We did the studio experience where we received three desserts with matching cocktails for a set price. While each course and matching drink was certainly delicious there were a of things we thought could be improved. Firstly, we found that we got quite full, not from the food but from the drinks. Drinks were served with the desserts and courses were served with absolutely no break in between them. In fact at one stage, the next dessert was placed in front of us before we’d finished. It would have been nice to have had some time to digest and appreciate both food and drinks. Perhaps the main problem was that we felt the desserts served were beautiful and certainly delicious, they were quite one dimensional in that all three desserts had either an ice cream or sorbet base. It would have been better to see some other techniques used and to have some different textures to experience.

Thoughts and designs were intricate and mind blowing. However, for the price of the degustation, small things like having the same glassware across the table; not dragging the plates when serving need to be taken into consideration.

Absolutely incredible experience, and one we will book into again for future menus. Each course looked stunning, tasted divine and offered a unique dining adventure. Being able to watch the exquisite craftsmanship whilst enjoying the food enriched the experience immeasurably. We felt cared for, considered and appreciated. The space was warm and tranquil, the staff delightful and attentive. We're looking forward to our next visit!

With the amount paid for this high tea, the level of service and ambience were not up to expectation. Also dissappointed with the the presentation of the high tea rack for 3 people as it reflected lack of thought putting the food on them. Staff seemed to be disorganised, distance and lack attention to diners needs. Having said I would like to acknowledge the host who welcomed us was very friendly and briefed us before we started the high tea. Unfortunately, that level of service subsided once we're served. We've to look out and called out for service. Moreover, it was not noted on the booking confirmation of the 10% surcharge. Koi knew this high tea was on the weekends and should have noted the 10% surcharge on the booking confirmation. Really dissapointed as the level of service and ambience were below expectations especially this was high tea was by Koi and the amount charged subjected to 10%.

Desserts always amazing! Second time for the soft opening and thoroughly enjoyed just found the service was not quite up to the same as the previous time we had attended.

Great cakes! we especially love the Opera Cake. A bit sad because only few cakes left when we came, so we didn’t really have choices. Services could be better in terms of the hospitality.
