I recently celebrated my birthday at Ferdinand's. The setting was lovely, gorgeous flowers on the tables, interesting artwork, romantic lighting and ocean views. The menu was imaginative and the food beautifully presented. Three of us tried the signature seafood soup dish which lived up to it's reviews and was prepared with theatrical precision at our table. The service was impeccable... More

5 star dining at its best. Staff were very well versed in etiquette but you never felt out of place. Chose this based on a TA recommendation for Mum's birthday and everything was perfect. Food was impeccable, atmosphere was wonderful and staff 10/10. Yes it's on the high side, but no more expensive than I would pay in New Zealand.... More

We had great expectations of this award winning restaurant and it met them. Recommend their table side seafood tomato soup! The views by the window are great for watching the sunset. More

Flagship restaurant at Sutera resort. Menu is short but covers most things (good balance) and is solidly European. Not much local influence here. Staff were attentive and competent, as to be expected. Wine selection is limited for such a restaurant. Maybe it is simply too hard to maintain one. More

Service and food is fabulous. It's the place we go for every birthday, anniversary and other celebration. There are few places in Sabah which provide international standard service and food. Our favourite place! Often not busy, but the ambience is lovely. More
