Went to Forlino on a Saturday night for our anniversary dinner and it was a good choice. The ambience was lovely - dim and romantic. Service was impeccable and it was packed, good thing we made reservations.

We started off with an appetizer of beef to share. Nicely presented.For mains, we had two dishes - paella, and pork. Both were really tasty. Will I go there again? Maybe I just might. Reason being there are other places I would like to try out.

Well worth a visit if willing to splurge. Just remember to make reservations in advance.

This hole (albeit not a small one) in the wall is an interesting concept to the area. It is akin to a mini "Marché" and yet there is enough variety for it is very popular with nearby residents and expatriates alike.

We felt like Japanese for dinner and that was exactly what we went for.

Ordered a couple of beers, and we tried the Japanese set ($16 promo, usually $23), which consisted of a long strip of thinly sliced beef, and 5 slices of salmon sashimi. Good value for the price, and tasted great!

The beef was tender and the sauce it was served in set off the taste in balance.

The salmon sashimi was fresh, and they were not that thinly sliced. Salmon sashimi on its own is also good value at $3.90.

Another dish we tried was the garlic crab fried rice ($8). Loved it!

The place is laid-back and chilled, no AC but plenty of ceiling / wall fans provide sufficient ventilation and "wind". Prices are reasonable, and no service charge, and all customers order at the counter (pay first), then the food gets served to your table.

Cons: Can get really packed, and I am not sure if they take any reservations. Also, the carpark just in front of Pigsfly does not allow for any grace period.

Would I go back again? Most definitely! I am already thinking about my next visit.

We had dinner at this French restaurant located in Dempsey. It was fully packed and boy were we glad we had made reservations.

Appetizers were escargots, and French onion soup. Both tasty.For mains, we had steak. Nicely done in medium rare.Dessert was fantastic, I loved their Profiteroles!Service was great, and the ambience was dark and romantic.
It was our wedding anniversary, and the service staff took the trouble to prepare a slice of cake, with "happy anniversary" written on the plate in chocolate sauce. A very nice touch indeed!

Portions are fair.
Their executive set lunch is also worth a try.

We had the Spruce Burger ($18) and it was good.
Beef was succulent and tasted lovely with the homemade pickles, melted cheddar cheese, altogether plated with their chunky herbed fries.

Ambience was casual, while service was excellent.

Will I be back? Definitely! This place is well worth a try if you are craving some modern American cuisine, served in an equally modern rustic casual setting.

Make reservations if possible.

We tried the semi-buffet on weekdays (from Mon-Thurs, Fri-Sun is the full buffet).
The semi-buffet offers an appetiser and dessert buffet, which is included in the price of a main course.

The portions of the main courses were generous. We had two dishes - the steak, and the grilled prawns.

Steak was done just right in medium rare, and the prawns were nicely grilled (not overly charred).The semi-buffet did not boast much variety, but we were stuffed by the time we finished our mains, plus the appetiser and dessert buffet was complimentary to the order of a main that I really did not expect for much.

Service was good as I felt they were over-staffed.

Might give their weekend full buffet a try one day.
