It was my birthday and while deciding what to eat for dinner at Vivocity, we stumbled upon The King Louis Grill & Bar, which was hidden a couple of mins away from DIASO.The deco was pretty cool and it was quite crowded. As we were in a large group (8 pax) we could only seat at a row of table just in front of the entrance. As we didn't really want to sit smack in front of the entrance, we asked for another seat. The waiter then brought us to another seat, which was very dark (cos the light bulb a
The deco was pretty cool and it was quite crowded. As we were in a large group (8 pax) we could only seat at a row of table just in front of the entrance. As we didn't really want to sit smack in front of the entrance, we asked for another seat. The waiter then brought us to another seat, which was very dark (cos the light bulb above us had blew). So we basically fumbled around for a bit as it was quite hard seeing our food.
Food:
We ordered the 'Knight's banquet', which consists of about 3-4 slices of steak, chicken, caramelized fruits and fries.
After waiting for AGES, our food finally came, we gobbled the food up as we were hungry, but were terribly disappointed.
First off, the food was cold. Why it was even cold did not make sense to me. Had they cooked the food and left it out for some time as there were not enough staff to serve? The meat were hard and tasteless, and the only plus side was the sauce which i liked. Had to ask for more sauce to 'swallow' down the rest of the meat.
Do note that the portions are quite big, so you may want to share a platter amongst 2-3 persons.
Ambiance & Service:
Overall service was slow and the staff seemed confused. The plus side was that there was a live singer, and all the medieval deco and lightings really brings up the atmosphere. It was such a pity because i really liked the ambiance but the service and food were just not up to mark.
I did not enjoy this experience and will never come back here again for their expensive and tasteless food that they claim is 'fit for a king'. Maybe next time when they have improved on their food, will i be back again.
