435 Orchard Road, #03-15 Wisma Atria, Singapore
Sat Dinner

One of my friends didn't want Chinese food and I didn't want Jap food. Somehow Whisk caught our eye and we ventured into this restaurant in the corner of Wisma shopping center out of curiosity since it's rather new.

The decor is baroque yet charming and whimsical with faux windows affixed and illustrations of kitties etched on the walls of the restaurant. Love the soft jazz playing overhead as well. I would think this is a nice place for friends to rest and relax while they enjoy a warm cuppa or some nice comestibles admist the buzzing crowd in town.

My friends ordered the soup of the day (Clam Chowder), prawn pasta in marinara sauce (I think) and fish and chips. I asked the waitress for recommendation between the ribs, half chicken and snapper. The ribs was culled.

Tried a sip of clam chowder and found it rather flavourful. However, it was nothing to cock-a-doodle-doo. Tried a bit of the fish and chips and pasta too. Hm...I don't really fancy what I sampled and my friend tot the pasta was alright only. Another friend seemed rather contented with his Fish & Chips though.

I was placated by the ribs. My friend commented that it had a herblike rosemary tang to it and I concur that it tasted minty. Well, I liked the ribs but the fries side fell short of glory. I like my fries crispy than squishy. However, those served were of the latter form. I didn't touch much of the fries.

Service was commendable as waters were filled to the brim continually during our short stint in the restaurant without any prompting at all.

My friends and I were commenting this place has the New York New York feel, except that it provides much more excellent service comparatively.

 
I also recommend this place for
Type of meal:Brunch, Lunch, Dinner
Occasion:Large Groups/Gathering, Romance/First Dates, Boys Night Out, Girls Night Out, After Work
