Came here to celebrate one of my friend's birthdays, and it was all our first time being there, and we went there expecting great food, since we had read other reviews about how awesome it is. Firstly, we were shocked to realise that you had to climb like a gazillion flights of stairs till you reach Timbre, then I realised it was not an air-conditioned place. Oh well, we went ahead with our order, which was the roasted duck pizza($20), hawaiian & philly cheesesteak half-half pizza($21), Timbre platter($42++), and I ordered an Old School coolers drink($10), which I chose their passionfruit flavour. The roasted duck was supposedly highly raved by many people, but when I tried it, the duck was like inexistent, sauce was salty, and I think it was more of a cracker pizza. The other pizza we had was average too, but was still alright. I think their toppings are little. For the Timbre platter, it was a mix of 6 different snacks they offered, and the ones that are worth trying is actually the basil beef with bread, meatballs. The tomato with crab mayo on top was something new, but I wish the tomato was grilled. The drink I had was an utter disappointment, which was terribly sweet and syrupy, nothing special, at all. I suppose their alcoholic drinks are better, but my friends said that theirs wasn't anything to rave about either. Overall, I feel that the food and drinks are overpriced to the point of extortion. Will not go there again. The one good factor about the place is their live performance and they do song dedications too.
