Pandan
7.9
A hotel rooftop lounge that’s most compelling as a cocktails-and-small-plates stop, with the skyline doing the atmosphere work. Treat it like a focused two-round night—one signature cocktail, one or two bites, then call it before the spend creeps.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lobster dumplings, Pork bao buns, Crystal Jungle cocktail
Scores:
Value: 6.5
Service: 8.1

When to visit: Sunset reservations, Tuesday through Saturday
What to order: Crystal Jungle cocktail, lobster dumplings, pork bao buns
Insider tip: Reserve for a better seat—views vary by table.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Hotel valet available; limited street parking in the area and fills quickly at night.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy—heels, collared shirts, and polished looks fit the room.
Noise level: Moderate to loud later in the evening—early hours are best for conversation.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, longer at sunset.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—primarily an evening rooftop bar.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several small plates and sides work for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Limited—expect a couple of modifiable options rather than a full lineup.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free dishes; confirm with the server for sauces and preparation.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, especially as a first stop—great views and cocktails create easy chemistry, but it’s best for a shorter, focused visit rather than a long dinner.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible on weeknights or early evenings, but reservations are strongly recommended for sunset or weekends if you want a prime view.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—this is an adults-oriented rooftop lounge with a cocktail-first vibe and later-night energy.
Best For
Better for: Skyline views, stylish cocktails, and a polished rooftop atmosphere that works well for dates or girls’ night starts.
Skip if: You’re looking for a full dinner, quieter conversation, or strong value—this shines more as a drinks-and-bites destination than a meal.

7.6
A Viceroy rooftop lounge that’s more about skyline energy and tight, Southeast Asian-leaning small plates than a full dinner arc—best as a two-round cocktails-and-bites stop. Order one hot bite and one chilled/snacky plate, then call it before the spend and wait times creep.

Lobster dumplings, Spicy tuna on crispy rice, Ube flan
