The place is New, grand and luxurious yet the atmosphere is cozy, well maintained and clean. All the staffs are friendly and attentive even entertain special request to an extend whenever available. Everything works, from the perfect furniture selection to the final details like cutlery selection and strategic placements made the whole experience seamless. Came here for breakfast buffet (N/P: RM72+). All the food options no matter big or small, are of consistent quality, taste good and well balanced. There's also plenty of interesting options and sometimes experimental new menu items (so far i think its the best in the klang valley for this price point). Compared to similar competitor establishment of 5 star dining of similar price point (i.e. Sunway Putra), this establishment exceeded by a long shot. Of course sometimes there are some minor errors and technical errors like machine beeakdown and mislabeling, however it's understandable, looking at the number of active staffs, they're already quite under stressed and i thank all for such a wonderful experience and keep up the good work~ Overall its an excellent experience. Basement parking is shared with the rest of the complex (mall, office towers) and the rate is quite cheap starting from RM1++

Very near our home, 7am breakfast not crowded. Satisfying food variety, love their cold cuts and nuts, several kinds of different nuts so yum. They used to provide prawn meat at noodle station but last time I didn’t see, hope can have it again. 5-6 varieties of fruit, yoghurt also, which is nice. Egg made by order; I also like their hot dishes, chicken/fish even salmon are provided, as breakfast it does go extra mile. We already visited 5+ times, highly recommend.
