nervous. All in all we would definitely be coming back !
Pinxtos bar has a good tasting menu at 55. Value for money. If they offered bread it would be better to soak up the sauce. The venue is quite empty and not very cozy. Have not tried the restaurant upstairs. Strange the owner does not list the food establishments separately.
A great spot. . . well worth the trip up the hill. Park n walk-up a few steps. Well-away from the hustle and bustle. Good menu. Super service. Nice selection of drinks. Magnificent waffles !!
Went there for anniversary dinner. The ambience was to die for. The portion of the food was very luxurious and quite delicious. They surprised us with a brownie with happy anniversary written on the side :D
I used to like Alkaff mansion due to its nice food and good ambience but this visit after circuit breaker is very disappointing and to some extent even a bit annoying. Firstly a group of five of us reach the place by 2pm+ and nobody s at the entrance so we scanned in and entered. Then the waiter came with tone of scolding asking where we heading to? We didn t really care and picked outdoor seat and ordered drinks and a pizza to share, later on when we moved seats to garden area the same staff came and scolded us again for one of us not wearing mask properly. Yes we do understand the rule but we are holding food and moving seats. Afterwards myself picked a client phone call at garden area and accidentally walked towards kitchen area which has no sign of no entering at all, luckily the same waiter came to me and used even louder voice to chase me again, which even made my client on the phone asked me if it s okay to talk right now. Worst thing is, we were overcharged a Ondeh-Ondeh cake which we didn t order at all and we didn t bother to check the bill due to trust until we reached home. Overall experience is BAD especially due to this unfriendly staff. I do believe it s not Alkaff s standard but for this round of visit I rate my personal experience as two star.
Went for the set menu (dinner) with wine pairing at Una. The area is somewhat reclusive, but glad to have chance upon this precious jem. First time here and the food was superb. Personal favourite was the Grilled Carabinero Prawn with Jean Lenon 3055 Merlot. Sommelier patiently shared tidbits of not just the wines we had, but also stories abt the winemaker. That was an interesting interlude which enhanced the overall experience. Many thanks to the wonderful service crew!
Two restaurants here: Una (L2) and TXA (L1). Both under same group with the summerhouse and wildseed at Seletar aerospace. Think Una and TXA share same chef and both focus on Spanish food and tapas etc. Food not bad. Staff are very friendly. Cozy place. It is also allowed to order food from Una and eat at outdoor L1.
Well was here for my birthday. Food was nice. Gf likes the ambiance. I came here last in 1998 for a family friends wedding donkey years ago. On a whole nice place. Food tastes nice sad though I couldn't bite cos of my braces tightening the day before.
Inside ambience is good. Nice niche menu selection. Watch out for mosquitoes.
Outside, the venue is showing her age. Covered walk way from nearest car park is rather run-down. Not ideal if it's inclement weather.
Great and quick service on 1 May! Blue pea flower cake has coconut and gula melaka which I thought was a bit too sweet for my liking. Preferred the lychee cake which was soft, fluffy and less sweet.
The food is good quality and nice ambience.
Level 2 restaurant area can be warm when it's full house. Asked the manager and they told us its the maximum they can lower the temperature to even though there were guests perspiring.
Staff are not as attentive compared to hotels as we have to constantly ask them to top up drinks and beverages.
Physical design of the level 2 dining area means that groups of guests are unable to see the projector screen unless they stand up or move from their tables.
I have had fond memories at Alkaff Mansion back when it was an Italian restaurant. Imagine my delight when they reopened with a pintxo bar concept. When we arrived at this spectacular property, front of house was nowhere to be seen to even show us to our table. Then we got to the seating area and the tables were bare- not even a table cloth in sight nor a tiny flower arrangement as centerpiece to show for. Most unfortunately as well when it came to ordering our food, we have had to keep repeating our food orders at least three times each time we placed an order.
Having said this, Alkaff Mansion is still as stunning as I remember, and the food, impeccable. I am also not discounting the effort that has gone into the upkeep of the property and the quality of their food. However , the service felt disjointed (given the ambience and food) and lackluster.
View and gardens are stunning.
There is definitely opportunity for a good wine list here.
Nicely done up. Little restaurant hidden away at telok blangah. There is limited parking at the top
A bit too expensive.
Friendly staff.
Should have a background music.
Crowded on weekends.
Nice ambience.
Try to choose the outdoor sitting if the weather is good. Nice manicured grass area, gazebo and water fountain adds a nice touch.
Slightly on the higher price side. For reference, their big breakfast is 28 dollars.
Food is of good quality. Coffee is decent.
Service, even though the sitting is spaced out, with what I would consider 2 outdoor sitting areas, the service staff were attentive.
Don't be excited, it's 3.5 stars rating, just being generous.
Service is chaos or nothing at all, food not served timely or worst - - cold. Forgotten serviette and cutleries. I can go on...
Food is good but not authentic Spanish really. Wine very good.
Shame the mansion itself is stunning...
Overall, staff and manager on the floor needs to organise themselves.
Eateries and drinks had changed but rustic feeling is still there
Went to the Sunday buffet with free-flowing champagne. Food great and drink brilliant. Well recommended
Feb 2020. Lovely, lovely Wildseed cafe. Serene, picturesque and left alone. The songs were covered but they were soothing, just lovely to waste tor afternoon here.
We ordered the waffle for sharing, cappuccino, shake etc. Was reasonabe, clinically good. Nothing to shout nor complain about.
I just loved the ambience here.
Food is good. Especially the beef. I will visit again.
Great tastes in a beautiful atmosphere. Great services as well.
Love the ambience of the cafe but it can be quite crowded during weekends. Better to make a reservation before heading down.
Car park is also quite limited because of the park users. Gets even worse when there is a wedding. Good to reach before 9am or after 12pm.
Lovely place to chill out. Pretty wildseed cafe on the right, TXA restaurant bar on the left and UNA Spanish restaurant on second floor serves up great food
Lovely food always. Price is a bit steep, but worth the money for a special occasion.
A great secluded & private environment with a perfect ambience for a romantic perfect date night or a tiny gathering. Built in 1918 and with such rich local history within these walls, its a great topic for discussion for history-lovers or people interested in the colonial times.
Meals were reasonably priced, tasty, delivered promptly and we could tell that they take their customer service seriously too.
Staff were polite, knowledgeable and constantly wanted to know how they could please each customer and what their customers wanted to see on their menu in the future.
For those that don't mind the travel in, it does provide a "unique, getaway feel" that everyone could benefit from once in awhile.
What an amazing place to gather for food and drinks with friends! Secluded but for a very good reason! This place is a gem, truly enjoyed my time there and the food was amazing. Excellent Quality and taste is an understatement for this place! Will definitely return again!
Please make reaervation before you go, food is nice especially the beef pie.
Great food at Wildseed cafe, nice ambience and plenty of space for kids to run ard!
