I absolutely loved the atmosphere at The Grounds. The decor is stunning, and the ambience makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. They’ve put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming environment. The service stood out for me. It was the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness, which made the whole experience even better. Everything about The Grounds—from the decor to the overall vibe—felt thoughtful and inviting. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place to unwind and enjoy excellent service.

Very happy with this collab KOI X Sebastian. Very happy with the kakigori and paired well with the mocktail. Plus point we got the best seats right at the center and served by Chef Reynold & Chef Sebastian. The Kakigoris taste so light and not overly sweet so we still have some room for KOI cake afterwards. Excellent!!

The most memorable meal we have had in a long time paired with warm and attentive service. It was our anniversary and the staff made our evening particularly special, including by offering us complimentary champagne and wine (both of which were stunning). Thank you and we look forward to returning soon.
