Martina and I would like to thank the Flutes team for helping us celebrate a magic wedding on the 10/Sep/2020. Everything went well and smooth, even better than planned or imagined. The staff was kind, attuned to details and seemed to be enjoying the evening with us. Every request was attended with courtesy, speed and a smile. The food, of course, was also a highlight, together with the decoration, ambiance and some specially tailored drinks. In special, I want to praise Joanne for setting the evening for success. All the way from the start of our planning, she always communicated with us very quickly and clearly. Joanne showed positive attitude and flexibility to accommodate our requests, some of them were last minute changes (like a belated RSVP just 3 hours before the dinner) and other unusual ideas (like the special Brazilian and Czech drinks). This is an evening that we and our 38 guests will always remember.

5-star dinner experience. First time to FLUTES to celebrate 20th anniversary with my wife. The lady sommelier Cheryl, who served our table was extremely thoughtful and offered my wife a shawl when she noticed my wife was feeling chilly. Rare to find such attentive yet not intrusive service in Singapore. We decided to go for the 7-course dinner menu with wine pairing. Excellent execution of the food with equally amazing wines. By the end of the meal, we were full but wanted to add a cheese course. Cheryl was kind to switch one of our desserts to cheese so we could have the best of both worlds. Kudos to them for allowing us to have a memorable anniversary dinner.

Wonderful experience beyond my expectation. Walk in during lunch time without reservation, it was really a surprise to found out plenty of available seats. The wagyu was perfect, very tender and zero burden of chewing, decorated with pickles balanced the meat quite well. The soup of day was not that satisfying compared to main course. Crab may not be a good choice for soup, as it seems create bitter taste. Butter pudding with grapes is worth to try, ice cream was very delicious, and the wine within it refresh all kinds of sweet. The service is fine generally. Space to improve is the staff can try to slow down their rhythm and pay more attention to details, suits the quiet and comforting environment better.

📸 We found capturing moments at a recent wedding held at Flutes to be an absolute delight! 😍 The venue exuded a delightful elegance and regal ambiance, nestled right inside the iconic National Museum. 🏛️ The timeless black and white aesthetics added an extra touch of charm and sophistication, making the entire wedding affair truly memorable. 💕 If you're a couple looking for an absolutely stunning venue for your special day, we highly recommend Flutes! 🌸✨

I came here with my friends last week and we had their set lunch and i would say it was totally worth it! Amazing food and excellent service. thumbs up.

It was my family's first degustation experience. Being vegetarians it's really hard to find restaurant who acknowledge that vegetarian humans exist. The chef did an incredible job at preparing a delicious menu for my family to celebrate my sister's birthday.

Professional and friendly staffs. Very alert and spontaneous. Love this place. Very nice dining experience.

The satisfaction with the service of this restaurant started during my planning 2 months before the actual visit. The staff remembered and noted every allergy and preference detail, and provided all the assistance needed for the reservation. On the day of visit, I'm pleasantly surprised with the amuse bouche, the texture of the different items on the plate, the taste, the flavours that blend so well together. The entire dinner was divine. I never had to ask for water top-up once, the service crew was so observant that before I finished my glass of water, he was there to top it up. Excellent! Will definitely recommend!

Restaurant Story popup @ Flutes. 4 course with wine pairing. I enjoyed the meal and slightly puzzled with the thinking behind oyster swimming in chicken fat. Plating was good. Service was a little too rushed. Wine pairing was superb.

Came for the Restaurant Story pop-up, and I thought the food was stellar. The concept revolves around telling a story about the chef, Tom Seller's life. It's pretty cool unpacking someone's life story while eating beautifully plated food and Sellers was successful in giving us an inkling of his life through this multi-sensory dining experience. For snacks or amuse-bouche, we have the Rabbit Sandwich, which reminds the chef of his time hunting rabbits with his father. The way this star item was prepared is an reinterpretation of the way Seller's father would prepare it: pressed rabbit leg in a polenta skin, fried with citrus-pickled carrots and a tarragon emulsion. Visually, this dish was fun and playful, and I loved that it was served atop a tactile snippet of fresh moss. In the mouth, it was surprisingly light and for someone who never had rabbit, it didn't feel gamey. The Tuna Tart was a jam-packed of flavours in your mouth. Bluefin belly and loin tartare, seasoned with tomato ponzu and housed in this house-made pastry of dried tomato and nori seaweed leather. It was full of umami and utter perfection. This was followed up by Seller's Asian-inspired take on Oysters Rockefeller, one of his favourite dishes.I personally thought the oysters barbequed in chicken fat and XO sauce brightened with finger limes was divine. I loved that they served bread cooked in beef fat. It's quite uncommon, but apparently, this was how the chef's mother would bake bread when he was a child. The next dish is a reminiscence of the chef's time at Noma: thinly sliced scallops pickled in homemade elderflower vinegar, with caviar, cucumber spheres, sweet apple gel and horseradish cream split with dill oil. This was so refreshing and I loved the texture via the crunch from the cucumber and the caviar. The A5 wagyu loin, marinated an hour with shio koji was also excellent and super playful. It had crispy kombu, half a sake-poached plum, shavings of ox tongue pastrami, and blobs of tart sauce Japonaise made from a recipe picked up from the chef's time at three-Michelin star Per Se. Strawberry, the main desserts was visually very pretty and it features the chef's childhood favourite parma violet ice cream, paired with strawberry sorbet, on top of slices of strawberries, strawberry consommé and white chocolate fellutine. Personally, I prefer dark chocolate, but this dish felt very light and summer-ish, which suits the weather here. Moving on to treats, I like the deconstructed carrot cake. The pastry is supposedly made from carrot and contains spiced carrot cake sponge, carrot gel, cream cheese, grated walnut, and dehydrated carrot. The chocolate filled with citrusy yuzu caramel, and decorated with abstract splatters was inspired by the paintings at Flutes. I loved that they included a playlist of songs recommended by various Michelin-star chefs at the back of the menu, which you could take home! I love the idea of mixed tapes, so knowing Chef Phil Howard listens to Kids by MGMT (one of my faves) is pretty fascinating! Good music and food obviously go hand in hand and it's interesting to know what some of these chefs listen to. I didn't hear Primal Scream (Gordon Ramsay's choice) in the playlist, but I did spot Lianne La Havas's Age playing in the background. It's not on the list, so I'm not too sure if the playlist which Sellers curated for this dining experience was played at all. Overall, I would say this was a very cool and fun experience. Tom Seller's innovation does shine through, and it would take a discerning diner to fully appreciate his work. And I also loved the table setting. I noticed the flower arrangements also used moss and flowers that ties back to the dishes, and clearly, there was a lot of thought that went into how the food was presented. I would also say the front of the house team did an amazing job explaining the food to us, and how we should eat certain dishes. Definitely appreciated.

I had a great lunch here! I did the 2-course selection and ordered steak frites and a chocolate dessert. The steak and fries were really great! The caramelized onions and sauce were a good combination and the fries were perfectly done. The salad was too acidic though. The reason for the 4/5 stars is the dessert was only okay. I thought it was too chalky and wanted something softer and sweeter.

Awesome Wedding Lunch supported by Flutes team and Joanne for being patient and accommodating with us since Feb 2022. Besides me, my wife also fell in love with the decor and knew on the first visit this will be our wedding lunch venue. Actual day went smoothly and Guests were praising the food choices. Fantastic choice for intimate and limited number of Guests.

Fine dining restaurant in National Museum of Singapore . Brought partner & friend today and we enjoyed private dining . Great service and nice ambiance. Way comfortable and quiet environment for business gathering . It’s wonderful experience beyond our expectation. Highly recommend !

Fantastic ambience, not crowded on Thursday lunch, very bright and spacious area. Sgd55++ for 3 course meal, complimentary water and bread served, beef carpaccio was great, mushroom soup was meh. Wagyu rump was powdery and tasteless, farro risotto was not bad but didn't quite satiate, taste was one dimensional. Chocolate popsicle and croissant cheesecake were passable, looked great but taste was average. 5 stars for ambience, 4 stars for service, 3 stars for taste of food. Paying for the surrounds rather than a tasty meal. Parking at national museum itself, gantry is always problematic. Don't think we'll be back anytime soon.

The executive set lunch here is value for money, with nice presentation of food. Go for the beef option if it is in the menu. Taste of food doesn't disappoint and the dining ambience is great, though it can be a tad dining in the main dining hall especially if seated next to a large group of dinners seated in a long table arrangement.

Decided to have a fancy birthday dinner and chanced upon this restaurant online. The service, ambience and food were spot on from start til end. Price point was fairly decent as well for the quality of food. Special shout out to our server, Bing that was very attentive but also gave us our privacy throughout the dinner. Would definitely return at some point to try their different menu.

Came here to celebrate my wife's birthday, with high expectations, given the awesome reviews. First impression was good - ambience was bright and spacious, with high ceilings and classy decor. Service was attentive, but I felt it was a bit impersonal and lacked a certain warmth. Nevertheless, we got everything we needed, and staff did all the necessary for a fine dining restaurant such as pulling our seats back and forward as we sat down. So far, so good. We ordered 2 executive set lunches, and I opted to top up $18 for the Wagyu rump. We selected the carpaccio and truffle mushroom soup for starters. The carpaccio was very thinly sliced and not bad, but the mushroom soup lacked oomph, and I couldn't taste much truffle. I've had heartier mushroom soups at buffet lines, so not a good start food wise. For the mains, we had the farro risotto, and I got the Wagyu rump...which was quite a mistake because despite paying an extra $18, I got a slab of beef that was perhaps 150 to 180g tops, which I couldn't tell was Wagyu, as it lacked any discernible marbling, and was even a tad powdery. My wife enjoyed her risotto much more, but I wasn't a fan either. By then I was quite disappointed with the food, and the dessert didn't do much to redeem the meal. The entire meal came up to be about $150, and for that price, I could go to many places for a better meal - perhaps not as good as ambience nor service, but to me, food quality is the most important metric.

Super attentive staff and excellent service when u call to book you can have a piece of mind that they will rmb yr booking whether its for bday or anniversaries. Meticulous staff who clears yr table and sweep away remnants ingeniuously. 1 star down cos of the limited variety of food. Esp if you do not eat beef or if you are a vegetarian. The drinks/spirit list is super long!!! Can try! Perhaps night ambience is nicer.

I booked two tables for a special lunch at Flutes earlier this month (July 2020). The co-ordinator for this lunch was very professional in helping me co-ordinate the lunch preparations. She was patient and attentive to my requests on table arrangements and menu adjustments . The food at lunch was good, the ambience was elegant, and the wait staff in attendance were polite. Altogether a great experience for me! Thank you to the team at Flutes at the National Museum, Singapore!

Visited for Sunday brunch and it was a most delightful experience. From excellent service to quality produce superbly prepared and exquisitely plated. You won’t find the most extensive menu for Sunday brunch here but there are definitely enough options for everyone. Ambience pretty perfect situated within the iconic National Museum of Singapore. Must try!

Place is perfect for special occasion. Stunning Atmosphere and service is on point. Food's amazing and each course is always a surprise.

Enjoy as high class tea break for 2 hour

Amazing food and fantastic service. Ambience was also soothing and pleasant. Two thumbs up. We went for the five-course dinner ($88) on a Saturday night. The meal started with something labelled as "snacks". Whatever that meant... it turned out to be canape served beautifully - fish croquette, kangaroo meat on a beetroot rice cracker and caramelised onions in a pastry shell. Fish croquette was served very hot, which is always a good sign to me. As I am averse to eating kanagroo meat (it evoked images of cute hoppy creatures being slaughtered), I gave this a pass. I really enjoyed the caramelised onions in the tart. It looked simple, and yet tasted great. We were then served warm bread with this amazing salted butter. There is just something about that butter. By the way, you can always ask for a refill of bread and butter throughout the entire meal. The starter was "Carpaccio of Wagyu Beef". This was served with avruga caviar, quail eggs and an assortment of radish. Eaten individually, there was nothing special. Eaten together, there was an explosion of flavours and textures. This was my favourite dish of the meal. Next up was "Western King Prawn Tortellini" served on a tiny pond of lobster bisque. This was somewhat disappointing. The tortellini was served lukewarm and was more on the harder side. There was also very little lobster bisque. Then came "Fillet of Cone Bay Barramundi" with yellow oyster mushrooms and roasted duck consomme. The skin of the Barramundi was crispy. Throughout this course, there was also that pleasant hint of roast duck. The main was "Wanderer Beef Striploin" served medium. The steak was nicely seared and oh so juicy! The black garlic sauce added a very nice touch. Desert was labelled Lemon "Meringue". The quotation marks on the menu got me wondering - is it or is it not a meringue? What arrived was a soft meringue (or at least I thought it was a meringue). The pairing with soursop sorbet, passionfruit, raspberry and orange was wonderful. Sweet and sour. Very nicely balanced!

I've given this place 5 stars for awesome food and lovely ambience. Perfect for a date! Although its fine dining, the environment isn't stuffy or stifling. Service staff are warm and accommodating. 5 courses was just right for us without the food coma after. A bit of a fusion concept- like scallops with bak kwa topping and cod in laksa paste. Flavourful! At S$88 per set, its not as pricey as comparable restaurants. Also, reservation process was easy without having to make a deposit

Nice ambience, attentive service and good food, my friend and I enjoyed so much.

We had the 5-course degustation menu. Food and service were excellent. Lovely ambience. We will be back!

Great experience. It's nice eating at a place where all remembers what you like to eat. Great service from all

The food quality was beyond our expectations and the service was amazing as well. We had a really enjoyable experience dining here and we will definitely be back here again!

Went there to celebrate my partner’s birthday. Excellent food, service and ambiance. Fine dining at an affordable price. The set meal comes with beef & duck which my partner don’t take, Ruth was so patient & accommodative in taking my request to replace them with other chief recommended replacements. Everything turned out to be better than I expected. Will definitely recommend this place to friends & family. 👍💪

Went for our anniversary brunch here. And they didn't disappoint. The service from all the staff was excellent and they went beyond. The food served was impeccable and my hat is off to the Chef. Thanks again to all at Flutes for a memorable experience

Ambience was good, restaurant beautifully located within the museum. Had a 5 course degustation menu for dinner. Waiter was friendly. However, my son found a fish bone in his fillet. We did not dare to let him continue eating the fish and informed the waiter. He smiled but did not do anything about it. We further brought it up to another waitress, still nothing was done. Expected more from Flutes. I had found a bone in my fish and chips in my neighbourhood grill place, and the chef promptly replaced it with apologies, which I gladly accepted .... disappointing. Will not recommend.

The first time my husband and I visited flutes, we fell in love with it immediately. We always wanted to do an outdoor solemnisation but everyone knows how erratic sg weather can be. We didn’t want our guests to suffer under the hot scorching sun nor be drenched in a sudden downpour. The outdoor-indoor solemnisation terrace area at Flutes was perfect! We love how the space of their private dining room, it was perfect for our intimate ROM crowd. My venue coordinator, Joanne was also super helpful and prompt in her WhatsApp replies! On the day itself, the service and help rendered by the flutes team went above and beyond. We had multiple requests that Flutes managed to help us without any issues at all. Feedback from the guests on the food were all positive as well and all of us enjoyed our time there. We had absolutely nothing to worry about as bride and groom!

We had an excellent time having dinner here. The food is delicious and service is attentive and quick. The wine and sake selection are all great, and we enjoyed the white, red wine and sake. Dining environment is comfortable and overall great dining experience.

This is an old review of Flutes that we came a long time ago but thoroughly enjoyed it. We had the tastes of flutes menu featuring gulf prawns and islands dhufish and wagyu rump. The service was very impressive and so was the food. Will come again!

We had a wonderful dinner at Flutes 😀 the restaurant is small, but the space between tables are comfortable and the decor is simple but nice. The service from all the staff were fantastic, showering us with details of the the food and drinks they served and paying attention to what we need. The food was marvellous..visually captivating and delicious. Must try!

Wonderful experience with wonderful food. Went there for Valentines day Lunch menu. The truffled chicken essence is really something. The lychee sorbet really did it’s trick and I felt like I could finish the last few courses.

Beautiful restaurant with good food. Their bread and garlic butter was really tasty. The progression of taste was impressive and plating was pretty. I especially liked the snacks and starters. The fried foie gras was super tasty too. Highly recommend it for a special dinner with a special someone.

What a delightful setting for a relaxing executive lunch with my dear wife today. Accordingly, each dish was artistically presented. When it comes to the service, the staffs were very courteous and Cherry was especially cheerful and informative. Even when I mentioned that the pork collar appears to be overcooked, she and another staff were quick to replace it with an alternative dish that was so much better. Came the dessert time, Cherry surprised us with an extra dish of dessert "on the house" (I guess to make up for the "miss"). Overall, we were much pampered by the staffs and very contented with the colourful and flavourful meal.

Aside from the well-worth it executive lunch, Flutes gets a 5-star for its service and friendly staff, creating a very welcoming environment for the family after a morning of dragging the boys through various museum exhibits. We ended up with 4 set meals that everyone enjoyed (including our two fussy eaters), and left ready to take on the second half of the day with renewed energy. I’ll be keeping Flutes on my list of places to bring more discerning guests to in the future.

Attended best friend's wedding here, which is really cosy. Food was delicious 😋 Service from the crew was awesome too! All instructions for the wedding arrangement were followed to the "P" for perfect! Only thing negative was entrance is within Museum where there's too much Museum visitors poking nose to KPO 😆

20th April 2023. Was there with my colleagues for some celebration meal. It has nice ambience. Some items were pretty tasty but the beef was a little disappointment. I like the truffle fries, the potato and leek soup and skull island prawn congee. The staff were attentive, service was good.

Absolutely lovely place. Attentive service and excellent food when I was there for dinner. Also tried the Grab food and self pick-up service, very good value for money. The food quality is great even for takeaways. I'm going back to try their 1 for 1 set dinner promotion. Oh to add, Flutes has a "SG Clean" certification and the tables are very well spaced out!!

Came here for our anniversary dinner and had an amazing night! Ordered foie gras as starter, lamb and suckling pig as mains. The lamb meat was really tender and of good quality, but it’s a bit bland and maybe bit too raw for everyone’s liking. Suckling pig was nice especially with the crab salad on the side. also love the vibe here. The manager Rome was so nice and made our dinner very enjoyable. Will be back again

Nice place!! The food it's really Amazing!! I love the lamb was really good! And also the staff is really friendly!! I will come back again for the food!!

Had dinner at Flutes during my company long service award. All the food is well prepare and nice. Especially the beef which is the main course. I never had such a nice beef before. It is really melt in your mouth..

Enjoyed a executive lunch. The quality of the dishes is ok. Maybe limited quantity in some of them considering extra price added in some of them. Overall good and relaxed placed to enjoy a fine lunch in a museum environment.

The museum focuses on exhibits related to the history of Singapore. It is one of four national museums in the country, the other three being the two Asian Civilisations Museums at Empress Place Building and Old Tao Nan School, and the Singapore Art Museum. It was named the National Museum of Singapore in 1965; between 1993 and March 2006, it was known as the Singapore History Museum. The National Museum of Singapore underwent a three-and-a-half-year restoration and reopened on 2 December 2006, with the official reopening by former President of Singapore S. R. Nathan and the Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts taking place on 7 December 2006.[1] The Singapore History Gallery opened on 8 December of the same year.

Michellin star Restaurant. The mushroom truffle soup was heavenly. Should give it a try if you have a chance!

My hubby and I had a lovely time tonight. We loved everything we ate especially the pea soup. The service was warm and attentive. The ambience was nice, quiet and romantic. Will be back for more.

Visited there for a friend’s solemnization. The service is not bad as there are two events at the same time. I had a beef main course which is beyond expectation. The beef is juicy and tender and the mashed potato with it is a great match.

Am I glad that I visited the Re-union Exhibition at the National Museum (after 45 years) last night. For otherwise I won't get to discover The Flute. It was Friday night yet the place was almost empty due to the two-day Singapore Night Festival. Not only we could get a good table but also the $54++ per person set dinner. The food is excellent and creatively fusion. The service is excellent. The ambiance is refined and colonial themed. A good place for romantic date nights and corporate deal sealing.

My Bros rom place

Excellent quality of food. The service is very commendable. Thank you so much.

Very nice food in a great setting

Food is great, wine is better, if only the aircon is not that strong(food get cold too fast) everything would be perfect.

Very tasty lunch for a function and very accommodating staff.

a fantastic restaurant in Singpore with good quality of food for a high price but ratio matches and the location is special of course. Nice place for wedding as well

Lovely food and ambience. Set menu was portioned perfectly and they prepared a birthday candle for my mother in law. Service was very good. Thank you to the Flutes team.

ordered in for lunch, food arrived on time and was still warm enough. Chocolate fondant with raspberry and chocolate ice cream is a must order as a pick me up during the stay home phase. Horrible plating but great stufd

A very good surprise from a very great restaurant. Food came in properly sealed packs that can be reheated. Quality was maintained. Very good portions for the prices charged. Delivery was done by the restaurant team. Excellent service and were spot on time. With the circuit breaker affecting dine in, this was probably the best amongst all the restaurant in this category. Will definitely support them. Well done! Ps... attention to details made my day too.

Situated in one of Singapore's iconic buildings. Lunchtime set menus very good. Wine selection terrific.

(Translated by Google) A restaurant attached to the National Museum. The National Museum is also a very beautiful building, and the restaurant here has a high ceiling and white interior. I had a lot of luggage with me, but the shop took care of me at the reception. British culture Sunday roast is popular for its deliciousness. Not suitable for vegetarians as there is no option to replace the meat with something else. The veggie people didn't have much else to eat, but the caprese was delicious. The dessert was gorgeous and delicious! It is a shop where you can enjoy a rich feeling. The staff is a calm customer service that seems to be a luxury store. I used the one in the museum for the restroom, so I walked a little away. (Original) ナショナルミュージアムに併設されているレストラン。ナショナルミュージアムもとてもきれいな建物だけあって、こちらのレストランも天井が高くて白を基調としたきれいな内装。 大きな荷物を持っていたのですがレセプションでお店の方が丁寧に預かってくれました。 イギリスの文化サンデーローストが美味しいと評判。 お肉を他の物に替えるオプションはないので、ベジタリアンの人には向いてません。 ベジの人はあまり他に食べるものがないけれどカプレーゼは美味しかった。 デザートも豪華で美味しかったです！ リッチな気分が味わえるお店です。 スタッフの方は高級店らしい落ち着いた接客。 化粧室はミュージアム内のものを利用するので少し離れていて歩きました。

Hidden gems in National Museum!

Service can be better. Nice food.

The Terrace is a nice place for a break & light meal during a visit to the National Museum.

I brought the wifey here for Valentine’s Day dinner. We took the second seating for the Valentine’s Day set menu. At $245++ for both of us for 5 courses, this was a decent deal. However, there was no amuse bouche nor petits fours. Not even an after dinner query, “Would you like any tea or coffee?” Service was OK; we were seated in a side room and the poor waiter was obviously overworked. We were seated at a table that wobbled like mad and we had to call the waiter to fix the balance. The food was quite good and overall, I would come back for the food. But don’t expect a high end fine dining experience - it’s definitely not Michelin grade. The wait staff serve you your dishes without explaining what it is, and they have no qualms about serving you by extending their arm directly across your front, which is rather awkward. Not pictured in the photos: like caught trouts

Nice foods and service! We were really enjoy the dinner here.

I attended a wedding lunch at Flutes. The service of the staff are not very good because we need to remind the staff to give plates, which a plate was missing on my table. The food was not bad. The decorations were quite elegant and ambience was quite nice.

Pleasant environment and very good food served here.

My favorite lunch place

Love this ?

The ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful. It was very cosy and comfortable. As I got further inside, I felt a certain bohemian appeal just beside the main counter. Delightful. Usually, I sit by the window, however, I decided to occupy the table across the open space by the counter.

Inside Singapore National Museum, food very good and price is very reasonable for lunch. Better make a booking in advance. Sucking Pig Leg must try! Went in Nov2019 again for dinner, unfortunately menu changed, they don't do the suckling pig anymore but the pork belly is also very nice too!

Excellent food and service. Great ambience.

The Executive Lunch is well thought of and delicious. I had the lamb for my main; and was was absolutely delicious. The meat was cooked medium and the skin was crispy. I will definitely go back for more

Its our 2nd time here.. came once last year and this year was for my husband birthday. We ordered two dessert but they gave us a dessert of 3 with happy birthday wishes on it! Pleasent surprise for my husband. Food and service wise they had always been excellent!

The food is good here

Inside museum good option for having food

Ok where to start. This place is just inside the front door to the National Museum of Singapore. Setting is great nicely laid out dinning room has a good ambience if you will. They had two menus, a la Carte and a 5 course tasting menu with matching wines, we went all in for the tasting many and wine. Simply put we were not disappointed food was good, wine good, service good, value for money good and environment good. Worth a visit.

Great tasting, well presented food. Good service. Lacks vegetarian options though - and they accidentally put anchovies in a vegetarian dish.

Fresh, high quality food

Attended a wedding dinner there and pre ordered the Wagyu steak which was nicely done medium rare

Totally worth the penny. Environment is classy, looks more like fine dining, but price is affordable. I had fish & chips thinking the cod fish maybe those frozen one that you get in an ordinary restaurant, but it came with fresh fish. Would be a 10/10 if the fries are slightly thicker. Nevertheless, excellent quality!

Great food, great ambience, great service! Always a great place to dine!

(Translated by Google) All the dishes were delicious, but I think the price is high considering the service. The atmosphere is good except that the shop doesn't look very much at the table and ants climb a lot on the table on the terrace. (Original) お料理はどれも美味しかったですが、サービスを考えるとお値段が高い気がします。お店の方があまりテーブルを見ていないのと、テラス席のテーブルに蟻が大量に登ってくるのを除けば、雰囲気は良いです。

Have to be 5 stars as the service, ambience and the food is really good. They even provide my wife an Earl Grey tea as my wife can't really drink much wine for the 5 courses & wine vintage for that day dinner menu. Definitely will visit again next time.

Located in the national museum, Flutes offers a stunning dining experience and impeccable service. The staff was attentive and helpful. It's a good choice to bring guests or celebrate special occasions.

Beautiful place for a wedding with great food! Smoked salmon, chicken breast, and carrot cake dishes for lunch reception. Everything was great and dessert especially was delicious!

Beautiful weekday set lunch. We ordered 2 course set lunch. It’s good especially the beetroot starter, so refreshing and nicely done! But the lamb shoulder wrapper is not so nice, too salty. The fish is good. I booked this place for birthday lunch with my friend and put ‘birthday celebration’ on the remarks of my online reservation . However, the restaurant did not take note of this . When I saw them serving the next table with the birthday dessert, I requested for mine. And the waiter wanted proof of my reservation remarks, that was really not nice. They would have scored 5 stars from me if not for the sub standard service. Food is generally good and it is a pretty place to dine in. Plating is good. Ambience is good too. But hospitality is really lacking .

We went to this restaurant back after many years as we heard good things about it from our friends and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there. Starting off with ambience, the restaurants sits on a historic building and the restaurant itself bodes well with the building's surrounding and had great interior, warm and nicely decorated. Service was overall ok and had no complaints whatsoever and the service staff were well trained, attentive and provided good service throughout our sitting. We choose the 5 course meal and loved every single course. The ingredients they use are all premium like crab, lobster, truffle, etc and they were all paired nicely with veges, other elements that didn't overpower the main ingredient and let the main ingredient shine. Overall the cooking style is very much Australian and decorated beautifully which makes each course visually stunning and delicate on the pallet. Loved every single course and found it was a great value at $98++. The wine list is extensive with great selection of wine from both old world and new world and felt most of the mid range wines are moderately priced.

The food is great, service is pretty attentive too! Value for money!

We held our intimate wedding at Flutes and have nothing but high praise for the staff and the quality of the food served. Our wedding coordinator Joanne was very helpful and quick in her responses and we loved the flexibility Flutes had when we were sorting out the finer details for the day. The service throughout the dinner was excellent and our guests all had a wonderful time! Thank you, Flutes for the amazing wedding experience!

The food and service never disappoint. Highly recommended for weddings!

A lovely restaurant

We came for the degustation dinner menu. The atmosphere of the restaurant is calming and beautiful, tucked inside the grand and elegant national museum. The food was amazing. The fillet cod and striploin steak for the mains were cooked to perfection. The scallop with roasted iberico pork belly and roasted apple as starters really opened up our taste buds. Thanks!

Had 7 course menu with wine pairing. Overall we had an awesome dinner at this place and the servers are amazingly attentive and friendly to us. Almost every dish served gave us "wow" feeling when we tasted it. Definitely something out of ordinary. My favourite will be the foie gras. It has this crunchy taste on the outside and jelly burst texture when you bite it. However, we found that one dish that taste just ok which is the dessert, creme caramel. It is a bit tasteless for our tongue. The wine pairing is something that I really recommend. Every single wine was smooth and match perfectly with every dishes. Service was very good. In the beginning we were seated near the entrance. Then the museum was started doing some work and making a lot of loud construction noises. It was a bit hard for us to hear each other when talking. The server then noticed and closed the door for us. However, a lot of people going in and out to the restroom. Furthermore, we started to smell strong paint fumes from our table. One of the servers then moved us to a different table far from the door. Definitely saved our dinner experience.

Exec lunch deal was very good - and the restaurant was good for an end of year lunch!

Try the coffee!

Relaxed setting with good and decently priced food.

My honest feedback. First time we had a wedding lunch at Flutes. The portion of food was very small and not much taste. The service was slow. We left still feeling hungry. I bet others feel the same too. We will never go back and will not recommend to others.

Excellent food and ambience

This place is clean and good food.

great place with excellent service

Held our ROM here a few months ago. Our coordinator Joanne was a pleasure to work with, very helpful and understanding. The on-ground staff, led by Wan, were polite and attentive. The venue was beautiful, we received lots of positive comments (including our guests who tuned in online). Food was great too. Thanks for making our special day so memorable!

Lovely place for value and quality set lunch. You can taste the freshness and sweetness of the ingredients used. Will definitely come back again.

Very nice place. Very nice staff. Food is great. Price is very reasonable. Location is convenient and can visit museum. Highly recommend.

Almost all the food in the restaurant was delicious. Great food, spotless restaurant and friendly staff.

We had dinner today just because we were staying nearby for the weekend. This was such a good find. The first course is a beef carpaccio, but because I do not eat raw beef, they very kindly switched that out with a lovely heirloom tomato salad. The snacks served before the first course, and palate cleanser served in between courses were interesting. The rest of the courses were delicious with just the right portions. Each dish has accompaniments which really helped its main character shine; you could taste the freshness of the ingredients which were cooked just right. Wine list was good and interesting which added to the nice evening. Service was attentive, proactive but not intrusive. The ambience was just right; it's a pity they could not play music due to covid restrictions. Imagine if they played flute music =) all in all value for money, and nice experience.

good food quality

Chef here has many experience experience and his cooking is really amazing. The environment is cozy and beautiful. Great place to dine for special occasions.

Had a really beautiful dinner experience here with my husband. The food was superb, all the dishes were wonderfully cooked and well presented plus the service was highly remarkable. Would love to compliment Reymond for his extreme promptness, his attention to detail, willingness to serve and his overall cheerfulness that just puts a smile to your face and make the whole dining experience tenfolds better. Reymond is a huge asset to the company and we feel so blessed to be on the receiving end of such wonderful service.

Ordered delivery and it travelled really well, especially the mushroom soup!

We ordered delivery for Sunday night and it was amazing!! The food was fantastic and the portion sizes were decent. Loved the notes on how to plate everything, especially the dessert. Can’t wait to dine in the restaurant soon!

simply awesome! booked for dinner for 3 for my two fav boys adv bday dinner. ruth who took my reservation was an absolute star! there was no ala carte menu but instead a degustation menu we went for the 5-course with an additional dish for tasting/sharing which was accommodated. wine was decanted, bread was warm and free flow, service was very attentive and charming, food was brilliant especially the toothfish and wagyu beef!! they catered for my diary intolerance and made a special dessert which was lovely! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Firstly it's not vegetarian friendly. Even though it has a separate vegetarian tasting menu it's only 5 courses and the meat/fish one is 7!! So my friend had 2 more courses than me which is just bizarre. I asked them if they could add two courses and despite their only being 4 tables full the chef said no!! What kind of service is that? They eventually added the cheese course at extra expenses and I got extra wine for another course! Very strange. Secondly the food I got wasn't actually that nice and left me hungry. It was ok but nothing special. My friend's fish/crab/chicken dishes he said was lovely. So this is clearly a place for fish/meat eaters not vegetarians. The other strange thing was that we had win matching but all the wines were white, why no red?

Good food fantastic ambience

This is an overdue post but really wanted to share my experience at Flutes for my cosy solemnisation reception. Just had my ROM one month ago, and to my husband and I, Flutes was the perfect place to hold it. Joanne was such a lovely, patient and accommodating manager who was extremely responsive to all my enquiries right from the start! The planning journey was long and full of uncertainties due to the pandemic, but Joanne was always ready and willing to assist and provide useful advice from experience. Not to mention, the food was excellent - I received so many praises from my guests regarding the curated menu (which the Chef so kindly catered to my guests who were pregnant/had food allergies). Definitely will be back for my anniversary dinners with hubby!

I had a great time here with Kate’s great service. Definitely I will come back soon.

Nice atmosphere good for special occasions food is quite good 👍

Held my solemnization + wedding dinner there - had an amazing experience. Loved the ambience (of the terrace), the food quality & the service from the staff. Joanne, who is the coordinator of my wedding was excellent in her service as well - from the first days of the planning phase to the actual wedding day. Strongly recommend people who plan to have a smaller-scale wedding to consider holding their solemnization/ wedding here

Love the service here. Theyre very attentive! The place was quiet too, great for intimate lunch Went for the $45++ 3 course lunch, they dont have ala carte. Toppedup $12 for the truffle fries. The truffle fries was nice, very crispy and not soggy eventhough it’s been a while. The asparagus soup was nice, not too salty, not too sweet and the prawn were fresh and sweet eventho just few pieces. The barramundi abit oily. But overall was not too bad for the price and service. The dessert so so only haha

Came here for our anniversary meal. Food, wine and service are all excellent. All food item taste good and the lunch sets are good value for money. Wine selection by the glass is great. Enjoyed both the South African Chenin Blanc and Italian Chianti very much. Will come back again.

Been here for a birthday celebration and tried the degustation menu. The service was great both in terms of booking and in house.

Visited on our Anniversary ... really great food and an amazing ambience... worth it... tried the degustation menu with wine pairing... everything was up to perfection

I had a great experience with Flute last night and the restaurant manager Bing was very attentive and welcoming! I love all their dishes! Great for special occasions and highly recommended!!!

Good fine dining restaurant to spend the whole evening relaxing and slowly enjoy a full course dinner.
