Date Night

Salmon with Mango Sauce ($20.90) was surprisingly pleasant. A well-cooked salmon with a crispy skin atop, perhaps a bit tough but not overcooked. A subtle mango sauce that could be slightly tangier to enhance the dish’s flavours but certainly complements the salmon very well. I’ve been here a few times and I love their mashed potatoes. Nice smooth and chunky bits of mash that are not processed with a buttery undertone. [8/10]

Seafood Aglio Olio ($19.90) is worth a try. They are very generous with their seafood - large prawns, squid, scallops and mussels. If you fear the fiery chilli padi, please avoid this at all cost but if you love spice, this is worth the price. The prawns and scallops were great but the squid and mussels were a bit rubbery. Overall, a decent Aglio Olio! [6.5/10]

Stylo 82 Mocktail ($13) is a concoction of peach puree, orange juice, freshly squeezed lemon juice and ginger ale. Very refreshing and a simple but delicious mix. [7/10]

While waiting for your food or once you had your fill, do drop by the pool table with your partner and have a game ($2). Just approach any of the friendly staff! You can also try playing darts there as well!

If you are not a fan of restaurants in crowded malls, Vineyard is situated in the sub-urban area of Hortpark in Singapore and lets you have the peace you need as you dine in.

The Truffle Mushroom Pizza ($18) is certainly value for money as they are very generous with wild mushrooms and you don’t have to suffer eating those cheap mushrooms from the can. Unfortunately, it does not have the classic Italian oven baked pizza crust which I hoped for. [7.5/10]

The Tomato Vodka Cream Seafood Pasta ($24) is worth a try. If you want to try something different from the typical bolognese, alfredo, carbonara etc., this has a unique flavour and is the perfect balance between thick creaminess and acidity. [9/10]

The Signature Farmed Poulet ($28) was personally lacklustre for me. The chicken is comparatively drier than those of other restaurants but the skin is its saving grace. The sides of vegetables and mashed potatoes complemented the chicken very well. [6.5/10]
