Debated if I would allow this comment up. I think every restaurant will have hits and misses. Obviously this person had a negative experience…. heck our first visit didn’t blow us away either. But over time Epicurious has become one of our favorite spots in town. It’s not always consistent, and they do tend to get a bit busy and frazzled… but honestly I’m not happy with service anywhere in Singapore (apart from places like Iggy’s and Gunthers).

I don’t disagree with the above poster’s experience, but I do disagree with the conclusion. I’ve been many times since the first visit and have had many great experiences. You do have to come with a relaxed mind and assume that some things might go wrong… but to me that’s Singapore

Went to Epicurious @ Robertson Quay for brunch after reading some excellent reviews on them last weekend with my girlfriend to celebrate the news of her pregnancy. What an utter disappointment that was.

Granted it was a nice sunday afternoon at 1:30pm, the restaurant was busy with tables laid out at the front and people chit chatting away. After ordering, I (accompanied by my gf) went to have a smoke merely 5 meters away from out table and indicated so to one of the waiters. Upon our return, everything was cleared from our table and no one seemed to know how. They then took a total of 45 minutes to serve us our BREAKFAST food (eggs + sausages), and because we were famished, the food was walloped without us being able to taste much at all.

When I was trying to give feedback about the quality of service, the lanky lady boss (who walked out with an air of annoyance) was extremely unpleasant and defensive. She did not want to listen to constructive criticism and basically left me feeling that I had expected too much from her and her staff as they were busy. A simple notification at the point of our ordering would suffice, so that customers are given the choice to stay or go.

The couple sitting at the next table had a similar experience – the gentleman had to wait 45 mins for a simple bowl of mushroom soup.

I will NEVER EVER go back to ‘Epicurious’ again and I strongly advise your readers NOT to go there.

Maybe I shouldn’t have expected an epicure to be in ‘Epicurious’. Just a disrespectful person who doesn’t take pride in her restaurant nor care about her customers.
