Lovely place to enjoy a great view and food at Marina Bay. They a variety of drinks food in their menu if you do not have any restrictions. Siva and Ganesh were great in serving us with the other team of staff. Everyone was very professional and shown positive attitude to serve the customers. Customers sitting indoors in the air conditioned environment can always take a walk out to the open deck to admire the view and take pictures. If you are sitting outside then be prepared to have many customers from indoors walking around you while you enjoy your servings. Hence I would suggest to sit indoors. Food quality is superb and we enjoyed every dish to ordered to try out. Highly recommend this place to visit if your pocket can afford. Of course do not forget to get a carpark coupon for 3hours free parking.
Andy Smith
What a fantastic Italian. We went here twice; once for dinner for my daughters birthday and once for drinks in the evening, finally leaving around 1am. We had an outside table in both instances from which the views are fantastic, right out across the city and bay. The food quality was excellent and the presentation exceptional for the dinner. Really could not fault either the food or the service. They were very accommodating, managing to find us an outside table for dinner. I would definitely recommend a meal here.

I booked a sundown reservation to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The moment we stepped out the lift we wowed with the spectacular view and ambience! We were welcomed by nice and friendly attendants and the servers have ensured all our needs are taken care of. We were even checked from time to time by one of the SA’s, Miguel to make sure that all are good and okay. Lavo has made it even extraordinary when they surprised my husband with a complimentary birthday dessert. It was truly an amazing and remarkable experience. And surely, we’ll come again to visit! 😍

We went as a family of four during our holiday and I must say that it was a wonderful experience. Everything we ordered from the Al la carte menu (starters, mains and dessert) was delicious and very well presented, with decent portion sizes. The staff is very professional, friendly and attentive. Service was very quick too. The best bit was a view from the 57th floor. Our booking was from 5:45 till 7:45, so we got to see the beautiful view of the city in daytime as well as the lovely sunset. It was a warm day but the cool breeze helped. We sat outdoors which I think was a good decision as we had an amazing city view whilst having our dinner. We really loved this place. Would definitely recommend it!!

Dinner here was great! It is the third time here and the service was professional, staff was attentive and prompt, food is delicious too. Dee has been helpful to introduce us the menu, tell us about the sky bar lounge and check in on us now and then to find out what we need. Her manager also came to chat with us during our waiting time and his kind gesture to tell us more about the place was appreciated and we enjoyed the sharing. Thank you for the great service! 🙂
Sailanie Hadjirasul (Sai)
Dine last night 30/7/24 for our 10th Anniversary. The food was amazing, the ambiance was so great, the service was so great, so attentive, so knowledgeable plus so surprising that the service anticipated our big night as a couple and she prepared for us a sliced cake with the word Happy 10th anniversary. So great, so amazing. Thanks for the great service, and food, will recommend it and come back.

A little overpriced but the place is quite likely worth a drink for its spectacular ambience and decency. Probably one of the best places to enjoy the iconic Marina Bay Sands view with open-view seatings.

An aesthetic joint with a good variety of tasty burgers. There are several floors to the restaurant, with an air conditioned second floor, a bar on the third floor, and an open-air top floor. The burgers aren’t too pricey compared to other joints, but be prepared for about $25 per pax after GST for just a burger (and perhaps $40+ if you’re going for drinks as well). I had the Burning Man burger which was packed full of flavour and tender beef and jalapeños. My only thought is that the burgers could afford to be larger, as they can be on the smaller side compared to other burger places. I may not frequent this place so often given the current price-to-portion ratio, but it may be worth an occasional visit to bring friends who haven’t tried it.
Sarah Driemel
Without a booking, we walked in at 11pm and were seated straight away on the rooftop. The atmosphere was lovely, great music, and wonderful staff. Cool and breezy on a hot evening. We ordered x2 burgers and x2 cocktails and a desert to share. It was quite pricey, but everything is in Singapore. The burgers were delicious! Hot, fresh and juicy! They went well with our drinks too….Best cocktails we have had in Singapore ! We loved this place, absolutely recommend it.

One if the famous spot in this area. We go to the rooftop bar for some cocktails and small bites before ending the day. Service was good, my cocktails and fries taste ok. When we arrived the place is full, some people after us needed to queue, this place is on high demand even they got some food indoors seating area on the 2nd and 3rd floor. The place is nicely decorated and got a quirky atmosphere. Love it. Staff is friendly and attentive.

An absolutely amazing place with a great view! Food and cocktails were great. Signature oysters are highly recommended! Special thanks to Warren, an amazing waiter! Thank you very much for your hospitality. Your recommendations were all great. I had great Valentine’s day memories and photos with my husband there!
Irfan Silalahi
I had a really nice chat accompanied with good view from day light till sunset by the Singapore river. The ambience of this bar is quite special. The staff was great and very accommodating, making it very comfortable to enjoy the company, view, and time there.
Jason L
Everything was perfect. Despite the warm weather during my visit, it was comfortable. Great vibes, amazing view, and good food and drinks – a robust combination for a good time especially when service comes with a smile as well. While space is pretty limited in the U-shaped setting, it felt sufficiently private yet close enough proximity to make new friends if you so choose. Will be back when I’m feeling up for oysters – the flavour combinations are all pretty interesting!

Customer Reviews:
Ondrej
Great outside terrace with sweeping views of MBS and its surroundings. We have visited just the outside terrace, so I cannot say anything about the fine dining restaurant inside. Outside however the main selling point is obviously the magnificent view. We ordered a bottle of champagne from the well curated wine list and enjoyed the sunset vibes. Bar snacks were quite decent, but given the fact that this is coming out of a kitchen that currently holds one Michelin star I would have expected a bit more. Overall however, a cool place to enjoy the evening!
Amos Sini
This place WOW me in different ways, first is how artistic the food were plated and by the way it looks you tend to just take photos…it isn’t just the looks but also the taste that brought me to liking visiting Italy.. Also on how warmth the service were, upon entering, until we left – we were brought us to our table assisting me/us with elegance (we were seated next to the window with the Marina Bay Sands view) it was really romantic. I just wanted to commend the service staffs, who let us feel comfortable for the whole dinner, on how they share each and every dish, they do upselling as well were I don’t feel they’re pushy, they sounded they trust the dish they’re selling and it feels that it is really a must have/try, and when they know that I and my friends are talking, they don’t intrude. I like that. Keep it up and maintain the eye for detail! The price with 1 Michelin star, I would say reasonable. I highly recommend this place especially for couple.
osigep
Absolutely a five star restaurant! The food was innovative and delicious from the starter through dessert with a very good wine list and excellent wine pairings. I cannot speak enough about the service. It makes the hospitality industry proud. It was friendly, helpful and they make you feel really special. The atmosphere with its floor to ceiling windows of unobstructed views of the city, the MBS area were absolutely gorgeous. We had a sunny clear day on our visit on Friday the 22nd but I have to believe that on a rainy day it would feel incredible to be watching mother nature. I could not recommend this restaurant more on the rooftop of the National Gallery. If you have not had the chance to enjoy this experience, it is a must for both visitor and Local Singaporean. Congratulations to the Service Staff, Bar Staff and the Chefs!!! THANK YOU.

If you’re searching for the ultimate escape, look no further than 1-Altitude Coast. This homegrown rooftop destination is the highest and only rooftop bar and restaurant in all of Sentosa and as such draws in both epicureans and sun-seekers alike looking to escape the city. From here, one can enjoy stunning views overlooking Palawan Beach and the Singapore Straits as well as marvel at Sentosa’s daily fireworks show. 1-Altitute Coast features a traditional all-day menu that includes light snacks, salads, platters, and big-plate meals such as their seafood laksa pasta, bacon and egg pizza, Wagyu beef burger, and more. Recently, however, their new Sunday Grills n Chills BBQ By The Pool has been all the rage as it offers new flavours like free-range pork cutlets and boneless chicken thighs, Kinross lamb steak, Akaora king salmon fillet, and much more.

Attended a wedding dinner here on 24th March. Beautiful space with a great view of the sunset, my friends managed to get some wedding shots with the fireworks in the background. Food tasted great, all the service staff were really friendly and approachable. Afterparty was really chill, bar was fast in serving out the drinks!
Eileen Liu
We booked some tables for an event. Ariff and Qash offered outstanding impeccable service and made us and our guests feel very welcomed. He constantly checking on our F&B satisfaction and even ensuring that our wine glasses are never empty! Each and every interaction with them is full of sincerity & service from the heart. Where can we find such high level of service and sharp customer in a cafe other than Sol & Luna in Sentosa! Pls look for them if you are to hold any event here. 🙂
Grace Chew

Superb dishes using fresh ingredients and prepared well, attentive service that is not intrusive, and a wonderful view over Sentosa and the cable cars as the sun sunk below the horizon.

Food is good (get the brussel sprouts) but the service is in a league of its own – and so are the killer cocktails!! Anton took into account what each of my friends & I like to drink and delivered not once, not twice, but at least three times (I stopped counting after that)! Thank you Ajaib for taking care of our table, David for the great pics, and the whole Dusk team for making my birthday special 🫶🏼 The live band song dedication was the cherry on top of an already perfect cake 🍒 Oh, and did I mention the vibes are amazing? Hilltop bar with a live band and great sunsets? Yes please. 💯
