The food is decent, but the service is very slow. We ordered a banana split for dessert and had to cancel it after waiting 20 minutes for it, even after we finished our meal. The staff were unapologetic about it and were very mechanical in cancelling the order, as if this was a common request. Then again, what is a Swensen's experience without its ice-cream sundaes? I hope the management can review the operational bottlenecks and challenges at the store and improve on them.

Suddenly had a craving for Western food and ice cream, and Swensen's seemed to be the only option here. I can't remember the last time I had it, but it felt nostalgic as I recall rewarding myself with a meal here during my JC days. They seem to have a lot more options now. The food was average; you get what you pay for the price.

Didn't they used to have chocolate balls, or am I mistaken?! )

AiA's birthday treat, so I got it for free. The soup with ham was mediocre. The salad was uninspiring, and the mashed potato, while rich and buttery, was just too dry. At least the fish was well grilled and tasted great with just the right amount of crisp. The meunière sauce was just a bit acidic, nothing much to complain about. Kudos to the manager for managing the staff. Honestly, if you didn't notice, it seems like most or all of their waiters are on the spectrum. So if you want a GL experience, just visit during a slightly peak hour for a unique experience of being told to wait and help yourself as he is busy.

The food is good and the service is nice, but the UI on the iPad menu is utter rubbish. I wanted to order two root beer floats. However, the immediate menu only had root beer, and I accidentally ordered root beer without ice cream. Fair enough, my fault. I then ordered another root beer zero (without ice cream). To my surprise, it came with a scoop of ice cream! I was like, 'Huh?' The waiter said, 'Oh, zero comes with ice cream.' So I asked how to order a root beer float. He scrolled to a side of the menu where it was called 'Treasure Island Float.' No way would I have thought this was a root beer float. In hindsight, I got a free float accidentally by ordering plain root beer zero. The TabSquare app version is much better – don’t use the iPad for ordering.

Service has improved tremendously since we last came. Well done to the team! The staff were attentive, efficient, and communicated well. We were looking forward to trying the cereal shrimp, but it turned out to be rather disappointing. The serving was very small, the shrimp were super tiny, and it tasted sweet. The rest of the meal was

Came here to buy an ice cream cake for my Dad's birthday and was pleasantly welcomed by Fazhan. He was smiling the whole time, helped me choose a lovely cake for my Dad, and even guided us to redeem a complimentary Firehouse Sundae. His wonderful service made our evening. Thank you!

Looks like some improvement on the menus, and service was fast. However, I didn't really like the sirloin steak; the meat was too soft, not as expected.
