    5/5 🌟.Great dining experience here! The food was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. The steak was perfectly cooked — juicy, flavourful, and nicely seasoned with flaky salt on the side. The bone marrow paired with pasta was rich and indulgent, and the oysters were fresh and well-balanced with a light garnish. The mushroom soup was creamy and comforting, and the fried calamari was crispy on the outside while still tender inside. Overall, the quality of ingredients and execution were impressive. Great atmosphere for a relaxed dinner. Would definitely come back again! 👍 Note that booking is necessary.

    Helmed by a group of young staff who possess lots of heart. All the items are cooked over glowing embers, which really brings out that elusive char sadly missing in modern day cuisine. Love the clean and chic interiors and easy parking too. Chef’s kiss goes to the following items: Grilled prawns- ask the restaurant for dark soy sauce and chili padi. Immerse each unctuous peeled crustacean inside the emulsion, quickly pop into your mouth, close your eyes, chew and let the magic unfold. Dry black Angus grilled striploin- pricey but flavourful and perfectly executed. Mashed potato- so smooth and buttery it just glides down your throat. Get it! Japanese grilled squid- Fresh and perfectly qq. Once again, dip it in the dark soya sauce and chili padi for a mouthwatering experience. We were delighted to receive a brownie with ice cream for dessert. It was goey sweet and decadent. Was it worth the drive from Singapore? Definitely.

    Had a fantastic dining experience at Temper Restaurant, the sister restaurant to Fire Pitz. They specialise in wood-grilled dishes, and you can really taste the depth of flavour that comes from the grill. We tried the grilled prawns and the grilled dry-aged mackerel — both were beautifully cooked, had the nice char, letting the natural flavours shine. The standout was definitely the Hanwoo beef. It was incredibly tender, melt-in-your-mouth good, and cooked to absolute perfection. Paired perfectly with the bottle of Malbec. The onion rings, though nice, was slightly on the oily side. The grilled eggplant with miso also did not disappoint, really well seasoned and the eggplant was so tender! Great food, well-executed dishes, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. A must-visit if you enjoy quality wood-fired cooking. Would definitely return!

    We had a great dining experience at Temper for a late V-day celebration on the 15th for dinner 🫶 We ordered the A4 Australia Wagyu, medium doneness, with the fagura sauce (must order!) and sweet potato fries, grilled sotong, and wild mushroom soup for our meal and topped it off with smokey cheesecake for dessert. We also had a glass each of their house red and white wines to pair with our meal. Overall a great experience! 🥹 Highly recommend for dates!

    Arrived at 5:30pm and, despite an initial queue, we were seated quickly when others left due to the 7pm table return for walk-in. The restaurant was already busy, so reservations are strongly recommended. The space has a casual, pub-like vibe with a lively atmosphere. Service was friendly but slow, from ordering to food arrival. The grilled prawns were flavourful and well charred, while the squid was decent but less memorable. The tenderloin and wagyu ribeye took the longest to arrive but were cooked exactly as requested and worth the wait. Fries were excellent, while vegetables and coleslaw were average. Overall, a solid meal if you’re patient. Book ahead to avoid any rush.
