    Great service and delicious food. Was here for dinner and there were lots of options to choose from, across the appetisers mains and dessert menus. Really enjoyed the beef tartare as well as the foie gras, and desserts were amazing as well. Portions were just nice for a great three course meal paired with wine. Highly recommend.

    We went on a Sat night and the place was almost empty. Overall, the food was quite disappointing, especially the lemongrass chicken brochette ($16) which was flavourless. We didn't enjoy the pan-fried hokkaido scallops ($35) either, in particular the sauce it came with. The mains - pan fried snapper and glazed duck breast ($29 each) - fared better. For dessert, the coconut saffron porridge ($15) was an interesting concept but just didn't taste very good. The chocolate tart ($18) was probably the best of the lot. Service was average.

    Food is made with love and hard to describe the excellent blend of multi-faceted flavours. The looks of the dishes really matches its flavours.Each dish is a pleasant surprise. Great Ambience for a gathering with friends after the lock-down. Service and friendliness really made us thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience. As our table is near the kitchen window, we can see how the kitchen crew are working systematically and whole-heartedly to serve us each dish. Highly recommended. These are snippets of some food, dessert and drink they serve.

    Ok if you want to come this place, I would highly recommend the burpple beyond 1-1 5 course promo. Service was great, ambience was great. I think it's a whole package deal! The cocktails were amazing! Kudos to the bartender! They have a simple but delightful menu and I heard that it's rotated monthly or something. Would definitely come back even without the 1-1 deal. ❤️

    Great location, nice food, friendly staff. Place is smoker's Friendly which is a good or bad thing depending on your choice. The food is good but highly overpriced. I ordered the set 5 course dinner for $148++ per person. I had some promotional offer, so 2 of us only paid for 1 set. But if I imagine paying for 2 sets plus drinks, I would not recommend it to anyone. I also learnt that the lunch sets are only $50++,which was odd. They basically just want you to have lunch? Anyway, go for lunch. The ambience is date like and upclass. 4 stars for me

    It was my first time having a meal at The Spot. Due to some food intolerance, I am always careful when it comes to food intake. Thus, I really appreciate the helpful male service staff (wished I got your name) who set up our table with the cutlery for sharing in the midst of attending to the lunch crowd. This allowed me to try different dishes without overtaxing my tummy. Thank you, service team. The food spoke volumes of the pride the chefs have in their work. The plating, the taste - one dish after another, my buddies and I were totally amazed. Each dish greeted us with a new experience and brought such satisfaction and fulfilment to our palates. I wonder how the chefs managed to maintain such a high standard during peak hours. Salute the team of chefs - you are  amazing ! In a nutshell, it is a place where I wished that all my loved ones are around to share what I was having and experiencing.

    This is a good place for lunch. The 2 or 3 course set menu is value for money. I had the baby squid appetiser. This was delicious with a generous portion of squid and set in a very unique sauce. I really enjoyed this dish. Also had the snapper in a green curry sauce which was also very flavourful.

    A good spot for business luncheon. Their 2 course is reasonably priced and their dishes are executed well with a nod to molecular gastronomy. Service was attentive and decor was comfortable for a date night

    We tried the Burpple 1-for-1 6 course meal. The serving size was great across all the dishes. We particularly enjoyed the mains. Both the fish and wagyu were excellent. Beef tartare was great too. The rest was good, but don’t expect anything out of the ordinary.

    Nice joint in the One Marina vicinity. Serves well cooked delicious European fare. Crowded in the evening when the office crowd takes over drinking their stress away. Menu is limited but most of the food hits the spot.

  • 5/5 Jeremy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is great, flavors complement each other very well. Ambience is beautiful and works well with the food. Each dish tends to have a unique twist, or is paired with certain ingredients that you wouldn't normally experience. A well thought out menu for sure. Drinks are also great. Definitely worth a visit.

    Chanced upon this place while in this area on a Saturday afternoon. I first saw the 1885 bottle shop. Then I was told there is a restaurant just adjacent to the shop. I was pleasantly surprised that the concept is like the Perch at Jewel Changi Airport - a place that I frequent. Unlike the Perch, this has an outdoor seating area. I am sure I will be back again

    Had a great dinner experience with my bunch of friends to celebrate their birthday. Hola! The decision turns out to be the best choice of the night as we indulged in the wide spread of the palate. We tried a myriad of appetisers and in particular i love the scallops the most as it was moist and juicy. Next on, we had a few main dishes and the highlight for me will be the Iberico pork ribeye with mango salsa. The sauce complements well with the tenderness of the meat and the mango salsa is of a great tone to the dish as well. Last but not least, the warm valrhona chocolate tart is the highlight to end off the dinner with the banana emas cream that goes well with the chocolate tart. Kudos to the kitchen crew led by chef Chee Sen and VK. The hospitality of the service crew is terrific as they even extended their service to take great photos of us with the great food. Overall, a fantastic night out at spot

    Me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The service was good and the flavour of the food was 'spot' on! My fave would be the pork loin and the mille feuille (can still picture the taste n texture) They even gave us birthday cake surprise for my wife🎂

    The snapper in curry fish, cereliac soup and the cheese bread were the highlights. Kids loved the fried skate. We had the 4 course lunch. Apple Mille Feuille was a great dessert option. Ambience was also good.

  • 4/5 steven l. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a good lunch with excellent service. We started with the cheese bread balls, which were quite nice, if a tad heavy and dense. The lime kingfish was tasty and done cerviche style in Thai coconut curry, while the charred octopus was delicious. We both had mains of duck with rice. The duck was nicely grilled, and slightly pink in the middle, but the thick cuts made some of the pieces rather chewy. The rice was also a little gummy. Dessert was snickers eclair and salted plum panna cotta, both of which were good. Parking was free, which was helpful.

    Great value and selection for the set lunch menu! Food was great, strong, interesting flavors (some a tad too much for my taste). Service was impeccable and friendly! Definitely surpassed expectations. Octopus was little overcooked. Snapper, pork cheek and the chocolate tart were standouts! Thanks for the great meal (: will be back!

    Great place to chill out with friends and colleagues! Love the classic ambiance of the place, especially the bar lounge ! Indulged in the BBQ Pork cheek grilled in “Bak Kwa” Style and my all times favourite confit chicken leg !

    Indeed a spot with a very nice ambience. The servers were very friendly. Food was good, the salted plum panna cotta was an interesting fusion of local and western flavors. A nice quiet date night spot and marina one is a great place for a stroll post dinner.

  • 5/5 Eileen N. 2 years ago on Google
    Food and service is really great. The waitress, Lyncy has some great recommendations on the food and it suits our palette. We had the cheese bread which smelled heavenly and was really chewy, best enjoyed with the paprika sea salt butter. Our mains were the local glazed duck breast (I thought the meat was a bit tough and gamey when I ate it on its own. But when I ate it together with the flavourful butternut puree, the ingredients complemented each other), and the pan fried red snapper (a well balance between spicy and sour. Loved the punch of spiciness from the green curry emulsion which was best eaten with a spoon to scoop some of the emulsion to go with the fish. But be mindful that it can be a bit too salty). The sour cream brulee added a nice touch to end the meal on a sweet note.

    Very nice place to hang out after work for people working at the Marina area. The ambience is rather classy & service is not bad. The downside is the so called happy hour price is only a couple of bucks off the regular price. We were trying to use Entertainer voucher so we were not allowed to order drink under HH price. Then we decided to order drinks first while waiting for a friend. We were not allowed to settle the drinks using separate bill before ordering the food. In the end, we just walked out. This is rather inflexible. We went to another place for dinner at the end which turned out to be very good choice.

    Great food served from the 1855 group of dining concepts. This venue looks classy and resembles more like a cocktail bar with a large bar smack in the centre of the dining area. Attached to a 1855 retail shop, you can order your wines and drink them without corkage while you enjoy your food. Tried some appetisers and mains from their lunch menu. The must tries are the baby squid and beef tartare. The cheese bread they served was nice too. Try the green curry snapper and lobster capellini as well. Would give the pork loin a miss. All in, it’s a good place for a business lunch or short drinks after work.

  • 1/5 FluffyUnicornz 5 months ago on Google • 45 reviews
    The sides ordered were underwhelming. Sad to say was very looking forward to the potato, but it was not crispy. The beef skewer’s meat was lacking of flavour. 45 minutes before closing, all the tables were asked to either finish up or be given plastic cup. Not an enjoyable visit. Will not be visiting again.

  • 5/5 Mona Z. 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Highly recommended and you'll be especially surprised about the cocktails 🍸 The cocktails are easily the best on the island by a talented Bartender -Chris . Do not afraid to let him know your liquor preferences, cos he sure can make something that makes your palettes danse 💃🏻

  • 4/5 Kendrick W. 3 years ago on Google
    Almost a five star experience. Beef short rib was soft and flavorful. The associated barley porridge and mushroom have differential taste resulting in different layers of flavor, texture and taste. Wagyu beef was excellent, cook to right doneness. Pink but no blood. Servings are considered rather generous. One can buy a bottle (need to be $50 and more) from the adjacent wine shop to drink in the restaurant, no corkage fee.

  • 5/5 Jake L. 3 years ago on Google
    Very creative flavours and excellent service. The staff made efforts to explain the meal to us and the flavour compartments. The meal itself was really delicious. The red snapper's skin was crispy and the thai green curry emulsion was extremely interesting. The duck breast was succulent as well, but the thick cut made it slightly tough. The service was excellent. Used entertainer 1 for 1.

  • 4/5 Vivien T. 3 years ago on Google
    Burpple's menu was very worth it and they change the menu periodically. Cheese sticks were good, and on ladies night there's an option to add $28++ for free flow prosecco/white/red & 3 oysters which was a great deal! Great space and ambience. Our server wasn't the most sensitive but still a great experience overall.

  • 5/5 Julia B. 3 years ago on Google
    Went for Singapore Restaurant Week and was not disappointed! The food was well priced and exceptional. Photos do not do it justice. The service was a little slow but this was easily forgiven.

  • 5/5 Edward T. 3 years ago on Google
    Summary: great food & service. avoid the coffee (burnt flat white) Stumble into The Spot on weekend afternoon, and was surprise by what it has to offer. The waters are knowledgable, and recommendations were on point. The Warm Baby Squid starter is a must try. Slightly crunch, and everything else just come together perfectly. Panna Cotta was surprisingly GOOD. Will be back for more

  • 3/5 S W. 3 years ago on Google
    Went on a busy Friday evening and was seated promptly at the bar area. Unfortunately as we were out of sight, didn’t get to order until we actively asked for assistance. Food was slow to come despite many tables already leaving. After a Long wait, a waitress proactively came over to ask if we wanted to order desserts - to which my response was: we hadn’t even had our main course yet! Her shocked look made me frustrated. Our food came shortly after. Getting attention to pay was another problem we solved ourselves by heading straight to the till. Couple of good points: for now, free parking on weekends (no min spend) and the fact that they are on entertainer app. That’s it!

  • 5/5 Stephanie S. 3 years ago on Google
    Celebrated my birthday here. Even though we were using Burpple 1-1, fantastic service especially by the bespectacled gentleman in his 40s (?) we didnt manage to catch his name but he truly made dinner all the more amazing! Solid dishes, but thoroughly enjoyed the snapper in green curry most!

  • 5/5 Richard T. 3 years ago on Google
    I went there with 4 friends and family members for our Sunday lunch. We had a wonderful experience. The ambience is cozy and comfortable and set us in a very relax mood. The food is value for money and is Super delicious. The bonus of our dining experience that afternoon was the superb service given to us by the staff, Iza and Dwayne and not forgetting Kelvin who is very friendly. My wife is so impressed with this place that she has already made up her mind to celebrate her birthday here in Oct. We will be back!!!! And if there is a 6 Star, I will gladly give this place a 6 star rating.

    Had a great time to celebrated my friend's birthday here. Staff Dwayne done his job above level. He even prepared a small cake to surprised my friend! One of a kind passionated in town. Food quality is great and nice ambience. If you wanna skip the crowd, sat or sun are the best time to visit.

  • 5/5 Jiawen C. 3 years ago on Google
    Pasta was well cooked and flavors are well balanced. Lobster was extremely fresh and succulent. Beef was cooked on point, sauce is a little strong for me though. Chocolate tart was fabulous, vinegar ice cream is an interesting pairing. Ambience is nice, service is good. Furniture feels a bit pub style vs the classy food.

  • 4/5 Lily N. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Hogyun K. 3 years ago on Google
    I had lunch set with rosted duck(main) + baby squid(appetiser) at $33. The price was quite reasonable considering the quality of the dishes, atmosphere and service. Duck came with the yellow creamy sauce, which goes quite well. I really enjoyed the lunch.

  • 5/5 Stephanie H. 3 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed the burpple 4 course meal here for $78++ I liked the foie gras > beef tartare but all the dishes we tried were yummy. A small thing is that i found the apple compote a little overpowering with the foie gras

  • 4/5 Alvin L. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kenny Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Extremely pleased with the choice for the Sunday lunch gathering venue. We went for the set lunch which comes in different configuration. I went for the 3 course (starters/mains/desserts) at $38++. The focus was on quality over quantity but having said that this were not fine dining portion as you can tell there’s a generous serving of meat for the mains. Really enjoyed the taste and texture of the fish and the green curry sauce. The dessert was probably not my best choice and I should have opted for the chocolate tart (+$4). Definitely go for the chocolate tart unless you don’t like chocolate then you’re a tard. There’s also a comprehensive selection of wine (there’s literally a wine shop at the back) to accompany you for a chilled out Sunday noon. Would definitely visit again someday.

    Visited The Spot thanks to Restaurant Week 2020. Service was great. The set dinner dishes were rather special and unique. Although not every dish was to my liking, it was interesting to taste different type of food that I never thought would pair well. The restaurant was also located at a nice area at Marina. Will be back for special occasions! EDIT 2021: Visited The Spot again for March 2021 Restaurant Week and they nailed it again!!!! The food is always so good!!!!

  • 4/5 Ananda Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely space. The food was very delicious- we had one Restaurant Week menu and one regular lunch set menu. The Thai influence on flavours was distinct and well-executed: the appetizers were the standout. Service was friendly and prompt though there was a small hiccup and the waiter placed the wrong order for one of our sets and we had to pay an extra supplement.

    Visited The Spot last Saturday with my family. Ordered the pork cheeks, angus beef, red snapper and lobster pasta... The food and atmosphere was decent considering the great location that they're in. Giving this restaurant a full 5 star review for the very amazing hospitality and service from staff Dwayne, whom indeed went out of his way to provide a brilliant experience with my family. Thank you!

  • 3/5 Sea D. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is full on a Friday evening, but they are under staffed during peak hours. House pour of white wine is a meh, cheap but gave me a head spin after. The signature grilled octopus is okay in terms of taste but it is too chewy. The snapper was good and cooked crispy on the outside but nothing to rave about. All in a good meal, but not a place I would be rushing back to.

  • 5/5 Rowena N. 3 years ago on Google

    Hands down to the best service staff, Dwayne who served us today! My friend and I enjoyed the ambience, the food and of course, the excellent service. One of the must try dish - Crème brûlée. I am not so much of a dessert person but their Crème brûlée is really worth all the calories! Would come back here again!

    Nice ambience, great place to dine in and chill with friends. Great selection of food. Especially love the main course lobster capellini and appetizer Baby squid. Most importantly, Vincent and his colleagues service was superb and they are consistently making sure that we are in good hands. Most importantly, Vincent gave us good recommendations on the food since it’s our first visit here. Thank you for the great service provided. We will definitely be back again.

  • 4/5 Rennie L. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed the US cheese special here!! The food and service was all amazing!! Each dish was done nicely and all used different types of cheese, so interesting!! The portions were small but just nice because every meal included cheese inside, so too big a portion might be overwhelming. I’d give each dish 5* individually but overall, we became slightly full from the cheese by dessert time hence the 4* review! Recommend for cheese lovers though!

  • 5/5 Val T. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice and quiet place during weekend lunch time. Staff are attentive and even though it’s not a typical place for families with kids (seems more for working adults), baby chair and kids cutleries are offered promptly when we were seated. There’s kids menu too! Food is very good and nice presentation. Value for money when using entertainer app. Service is very good and prompt even though kids has multiple requests. Cheese bread and duck is good.

  • 5/5 Yuqing F. 2 years ago on Google
    The food has held up to its quality. The cheese menu was like in iron chef show where every dish, including the welcome cocktail, has a touch of cheese. The service was attentive.

    Amazing service and food is just so good. Love the lobster pasta I had . And if you’re dessert person like I am, they actually have beautiful delicious dessert.

  • 5/5 Lee Xin L. 2 years ago on Google
    My friend and I were initially very skeptical about The Spot as the name sounded like a canteen stall and we found out it is related to a chain : 1855 The Bottle Shop makes as wonder if it was a sound decision to dine there for lunch. Nonetheless, we decided to give it a try as the menu looks interesting and we like that they are open throughout the day where we could hang around longer beyond lunch hours. Thankfully, all those concerns were unfounded. The food here was generally delicious and the lunch menus offer good value. There was also a Kris+ menu which have selections from the dinner menu. Some of the items we thoroughly enjoyed at the Cheese Bread served with Unsalted Butter and Smoked Paprika Sea Salt, the Angus Beef Hanging Tender with Buah Keluak Dark Chocolate Mole and the Grilled Pork Jowl. The Cheese Bread is a warm crispy yet chewy bread with cheese in it and has a texture that reminded me of Japanese rice cakes. Angus Beef Hanging Tender is a very well-grilled beef steak type of dish : tender, juicy slices of beef, well seasoned and parts nicely with the savoury, bittersweet chocolate sauce. The Pork Jowl is one of my favourites for the meal : the meat was very tender and it has a nice delicate caramelized layer as a result of the grill. The other items such as the Kingfish ceviche is like a Thai-inspired fish ceviche with coconut flavours that isn't too rich while the beef tartare is an opposite of the Kingfish dish with bold flavours. For the desserts, the Apple Mille Feuille is a pretty safe apple-crumble/tart like dessert while the Salted Plum Panna Cotta is a nice panna cotta with a refreshing coat of strawberry granita. The restaurant offers takeaways and deliveries during this period, they even offer a prepare at home packs of the Cheese Bread or collaborations with other F&B establishments like Tonito to bring home such as Tacos and Quesadillas.

    Ice cream that tastes like bacon ??? Haha this is my new level of fine dining experience as I dug into the superb valrhona chocolate lava tart with banana and the alcoholic ice cream that tastes like eating bacon 😋. That was a good ending to my three course meal with an additional side dish of iberico rind with lobster bits. Needed to tone down my cavewomanly ways of feasting so decided to go 180deg this time - This meal has set me back on a 10-day diet of water and rice with soy sauce. 😂 But it was worth it . My three course meal : 1. Appetiser - beef tartare with sourdough bread ... appetising indeed as the raw beef cubes came with a special mustard sauce with bell peppers that added refreshing flavours .stomach is ready for the main. 2. Main - black grouper which was steamed at 60deg C so it wasn't overkilled or hardened 😂 nice seafood freshness retained with a hint of sweetness which can be eaten on its own. It was tested on a bed of barley I think and swimming in a greenish , slightly spicy gravy.aye aye captain , we have good a good catch today ! 😆😆 3. I was glad they did not allow me to change my order since the souchef has started prepping my meal so when the Valrhona choc tart came , I was like ' aya probably another 1 millionth and 1 similar tarts I have eaten'. Theory proven wrong this time. Wow factor 100%! 4. Iberico rind with lobster bits was good since I get to savour some lobster bits I was craving . Last but not least , thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable Dwayne "Johnson" ( he was saying that to help me get the right pronunciation hahaha! Funny arh he ) who made the fine dining experience successful !

    Great food overall, with friendly service and a welcoming ambience. I think the place shines a lot more in the evenings. Expect portion sizes to be small. There is not a single dessert on the menu (i.e. the webpage that pops up from scanning their menu QR code), which was a pity. (Upon reading the other reviews now, I noticed other reviewers have mentioned dessert options...which we strangely could not find at all...) The must-orders: foie gras, beef tartare, red snapper, lamb chops. The boring ones: iberico pork (bland), seaweed fried rice (meh).

    Really nice spot. You can also buy wine from 1855 next door. We had charcuterie platter and char siew pork. Both very nice. Given its location we found the food very good value especially as the rent must be astronomical! The service was attentive and we really enjoyed the evening.....not just a place to go after work.

    The service wasn't great. Our waiter actually scoffed at our dinner order, remarking "That's all? Arn't you having dinner?" when my friend and I ordered a pasta to share. I then had to give him an explanation that we are small eaters, to which he scoffed again. Why would a waiter want to make a paying customer feel judged about their order? They also forgot one of the sides we ordered & by the time we checked on the order, the item had sold out. Free flow wine was good, pasta was okay. All round nice to go for the ambience.

    My experience: Little choices for vegetarians. Note that there are options on the menu where you have to pay extra. Be aware of the water trick, when you want tap water ask for it. Otherwise they are happy to serve 7 dollar water bottles.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the impeccable service I've received from Faraq and the team at The Spot. His professionalism, attention to details and proactiveness was much appreciated. Excellent teamwork was displayed between the staff and it made my night a delightful one. Always enjoy watching a good teamwork. Thankyou for the marvelous job.

    We have been introduced to this restaurant through some social media a few months back. Planned to go there to try but was derailed by the COVID-19 heighten alert restriction. Finally went down with my wife to grab a bite on a Sunday afternoon. Being in the Central Business District, it is a wonderful place to avoid crowd, but it is bad for business. Besides us, there was a few other tables, all limited to 2 pax due to the restriction. We were served by a very knowledgeable young man, Justin. We ordered food from the special Truffle menu as well as the regular menu. All the food were well presented with wonderful experience for the tastebuds. - The Oysters were juicy and sweet, and the yuzu sauce made all the difference. - Red snapper in green curry was a great paring with very fresh fish and mildly and perfectly spiced up green curry. - The Licorice ice cream is unique, well presented, and gave you a lingering nice after taste. Very attentive service by Justin, Jonnah and all the other staff in the restaurant. Will be back with the family!

    This is the second time I visited The Spot, returning with a friend this time after a fantastic dinner experience with my husband about a year ago, and both visits were wonderful, both in terms of the food and the service. I was happy to see an almost entirely new menu of delicious items to try, with some favourites still available on the Bar Snacks menu. One of the things I enjoy about The Spot is being able to order from both the Bar Snacks and the main a la carte dining menu when seated in the restaurant, meaning there is a lot of choice and you can try lots of small plates as part of your meal. Though it was a struggle to choose between all of the tempting dishes, my friend and I finally managed to decide and were wowed with all of the food we tried. The cheese bread were warm, doughy balls of comfort, crispy outside and melty inside, and served with a delicious paprika butter, and the lobster and chorizo consisted of a generous mound of fresh and flavourful mayo-laced cold salad on a crispy pork skin, just delicious! The potato pave with truffle emulsion were a crispy delight, and an obvious labour of of love to stack and fry the dozens of layers of potato so perfectly; the perfect bite when dragged through the rich, creamy dip, but our favourite snack was the angus beef short rib bao, with pickled cucumber and chimichurri, a deliciously divine combination of textures and flavours. My friend enjoyed her main course of red snapper with curry emulsion, and my asian style beef short ribs were meltingly tender and beautifully cooked, complimented perfectly with the sweet sauce and creamy barley porridge. Desserts were small but packed a sweet punch, and my apple millefeuille with smoked calvados ice cream was the perfect end to a stunning meal. The service was also fantastic. The hostess who checked us in and seated us was friendly and welcoming, and the gentleman who served us was attentive and warm, with a great sense of humour and a lot of personality, able to make recommendations and engage in conversation with us, adding to our enjoyment of the evening. This is a 'spot' I will undoubtedly be returning to again. And they are offering takeaway at the moment too, so would be worth an order for sure!

    Had a very good mother's day meal earlier. Food was great, ambience was relaxing & service was excellent. We were attended to by Justin who was patient , helpful and his recommendations was spot on. Calm & collected young man. We broke a cup and there was no panic. He was very reassuring and cleaned up the mess immediately. Thank you Justin.

    Really nice fusion food. Every dish has a different flavour profile. Price on the higher side but what can we expect from a cbd location!

  • 5/5 Pearly A. 3 years ago on Google
    Celebrated my dad's birthday here on a weekday lunch. The place was packed but the food was good. The weekday lunch set menus are really worth it and the portions pretty big. The snapper was outstanding with fresh meat and crispy skin. I found it a little salty but my mum found it alright. The best part of lunch was our server, Dwayne. It was really busy but he was friendly and such a delight to talk to! This is our 2nd visit and I'll definitely be back again as The Spot always makes us feel so welcomed!

    Sylvester is such a great host. We come here specially for the cocktail. I like the ambiance and the service. Some of the staffs can even remember my name after just a mere two visits. The Spot has become my favourite hangout with friend for bar snack and cocktails.

  • 5/5 Valerie T. 3 years ago on Google
    It our first time at The Spot and we really enjoyed our food here! We had the hamachi, shortribs and cauliflower and everything was done to perfection. We especially loved how the shortribs were so tender and the barley went really well with it. Big thanks to our server, Lyncy for her help and friendliness too. Will be back again for sure :)

  • 5/5 wei K. 3 years ago on Google
    Found The Spot on restaurant week, highlights for me were the ribs and foie gras (don't judge me). The ribs though burnt (I cut away) was super tender and flavourful, I like the caramelized taste. Foie gras a big portion with nice "crust". Even though I am not an oyster fan (cooked or raw), the oyster was really fresh and sweet. The cheese bread was warm and chewy (tastes like mochi bread). The dessert was pretty but I didn't like the flavour combinations, also ice cream was not cold enough. Service is slow, they were full house Will be back!

  • 5/5 Amanda K. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the burrple set menu here, we thoroughly enjoyed it!! The appetizers were delicious, and I particularly enjoyed the beef-both raw and cooked! Wines were affordable as well Service was good! Would return again 👍

  • 5/5 Mai N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great ambiance and services. The restaurant has an attached wine shop that you can browse and pick a bottle before your meal. We went during restaurant week and had a fantastic 4 course dinner. All dishes were solid and nicely presented. Love the beef shortrib! Their happy hour red and white options were decent, too.

    Sending my gratitude to Tony and the team. The family and guests enjoy the luncheon and the foods are delicious. The restaurant staffs are very polite and definitely deserves praises for their excellent service. Lastly not forgetting Tony , for his patience and prompt response. we couldn’t have done the solemnization without him. To be honest , things wasn’t smooth with a lots of unforeseen circumstances but Tony has been there to give us his support and help therefore we are very grateful and thankful to have him. Thank you very much for making it happen.

    Dinner was great. Every dish was well executed. Surprised to find food of such high quality in a place that seems to mainly cater to the drinking crowd. For a while I thought I was in a fine dining restaurant. Service was fabulous as well. Will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Faith Tay Ern M. 1 year ago on Google
    The Spot is located just a short walk away from Downtown MRT, making it extremely accessible. Food was quite good. Bar snacks like the cheese bread and the potato pave were awesome starters that gets the appetite going. Really enjoyed the savory baby squid as well. As for the mains I had a steak which was nothing too impressive but satisfactory. Their crème brûlée is on point, with creamy and silky custard and a crunchy sugar top, recommended! The Spot has a very extensive menu of alcoholic drinks and mocktails where you are sure to find one which complements your taste.

    Good location near the Marina, on ground floor so no stairs. There's no views at all but awesome food. Nice quiet place. Good wine selection and friendly staff.

  • 4/5 Flo Y. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant reminds me of Nomad, an Australian restaurant that does such vibey barbeque food. They're part of the 1855 Food Group, that's also why they're right next to 1855 wine shop here at One Marina. It's a good place for lunch and dinners, especially if you're working around here. We saw quite a few tables with post-work team hangouts, both food and drinks. We had quite some dishes, but personally I only thoroughly liked the pan fried golden snapper. The duck breast was good but not great, and the char grilled octopus was good but not great. All else considered, it's one of those places that I wouldn't have too high an expectation coming.

  • 4/5 Paolo B. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was good but disappointed about the very limited vegetarian options for dinner. Nice atmosphere for a casual dinner but maybe better for a pre dinner drink. Overall ok but didn’t feel the value was there.

  • 2/5 Tywald 6 months ago on Google
    A nice place for drinks and cocktails are very well crafted. Food pricing is extremely high, portions will not last you 3-4hrs and the taste is mediocre. Order Kurobuta. The sauce and tenderness of meat feels like eating beef medium rare. 300gm for 52 sgd Golden snapper is skin is crispy and fish is fresh. Green curry emulsion has pinch of spice, something unique but not memorable. Go for their signature drinks not dinner unless u have spare cash.

  • 5/5 Darren K. 9 months ago on Google
    While pricey, this place has really great food! Duck breast and golden snapper in green curry was super. Beef was good as well, tender and flavourful. The bar bites like grilled squid and chicken wings were fantastic as well. For desserts I’d highly recommend the chocolate tart and also the ice cream that comes with the Mille feuille. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

    The Spot consistently delivers excellent food and service. After a positive experience, we returned, and it never fails to impress. Kudos to the restaurant manager, Norman, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. His attention to our food preferences when suggesting dishes was greatly appreciated. Managers like him are truly exceptional and worth keeping!
