    Giraffe does indeed have fabulous ambience, being situated admist the greenery at the Istana Park opposite Plaza Singapura. And regardless if you were sitting indoors or outdoors, the ambience is just as nice. :)

    Some people may not opt for outdoor seats, for the fear of rain or humidity, yet don't fret just yet. Giraffe has great comfortable seats outdoors, that are sheltered and generally cooling, especially at night.

    I had a gathering with friends on the 2nd level, and the waitresses were all quite friendly and polite..though, not exactly very professional. Some orders were mixed up and they seemed quite confused at some point in time, but all in all, it was fine.

    However, one thing that would prevent me from going to Giraffe, would be their limited list of food in the menu. Each of the section in the menu seemed to only have less than 8 choices, well..except for the drinks.

    Oh! They do not serve water, by the way. Either you order their sparkling/distilled water at $3.90 (if i'm not wrong), or that u simply are forced to order a drink.

    Food wise, I had their Seafood Ricotti and..it was okay. The seafood didn't taste that fresh, but it was alright. Just average I guess. There was nothing special in the dishes..

    All in all, I guess Giraffe is only worth going if you are looking for a nice place with fabulous ambience, to just chill and relax over a drink or two.

      Giraffe is situated at Istana Park, right opposite Plaza Singapura. It's a glass building amongst all the greenery. Needless to say it has fantastic ambience with great music playing, perfect for a romantic meal or a chill-out with friends.

      The first level is the bar with wine, spirits and some finger food. From what I know, the drinks are fine, but don't get the finger food.

      Head to the second floor for the dining area. The servers are all smiley and look welcoming. There are seats inside and outside so you can choose. They have some sofa seats and regular dining ones. :)

      They basically serve up international cuisine. We picked quite a bit and enjoyed all. Food was a tad oily for my taste. But they change their menu so couldn't get the exact names of the dishes we had anymore. In the middle of our meal, we decided to change to indoor seats... This was the only glitch in the meal where the servers took very long to respond to us and to help us move in. Other than that, all was fine.

      We spent about $40 for the 2 of us so that's pretty regular. :) Good Stuff
