Giraffe Restaurant

We have enjoyed the crispy and golden duck fat chips while waiting. I must say the meat of the sucking pig was so tender and delicate that when being serve, the host cut it with a plate instead of a knife. This is the closest to the lechon de leche that reminds me of home. Although, the dish would have been perfect if only the skin of the suckling pig was crunchy to the bite. The chips from the kids meal were great.

The atmosphere is quite nice, like an upmarket trendy pub. The waiter was very knowledgeable, explaining every ingredient of the dishes to us when they were served up to the table. Quite frankly the quality and skill for the main ingredients were not brilliant. There are places which did better fried chicken and bread. One expects a lot when this restaurant is a Simon Gault one. That being said, what was really awesome was all the different tastes, flavours, and ingredients of the dishes. The smoked kahwai butter with citris was absolutely amazing. The chocolate for dessert had 3 layers to it too.

Came here on a Monday evening to celebrate my partner's birthday.
Upon arriving, a waiter kindly offered to store my umbrella in their cupboard.

As the restaurant of Simon Gault, there is inevitably a sense of high expectations for their food. Many reviews indicated 'small portions' but we found their portions to be quite large actually.
We ordered the Giraffe Crudo, Wangyu Hanger Steak, Te Mana Lamb, and Whole Fish to share.

Had an awesome night. The staff were very accommodating and their service was first class. Loved our cocktails and our meals.

Food was alright, but seemed overpriced. Unfortunately I also felt that service could have been better i.e. perhaps better problem solving or at least a little show of empathy from one of the staff when we made a request. It was solved eventually, but I feel like response in the first instance could have been better. The service from our primary waiter was good.
