The Sampan - Singapore

My first impression of the restaurant was fantastic. The ambiance is beautiful, and the service provided by Mr. Siva was exceptional. The food was delicious and full of flavor. They also have a great selection of wine. I highly recommend trying the espresso martini—just make sure to request a larger glass!

The atmosphere is fantastic, and the view of the river is beautiful. The food is both affordable and delicious. The happy hour deal is not to be missed. I highly recommend this place and will definitely visit again.

The food is surprisingly affordable given the fine dining presentation and flavors. Most of the dishes are both delicious and intriguing. We were seated outdoors, enjoying a lovely riverside view of Marina Bay Sands, and I highly recommend the alfresco area. I hope to see some new menu options when I return in the future. The cocktails are impressively good as well; the classics are crafted to perfection—not too sweet and very aromatic. Be sure to try the Old Fashioned and Negroni. Even the non-classic cocktails are excellent. I would definitely return just for the cocktails alone.

I really appreciate that they focus on farm-to-table dishes, using their own herbs. I tried their Sg Restaurant Week Dinner Menu and loved the way it was thoughtfully curated. The appetizer, watermelon tartare, was refreshing, and the tortellini in tomato broth was wonderfully creamy. They offered a diverse selection of main courses and delightful desserts as well. We had a fantastic evening sitting by the river, savoring the beautiful dishes they prepared. The chefs and staff were incredibly friendly too. Thank you!

It's worth noting that the portion sizes weren't large, but that was intentional—as it allowed us to savor each dish without overindulging. Our birthday girl received a complimentary dessert, which was surprisingly delicious, featuring a generous serving of strawberries, her favorite fruit! Best of all, the pricing was quite reasonable considering the high-quality food, wonderful ambiance, attentive service, and cozy seating. We enjoyed a river view, which made the experience even more delightful. Overall, we were very impressed and will definitely return for another visit!
