I have been here twice, once pretty late to have a couple of drinks and once to have dinner. Until my recent dining experience, I did not know that Barfly served restaurant quality food.

So here we were, a bunch of hungry-people celebrating Macadamia Naddz's birthday. Appetisers to share included onion rings and fries, typical bar food that is nothing much to shout about.

For my main course I tried the Beef Cheek. This is the third beef cheek I recall having in Singapore and I enjoyed it. The beef was soft and melted in my mouth.

I also managed to "steal" a juicy scallop off my friend's plate and that too was wonderful as the huge scallop had a nice bouncy and juicy feel to it that I could not bare to end this short but tasty experience by consuming the scallop.

Drinks were "one-for-one" so it made it made house pours very affordable. Now comes my little gripe. As the night progressed, the house music started getting louder and louder during intervals of an estimated fifteen minutes and it was not easy for the ears to handle. I never realised this in my first experience here because I came in when the music was loud and was ready for a party, but being a diner this music change gave me a totally different experience since my ears were accustomed to the soft music before the sudden outburst when it was time to end the meal and start the partying. The move in the change of music was a little too sudden for my liking.

The other thing that I did not like was that my long legs could not adjust to the short-legged chairs, making me feel a little uncomfortable at times. Service was efficient but tended to be a little intrusive.

In conclusion, while the food is good, I would still dine at a different place before coming here for drinks.
