• group lunch, party of 7

  I really enjoyed my experience. We were a party of 7 and had an amazing lunch there. Our waiter Erik was really sharp and made us comfortable. Their ahi tuna (signature dish) and chocolate dessert were really good!

• birthday dinner

  Great experience. Food was excellent. Service was attentive. Chose the 4-dishes menu option and it was more than enough. I went for a birthday dinner. We were seated in the more formal back room. Ambience was okay. Curtains were down, so no views - that was disappointing. The back room felt a bit crowded. I didn’t love the environment.

• birthday dinner

  I had the privilege of coming to JG for my birthday with my siblings so we got the 10 course tasting menu. The ingredients were fresh and I was glad that I got to try the famous egg toast and tuna noodles which were delicious. The rest of the Asian fusion tasting dishes were not great. I love strong flavors like Laksa but I found that some dishes were overly salty. Particularly, the lobster dish tasted like sea water...( I think they forgot coconut milk or something?) The staff however were very understanding and gave us extra dessert because of the lobster dish. People were friendly and I felt very special that I got a really delicious chocolate cake for my birthday.

• group dinner

  Fantastic food, beautiful dining area. The staff were incredibly courteous and accommodating. I came with a party but had to leave early to catch a flight, the staff was able to get me my entire meal, and gave me a cake for the plane in under an hour. An incredible experience and will surely be back.
