The pulled pork tacos were a little brighter and more lime-forward than I’m used to, but the skirt steak burrito bowl was the highlight for me. Once I spotted the kimchi, it all made sense—Korean-Mex fusion! The bowl really hit the spot with the tender skirt steak and balanced flavours.
Special shout-out to the awesome lady at the till with the cool tattoos. Even though I arrived just before lunch service ended, she was incredibly friendly, patient, and accommodating. Service like that always makes the meal that much more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. 🙌🌮

Had the best steak !!!!
Came on a Friday night - staff look abit overwhelmed but still friendly and prompt. Will come again for sure.
It is a good Orchard spot for family and friends looking to catch up over drinks and good steaks!
Second round were fine but came with the pepper sauce already on ( we asked for on the side as 2 of us don't like pepper sauce) we the any way by just sharing between 3.
So at this stage 2 people has been given 2 reheated steaks and nothing else)
Round 3 got interesting as we had the same meat or so we thought but you will see the difference in the pics. Again, meat was not that warm but we let is fly as 2 of us had not much to eat at that point.
Round 4, same poor quality steaks but by that time we had given up as we can get 2nd rate steaks elsewhere at half this price.
(photos) steak one and steak 3 pictured. First one round and meaty, 2nd one full of gristle and fat.
Good wine selection though.
Will we go back, that's always the question. No.
The staff are incredibly hospitable and attentive. The atmosphere is warm and full of laughter. Endless servings of super yummy food freshly handpicked from the supplier straight to the chefs in the kitchen and finally on the tables for the hungry guests. What a big surprise. Love is in the air.
Looking forward to dining at their new premise in Wheelock Place soon.

외국에서 손님이 오면 가곤 하는데
클라크 키 뷰와 분위기를 좋아해서
이 지점으로 왔네요.
스테디엄 쪽도 분위기며 좋았는데 닫아서
많이 아쉽던 차에 관광객을 위해 오랫만에
들러 바깥쪽에 앉았어요.
수제맥주로 다양한 맛을 즐기기 좋고,
예전에 음식이 맛있어서 맥주보다
음식 먹으러도 오곤 했는데…
피자는 시키지 마세요.
트러플 향도 도우도 아무래도 약하네요.
나초도 예전 같지 않아서 매우 실망.
소세지는 제가 오더하지 않았지만
음식이 생각보다 약해서 아쉬웠어요.
항상 시켰던 KFC(간장양념 콜리플라워 튀김)와
케일 샐러드는 기본이구요~.
관광객들이나 손님 접대로
분위기를 차분하게 느끼기에는 좋은 곳.
맥주 한 잔이 2만원(세금. 서비스 포함)으로
싱에서는 싸진 않은 점이 아쉽지만..:
맥주잔이 비워지면 귀신같이 계속 와서
오더하라고 하니…
다른 때는 테이블 잘 보지도 않으면서…ㅎㅎ

The food was beautifully presented, and I especially loved the free-range Australian pork collar — it was super tender, juicy and full of flavour! We also ordered the lamb and salmon, and my family members agreed that both dishes were really flavourful and tasty. Everything was enjoyable and made the lunch even more memorable.
The service was also great. The crew were friendly, approachable and attentive throughout our meal. Just a small suggestion — since the still water is chargeable, it would be good if the crew could mention this when serving it, so guests are aware before ordering additional drinks.
Overall, we had a really pleasant dining experience at LeVeL33, and I’m glad I got to celebrate my birthday here with my family. ❤️ Definitely a memorable birthday lunch!
Great food, excellent drinks, and attentive service made the whole experience even better. It’s definitely one of those places where the view, ambience, and experience come together beautifully.
A must-visit when you’re in Singapore, especially around sunset and in the evening. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Ho prenotato in questo ristorante più interessata a provare le loro birre che il cibo, da amante della birra quale sono, ma sono restata piacevolmente sorpresa.
Innanzitutto la gentilezza dello staff: avevo prenotato alle 18.30 ma poi per problemi organizzativi ho chiesto di spostare la prenotazione alle 20.00 e mi è stato accordato senza problemi.
All’arrivo si sono anche premurati di darmi un bel tavolo con una vista stupenda sulla Marina Bay, cosa che ho apprezzato.
Ma veniamo al dunque: una cena meravigliosa! Ho iniziato con la loro tartare di wagyu e devo dire che già con quella sarei stata piena, perché oltre che buona è anche una bella porzione.
A seguire ho preso l’agnello, e non ha deluso.
Nonostante fossi piena ero curiosa del loro dolce al cioccolato e portar beer, che ho scelto di accompagnare, appunto, con una ottima porter da loro prodotta.
Tutto eccellente!
One of the best burgers I’ve ever had and they also have their own craft beers to enjoy on the 33rd floor of a skyscraper.
Sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, with attentive and professional service.
Excellent value for money if you considered the whole experience.
A truly pleasant discovery!

food was great. the beef was tender, and claypot meetaimak was right balance of swert savory
Prices are reasonable.
Pet friendly, at al fresco area.
The dishes we tried were tasty particularly the tofu dip!
Kopi and teh were the Gao types, so be aware! Kaya toast was so smooth and coconutty. Different from ya Kun in that the bread may not be as light, but the Kaya spread was way smoother.
Had the Kaya Butter Toast Set first while taking a call. Generous on the unique tasting kaya + butter, eggs texture creamy and cooked just right (bonus is they crack open for you so no fumbling around), kopi c kosong peng was balanced and just the right strength (for me).
Following, had 3 beers (Brewlander, Outtamost and Prizm) which were all good examples of their individual styles and priced very fairly.
However, the star of my visit yesterday was the Sio Bak 2.0 (sorry no picture, was deep in convo when the dish arrived)!
Crackling skin, tender flesh marinated so well, sliced into proper sized chunks and paired with the fresh and lively tasting chilli.. wow!
Thinking about it makes my mouth water, haha.
Luckily I managed to get some before it got sold out.
Have visited them over the years, and their food and drink offers have always been on point.
Staff there recognize and remember you and service has always been attentive.
Looking forward to my next visit to revisit their beef rendang, rempah fried chicken and sotong bakar that I also enjoy greatly.
They also have a new outpost at New Bahru if a more central location works for you.
Check them out for a great day/night out!

The crew came in and were all well mannered interesting individuals.
I love their coolness.
Overall this place is super chill.
With top grade food quality. Hard to find this combo.
A great little place to drink good beers and enjoy delicious dishes. SG Taps offers an excellent selection of local and international craft beers. The dishes are tasty, beautifully presented, and perfect for pairing with a good pint.
The atmosphere is friendly, informal, and relaxing.
They have a wide selection of Singaporean craft beers, and with many taps, it's fun to choose.
The atmosphere is welcoming even for women dining alone, and the staff maintain a comfortable distance. It was very pleasant. If you want to relax, I recommend visiting early before it gets crowded.
For food, I had the laksa pizza. The flavor was definitely "laksa," with a crispy crust and plenty of toppings—it was truly delicious and paired perfectly with the beer. It was quite large, and one pizza was enough to fill me up. Someone with a small appetite might not be able to finish it alone.
It was a wonderful place to enjoy delicious craft beer and heartwarming food at my own pace. I will definitely visit again!

I usually order the pasta option, which comes with a more generous portion. This time, I chose quinoa instead and was quite surprised by how little was served. Since I paid an additional $2 for the quinoa, I was expecting a more reasonable portion size.
Hope you can consider increasing the quinoa portion in the future. Thank you!
Flavour 5/5

Portion 4/5

The area is very nice and surprisingly cooling!
