DO NOT DINE at JAAN @ Swissotel Stamford Hotel

We found with a great disappointment that we were not going to taste Chef Julien's French cooking due to their poor service. This was not even a dining service but with their reservation service which left a negative impression and made us reluctant to reserve a table.

They mentioned their reservation window was not opened yet, they took your detail and put you in 'their list' yet they didn't been in touch with you and once you ask them again, they told you that you were in Queue again for a table??

It is so apparent that even manager level at Swissotel is not well trained to handle this situation and made matter worse by saying that they 'actually' took a reservation if you are willing to reserve it by making advanced payment. ???

If you do that, please make it a fair and open condition, don't do it when we brought up that at Le Jules Verne, Eiffel Tower with limited table openly did that.

It sounded as if they do accept bribe to secure a table?

This is supposedly a fine dining restaurant but seeing how lack of honesty for patrons that are willing to come and visit the restaurants were a horrific service to any restaurant and albeit a proclaimed fine dining with minimum of S$300/pax

Please do not spend your time making reservation and then proceed in saying goodbye to that kind of spending at JAAN, it is best to visit other fine dining restaurants which has trained its staff well.

The Kitchen Table @ W Sentosa Cove, Singapore

W Hotel is always synonym with its chic, modern and creative interior design and art installations throughout the hotel. It is no wonder you can expect the same from its restaurant, and The Kitchen Table at W Sentosa Cove is no exception.

From its table setting, dinnerware to dishes offered during breakfast hour, the restaurant bound to awe you and leave a memorable breakfast like no other hotel.

Breakfast at W Sentosa Cove guaranteed will satisfy your morning hunger. From Asian counter with hot noodles to its pastries collection, it was presented with attention to details and easy on the palate.

Service was attentive and prompt despite running on full house. I would recommend to come before 9 am though as it was less chaotic and ample food supply.

If you stay at W Sentosa Cove, do try their breakfast or buffet at The Kitchen Table.

Their table furnishings are impressive
Displaying Stelton Coffee Pots are impressive enough to show they know which are good brands but pity if they are only for display
Dining area
They did go in length for their decor
This fresh juice were excellent and this brand was not for sale anywhere else
Loving this presentation 
Food counter with prepping station
These were croissants on Kebab style...I was tickled by this idea indeed
View from entrance
Main food counter
This Salmon Egg Benedict was beautifully done
Again, W attention to detail are proven in their utensils
Yummy prawn laksa
Few dim sum; not a bad either
These Eggs in A Cup were another highlights for me

Pretty cheese pastry as our closure
