    Perhaps my first ever less-than-pleasant Google review, unfortunately.

    My dear friends booked an afternoon tea experience to celebrate my birthday but the distasteful service left a bitter taste, metaphorically and literally speaking, in our mouths.

    Afternoon teas were meant to be special for is because we have been living in the UK for years. The Skai afternoon tea experience went wrong from the start despite arriving on time for our appointment at 3pm and the restaurant was less than 10% occupied:

    1. The receptionist insisted that we came after another customer and gave us a dirty look while serving us, which was inappropriate.

    2. After we were being attended to, we were asked to take a seat because our tables weren't ready.

    3. After a 15-min wait, we were brought to our table. We order our drinks and waited for our afternoon tea sets to be served. We patiently waited another 20mins and seeing customers who were seated after us be served their food before us, we had to feedback. The staff didn"t apologise for our wait and took another 10mins to serve us.

    3. When we were barely started eating our food, we were served a slice of chocolate cake and a candle to celebrate my birthday. I politely requested to be served after our meal because we just started eating. 3/4 into meal, we were again served the chocolate, as if having the cake shoved into our face so that we can quickly finish our meal and leave. Again, we requested to have our cake after our meal.

    4. When we were finally ready to have our birthday cake, the cake was served to us without having our tables cleared. Despite our request to clear our tables fully cleared, the tables were half-cleared leaving us no space and may I add, the ambience to sing the birthday song, blow the candle and cut the cake.

    5. To add insult to the injury, we were the only customers to be informed that the restaurant will be closed exactly at 5pm to turnover for dinner service. When we left, there were at least 4-5 tables who were still seated way past the closing time of 5pm.

    I have a been a regular of SKAI for many years. While the service was inconsistent during my past dining experiences, it wasn't truly unpleasant. This rude, rushed and demeaning afternoon tea experience is the last straw. This concludes my last visit to SKAI.

    The only saving grace for SKAI is the breathtaking view but then again, there are make rooftop restuarants with quality food and service that are worth patroning.

    Goodby, SKAI.

    I have been coming to SKAI restaurant almost once a month for over a year now, specifically for the Pork Chop—it’s incredibly juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Achieving this level of quality requires exceptional culinary skill, and SKAI delivers every time.

    As a pork chop lover, I have tried many including Porkmahawak across Singapore in various top restaurants, and SKAI’s pork chop stands out as the best—both in taste and value for money.

    A special thanks to Restaurant Manager Iswadi, who made a fantastic recommendation to pair the Burrata as an appetizer, followed by Beetroot and French fries alongside the pork chop. This combination, with the added vegetables, truly elevated the dining experience.

    Iswadi’s professionalism and attention to detail did not go unnoticed.

    I will definitely be back for the pork chop in the coming weeks!

    We had much expectations about the place…The service was sloppy with waiting for about 10 min before getting the ordered water. The wine came in OK and served appropriately.
    The food… hmm. We ordered the dinner chef menu (4 courses). The pre starter was ok and the Hokkaido scallop enjoyable. The mains weren’t. The cod was too cooked and anything but salt. The sirloin (ordered medium rare) came nearly well done. And the dessert… what was it again that gave this lasting impression? Can’t remember.
    Oh! And the most ridiculous was on the bread… they served a small loaf of milk bread (hmmm, who does when anyone expects sourdough…) and when we asked for another one (and we would obviously have paid for)…. This never came.
    Lastly, at the time of booking there was an interest regarding the booking for which I mentioned ´Anniversary ‘
    Was there any acknowledgement or even a small token of appreciation ? None…
    If you are into impressing a date with a view, this place may work as long as you have no good expectation on the food and/or the service and you don’t mind paying well overpriced dinner
