Cozy Ambience with Good Food at Affordable Prices
2014-03-11 669 views
We were here on a Friday night and even though the location is a little out of place and there's nothing much in the Maritime House, it was still full house. The ambience had a very old school feeling to it, which was nice in a way. There's just too many swanky new restaurants popping up in recent years and Mariner's Corner just felt really cozy and nostalgic, which I believe is a selling point in itself. The customer service was also consistently good with friendly and smiling staff all around.

One of the staff, an elderly lady, repeatedly told my friend to be careful as her main course was served on a hot plate which was really really hot. She reminded me of a caring yet slightly naggy mother

Escargot in Garlic Butter $21 for a dozen: We ordered a dozen escargots to be shared among the 4 of us. The escargots were soft while still slightly chewy. I absolutely loved the sauce which was made of melted garlic butter. It was slightly salty though.

Half Lobster with NZ Sirloin Steak in Mushroom Red Wine Sauce $27.50: I got myself the half lobster combo, which came with a variety of options like oxtail stew, fish or steak etc. I chose the NZ Sirloin Steak with medium doneness. 

The steak was not bad. It was still pinkish in the centre and easy to chew. The portion was just right for me. The lobster was also good, with sweet, firm and succulent meat. It also had a bit of roe and it smelled really really good when it arrived at the table with very strong grilled lobster smell. The sides were mashed potato, sauteed crunchy long beans and carrot chunks, which were soft and sweet. I thought this dish was really value for money - decent quality and portion of both steak and lobster at $27.50, what more can you ask for!
For those who prefer a set, you can add $4.80 for soup and garlic bread, free flow salad bar, dessert and coffee/tea. On the day I was there, soup of the day was tomato soup and dessert was sliced cake.

I definitely recommend this place to those looking for decent food at affordable prices, and also to those who long are looking for a cozy, nostalgic place to dine and catch up with your loved ones.

 For the price of $4.80, we can top up to a complete meal that consists of coffee/tea/softdrinks, soup of the day and free flow of salad from the salad bar. I will strongly recommend to top up to this complete meal as the selection from the salad bar is quite huge and most of it tastes great especially the coleslaw that tastes a little sour with crispy lettuce.

 Do call for reservation as the place is quite limited and is packed during peak hours. A great place for dinning and the staffs here are quite patient and nice. And most importantly, the food here is reasonably priced and definitely worth coming for more meals again.

Pass by the restaurant many times but never notice its existence or never think that I will patronise it. Until one day I noted their banner outside the restaurant, it was started in the 80s. Then I would think that they could survive for so many years, they should reach certain standard.3 of us reached the restaurant around 6pm, it was still early for the dinner crowd.

 Pass by the restaurant many times but never notice its existence or never think that I will patronise it. Until one day I noted their banner outside the restaurant, it was started in the 80s. Then I would think that they could survive for so many years, they should reach certain standard.

3 of us reached the restaurant around 6pm, it was still early for the dinner crowd. We sat at the window table. Once settle down, I liked the decoration and the atmosphere, it really did look like a 80s restaurant.

We ordered lamb cutlet ($17.00++), ribeye ($18.8++) , sausage with steak ($20.5++) and ½ dozen escargot ($10.2++) to share. We didn’t top up for a full course meal, we just ordered the main dish as the portion was good enough to fill up our stomach. First serve the warm garlic baguette slices, it was nice. Follow by escargot, it really was only escargot. If it could have mashed potato together, it would be much better as the escargot contained so much melted butter. Anyway, taste wise it was ok.

Mine was ribeye steak, it didn’t disappointed me. My mom enjoyed her lamb cutlet. Sausage with steak were generous portion, it was good too. Having said that the baked potato was just ok, frankly it wasn’t the type of potato for baking.

Service crew are promptly doing their work. While we were having our food, dinner crowd started to fill in the restaurant, some of them looked like their regular customers as they chatted happily.

I would say their prices are reasonable with the portion of food serve. We will certainly revisit if we want to have steaks.

I ordered the medium well sirloin steak with grilled lobster set which costs only $18. The steak is tender, moist and juicy and the lobster meat is fresh, delicate and mouth-watering. One good thing is by topping up $3.50, can enjoy free flow salad bar, garlic bread, soup of the day, ice cream and coffee or tea hence is very value for money!

The Ambience
The ambience is cozy with candlelight and soothing music of sentimental love songs best to go with your loved ones. I also experienced the nostalgic feeling whenever I dine in the dim lighting, surrounded by wooden walls, tinted windows, beautiful paintings and checkered table cloths.

The Service
The experienced staff are friendly and approachable and never fail to make me feel comfortable at all times.

The Price
Reasonably priced at $50++ for 2 persons hence is very worth for money.

Overall
I feel very satisfied after having a sumptuous dinner and memorable impression which no other restaurant can give hence recommended to try for all those who never try before !

Anyway on to the food, this is the lovely T-bone steak! Nice medium rare steak at less than $20! Value for money!

Old style steak houses are slowly disappearing with time and taking with them memories of the culinary scene of yesteryear. Many such restaurants have revamped themselves to catch up with modern times, leaving but a pitiful few to keep the line. Mariners' Corner Restaurant & Steakhouse is one such restaurant which still hangs on to a part of history.

Inconspicuously located at the ground floor of Maritime House along Cantonment Road, Mariners' Corner has been around since 1984 and mainly catered to seafarers who dropped by the Singapore Mariner's Club. Decked out to look like a ship cabin, the interior exuded a sense of coziness and warm nostalgia with its carpeted floors, wooden panelings and checkered table cloths.

Mushroom Soup with Garlic Bread - The mushroom soup tasted like your straight out of the can Campbell soup, which was still quite decent while the garlic bread, though generous size wise, tasted nothing out of the ordinary.

Escargot Gastrome - Its been ages since I last ate Escargots. Used to have them on a regular basis when I was in Canada but stopped altogether when I returned to Singapore because of their prohibitively expensive prices here. Well I finally broke the duck and ordered half a dozen at $8, which is rather cheap if you ask me. The Escargots were baked with garlic and butter and came across as very fragrant and tasty with a rather strong garlic taste. Not that I'm complaining though as the garlic helps to mask the rawness of the flesh. However, having said that, I still prefer my Escargots baked with a layer of cheese on top. Just a subtle reminder, please do not expect top quality Escargots for the price though.

Ribeye Steak Combo with Skewered Prawn - Ribeye steak with prawns on a kebab. Whats not to like Plenty actually. The steak, though done up medium rare and of relatively generous portions, was a little soft and limp texture wise. The accompanying mushroom sauce was flavourful though and complemented the lightly charred taste of the steak.

While the steak was still decent, the skewered prawns were a let down. Served with mushrooms and other vegetables, the prawns were unfresh and probably a little undercooked. The only positive thing was that the restaurant actually took the effort to remove the innards of the prawns before grilling it.

Grilled Lobster with Boneless Chicken Fillet - I was shocked by the size of the lobster when this dish came into view. It was huge, at least for the price. Having said that, the amount of meat that came with the lobster was pathetic, weighing in no more than 2 mouthfuls. On top of that, the meat was a little too dry and tough. The chicken fared a little better, with the meat nicely marinated with garlic and pepper, giving it a nice pepperish taste. With the accompanying mushroom sauce, it actually tasted quite decent.

Dinner for 2 in a relaxing environment with excellent service cost >$60, which isn't too much to pay considering we had steak, lobsters, escargots and other stuff like free flow salad, dessert, soft drinks and soup which came with the set meal. Sure, this isn't the best place to enjoy a good quality dinner, not even close. But it makes you feel right at home and prices are considerably cheap for what you get. So if you do go, lower your expectations, kick back and relax.

Frankly speaking, I will not be back for the food, as the oysters were not great, the steak was also not as good as Jack's place's. Hence I rather go to Jack's place's to have steak. The calamari we ordered was good.

I would only go back if it is for the ambience and if I had no better steak options at that area.

My first visit. They have a salad bar. I took all the greenies, corn, tomato, carrots and bread crumps. Oh i love the bread cubes. All drown in thousand island sauce. Fabulous! My main dish is sirloin steak which is medium rare. Don't like it to be too hard. It's pretty delicious, not too hard nor too bloody topped with cheesy prawns. It's fresh and succulent. Will be back for more =)
