"bundok came high and the menu prices increased the expectations even further. my man and I enjoy high-end food experiences at home and away, so we have a fair idea of value for quality. the quality is mediocre [for higher eating,] the worth. is absent. we had the steaktar (a lot better sorts they find elsewhere in the city;) we found the sauce excessive and the taste of the flesh was buried. next was the pommes dauphine, the disappointing blanden, also with the rich sauce they were served. the top sirloin was the next and it was quite decent, but again it is better to find, especially at the price point bundok sits on the last 3 pieces meat were totally fat and unusable. Finally, the broccoli, the actually quite daring tasty and the parmesan suppe, which was also quite beautiful, although we were calculated extra (without warning) for it in two dishes, despite the waitress itself, this offers as convenientness (so the entire menu is family style for the exchange.) explain this. the big problem that the night completely ruined came when we tried to order cakes 1 hour and 45 minutes in our sitting places and said we had to move to dessert in the bar, as our table was reserved for 20:15 (we had a reservation for 18:30) we never had to learn that we were asked to leave our table and its surely unexpected when we were still eating less than 2 hours. we spent $178 on eating and drinking and were asked to clean our table 1 hour and 45 minutes after sitting. unreal! the server did not try to ensure that we have finished eating within their prescribed limit and did not notify us that they had a deadline. also the cocktails are expensive for nothing spectacular and always arrived (we have ordered two different types each.) this is a restaurant where we will not be back and we would recommend to avoid. it costs as a high end, but eating does not measure to the price point and the service is on the slow and uninformed side. the question of leaving our table 1h 45m is a first and, as mentioned, we often eat out. our visit to this restaurant marks the first time that we do not type and the first time that we have ever called to complain to the administration (which ultimately left us with each has an abandoned night and they would pass on our comments to the owners.) cordial gratitude, bundok, to these two unfortunate meilensteinen! this review was initially rejected as tripadvisor's policy, so it had to be released again. we have 8 feb 2020 dinated and the review was written on this day. now his month later, everyone I told this story is appalled and no one has such an experience in a restaurant. it was insulting to give up a table for another party."

"This was my 3rd visit for afternoon tea at The Peninsula--the food left much to be desired and the service was FAR too rushed. The savory and sweets look pretty but lacked in flavor. Overall, we feel ripped off to be completely honest. Our friends had just sat and we were catching up when someone rushed over to take our order. We hadn't even opened our menus. Nobody bothered to pay attention to this detail? We asked them to come back as we were not ready. No water was served and we were sweating from the lack of air conditioning in the room. And they cleared the plates of 3 of us when the 4th person was still eating--it is customary of high end establishments to wait until EVERYONE at the table is finished before clearing the table, however, they were clearly in a rush. It was awkward. Our final bill ended up being over $600 for 4 traditional afternoon teas--not how we remember our previous visits over the years. The quality has gone down while their prices have gone up. We were celebrating our friend's birthday and wished we had taken her and her husband to an amazing, fancy dinner instead. To add to the disappointment, as we were finishing our glass of champagne, they politely asked us to leave because their next seating was happening soon. 95% of the Living Room was empty and there was only one party of two waiting to be seated so they did not need our table that quickly and could've given us another 15 minutes or so to finish our champagne, especially since it was 3:30 and their next seating was not until 4pm. We did not appreciate being rushed out like this. Sadly, we will not be returning for afternoon tea at The Peninsula."
