I called two days before to make a reservation (yes i admit it was a tad too late) and hence I was put on the waiting list.
In the end, Daniel and I went there for lunch on a Sunday instead.
As the restaurant is situated inside a private estate, there are only a few parking lots. Hence the valet service. We illegal parked anyway.
As the estate was very quiet, I was shocked when I opened the doors to see that it was full-house. I wasn't expecting it to be a casual fine-dining restaurant either. Good thing I wasn't in my flip-flops.
The crowd was a mix of locals and Caucasians, family and couples.
We had squid ink pasta with crabmeat in pink sauce, a pizza, coffee/tea and ice-cream. The bill came up to about $90...
Go to http://www.valentino.sg/index.php to check out the menu.
The food didn't leave an impression on me, but the excellent service did. The staff were very attentive, prompt and friendly. That really made a difference to the entire dining experience. It's such a quaint restaurant I wouldn't mind revisiting.
Do check out the pastry shop next door as well. They've got some very interesting creation.
Oh, and a little note: They are closed during the June holidays. Something I found out while chatting with the staff.
My rating: 3/5
