An unexpected dining experience. Excellent service by staff. I had asparagus risotto and hubby the steak - both excellent and cooked as requested. It is a rather expensive but as a 'one of ' treat acceptable but not for every evening. We drank Aust wines which were good but expensive.

You should try the Filet Mignon! The atmosphere in the restaurant is great and you can also enjoy a good glass of wine in the lounge with a view of the Petronas Towers. Absolutely worth it...

Food good & plentiful but expensive. Wine indifferent and very expensive but worst of all was the lack of adherance to the dress code & lack of its enforcement

Loved the food and ate here twice. Very convenient if you are staying in the hotel. The first night we had lobster the second time scotch fillet steak. Both times the food was cooked perfect and the choice of sides very nice with asparagus the main flavour. Good if you like Western style food.

Booked a table here for our last night at the end of a two week trip around Laos and Cambodia as a treat and it was also our wedding anniversary. Wish I had not bothered.

Too bad we had to send back the Wagyu beef as it was totally hard and uneatable. The next piece was better however still by far not worth the price we paid for it. The location is nice and the staff was friendly. Go to the skybar instead which is really cool.
