i went with my sister to friends for lunch the other day. We ordered their 3-course 1 for 1 set meal. It was so cheap, the set meal for both of us cost only $35. I selected their smoked salmon involtini with crab salad. For my main course I chose the oven roasted beef flank with crumbs. The smoked salmon is so good, very fresh. The oven roasted beef flank is an ultimate killer. it was so good. they also served it with roadted potatoes and broccoli.

It is just a stone throw away from the popular Holland Village.

When I walked in this modern European Food Restaurant, I already knew that it is a nice place for lunch and then the waitress in a smart black attire came up with 2 leather bound menus. It was relatively quiet with soft music in the background.

The waitress had served my mother well and she was knowledgeable about what the restaurant was serving and its offers. She attended to all our needs and was very patient when we were deciding what to order.

We proceeded to let her know that we were using 2 vouchers and I topped-up $5.00 before GST for ribeye steak.

The food was amazing. It was really delicious and truly melted in my mouth.

It is serving fine European cuisine in semi-formal setting.

Conclusion: My delightful experience at Friends was a pleasant one due to it's quality and presentation of the food served. The place was very cosy and comfortable. Very tasty and enjoyable place. I'll sure go for a 2nd time round with my girlfriend because of the perfectly pleasant waitress.

The ambience is nice & simpleWe ordered the chicken wingsIs like BBQ style & well marinated & cooked & soft& also there's a "chao ta" aromaWe also ordered their pizza with onions & smoky bacon. But the crust on this was a bit odd Is light at first bite, but then it gave way to a residual chewiness. It felt as though they made their own crust & hadn’t let the dough rise enough or something.Overall i rate 5/10

Following the last visit to Friends on April (which yielded good results in taste and enjoyment. see previous review), this recent visit again was a total letdown.

Bought the deal again at $19.90 from deal.com.sg. However, another deal website, bigdeal.sg was offering similar deal at $19. Checked the menu between the 2 deals and not surprisingly, the items were more or less the same. Just differs in the presentation of listing the items.

We were seated at the same place for the 3rd time. -_- The waitress passed a menu list, especially for the deal, to us. Knowing there were 2 different types of the deal - $19 and $19.90, I highlighted this to her and she made a mistake and changed the inital menu list to the $19.90 menu list which we bought. Well, the menu for $19.90 doesn't have a big discrepancy from the $19 one, anyway.

Just as when I started to scan through the items and decide what to eat after the waitress had gone, she came back within less than 2-3 mins to take down our orders. Of course, we were not even ready yet!

I ordered exactly the same food as the last visit. (also fair for comparison, eh)

Starter: Chilled Angel Hair Pasta

How is it? Serving portion had decreased. Taste was not as strong as before. Indulgence level dropped.

Soup: Vongole Clam Broth

How is it? Still ok. Preserved the taste as last time I had.

Main Course: Pan-fried Dory fish with Pineapple Salsa, Garlic Mashed Potato, Lemon Butter Sauce

How is it? Serving portion decreased drastically. The size was really pathetic. Pineapple salsa was little. My mood dropped even further.

Dessert: Marble Cheesecake (mine), Warm Valrhona Chocolate Cake served with vanilla ice cream & seared banana, mango coulis (partner swopped his cheesecake with this, topped up $9.90. Ala carte: $14.90)

How is it? Small slice of cheesecake as expected. The warm chocolate cake managed to brighten my day, finally. The chocolate oozed out as it supposed to be (unlike the one I had in Bakerzin at Tampines One). Finally, a pleasant piece of food.

Service: The staff were prompt in serving but also "very efficient" in clearing the used utensils. No signals or courtesy or "May I clear?" were given to us and the plates were just gone right after we finished the food. -_- They gave us a feeling that we should be on our way to the exit door.

This restaurant, once a forward-looking place for me, has now become a history to me. Sad to say, this will be my last visit.

Starter: Chilled Angel Hair Pasta & Lumpfish Caviar tossed with Seaweed, Chives and White Truffle Essence

How is it? Oh my god... this was soooo yummy!!!!!!! It was served cold. One mouthful of it and it was gone! Heavenly~ I just love everything about it. A must for starter during all my visits so far. I would be very delighted if I could choose this as the main course (with large serving, of course
).

Soup: Homemade Mushroom Soup topped with Truffle Essence (1st visit), Vongole Clam Broth (2nd visit)

How is it? Not just a typical mushroom soup you can get outside, but i liked it. Tried the clam broth as something new on the 2nd visit and i liked it too! It was a bit spicy and I think with olive oil too.

Main course: Pan-fried Dory Fish with Garlic Mashed Potato and Pineapple Salsa (2nd visit)

How is it? Not bad. I liked the salsa more, though.

Dessert: mango cheesecake (1st visit)

How is it? The portion was a disappointment. Very small... I secretly hoped that they would serve chocolate lava cake as the dessert as seen in the deal website... I would not mind even if it will be a mini one


Highest rating for taste, kudos to the angel hair pasta only

It is my first time here after seeing the deal Bigdeal.com. 4 course meal for $16, and I found it quite worth the try. The menu for the special deal is different from the usual menu, and it looks good, though the choices are quite limited.

Appetizer - Chilled Angel Hair Pasta & Lump Fish Caviar tossed with Seaweed, Chives and White Truffle Essence
Looks absolutely delicious and special. The fish caviar was fresh and burst in your mouth, releasing the sweet juice. The white truffle essence was special and extraordinary.

Next up - Homemade Mushroom Soup topped with Truffle Essence
This soup is not creamy, but has a strong taste of mushroom. It has lots of fresh mushroom bits. It is served in a cup, something different from the usual bowl. I'd prefer it slightly creamier.

Main Course - Poule Au Pot (French Styled Chicken Stew) with Garlic Mashed Potato
and
Grilled Ribeye Steak (220gm) with garlic mashed potato
Both are disappointing, considering the high standards of the appetizers. The chicken was tender, but was not well marinated and did not bring out the flavor of the sauce. It taste simply like a household stew.
The ribeye steak was comparatively better, though normal in taste. We ordered medium wellness, and the meat was not tender enough.

Dessert - Dessert of the Day - New York Cheesecake
It is tiny, but palatable. The cheese was creamy, not too sweet, and will not get nauseous from too much of it. The biscuit of the base is very fine, and cannot really taste it.

Overall - A nice experience, but over-rated. Without such discounts or deals, I probably will not come back.
