Had the Wednesday crazy pasta dinner- choice of spaghetti, lasagna, ravioli. I had the spaghetti and my partner the lasagna. Only RM8. Great food. Plenty of staff. Had a band that night singing well known songs. Great atmosphere. Large bay windows looking out onto street. Went again next night. Happy hour pizza and pasta between 5 and 7pm, 50% off.... More

Nice place to sit and have a relaxed dinner. Atmosphere is great and the colonial feel of the place harps back to a bygone era. More

This is a delayed post. We went there back in September 2011. Two of us decided to have our dinner there based on the review that we read on the internet and it was good. We ordered Morroccan Market Salad, Bruschetta, Seafood Risotto, Turkish Pizza and one more main course which I forgotten the name. We couldn't finish the pizza... More

Went there for dinner after walking in town for a couple of hours. The hotel is old and has a really nice atmosphere, and the restaurant seemed nice and clean. We ordered a pizza margherita and pasta for our kids and a peperoni pizza with red wine for ourselves. Our kids food was really food and they ate a lot.... More

The restaurant is nice. There was an old man working, he is polite but won't smile. Pepperoni pizza looks like bacon slices. Not sure if they got the order right. More
