My anniversary dinner at this restaurant turned out to be a disappointment. Initially expecting a fine dining experience, it felt more like a letdown. The service was notably subpar, with staff seemingly disinterested and robotic, merely going through the motions. Despite expressing my dislike for...truffles, the staff disregarded my preference and continued serving dishes infused with truffle, even during the dessert courses. It felt like they weren't attentive to customer feedback. However, the sommelier stood out, showcasing exceptional professionalism and knowledge. Overall, this establishment seems to have lost its charm and failed to deliver a truly accommodating and gracious dining experience. Needless to say, We won't be returning to Le Normandie. However, the Japanese Restaurant Kinu by Takagi might soon surpass them with their sublime food and service, possibly deserving of a Michelin star. Although we stayed at the Peninsula, not the Mandarin Oriental, they graciously arranged a ferry service for us without prompting. In stark contrast, Le Normandie left us waiting for our check at the front kiosk, neglecting attentive service. This stark difference in service quality warrants reconsideration for Le Normandie's place within this otherwise wonderful hotel.More
