Colony Buffet Singapore Reviews
Too crowded with some random convention participants flooding the restaurant with their boorish, loud, uncouth behaviour. Otherwise the food and service was fantastic as always.
Had a pleasure dining at Colony restaurant with colleagues.One of the best hotel buffets. Wide variety of food, great service staff.Thanks to Western Chef Adam K.
Food is exceptionally great! Didnt expect food can be so yummy for buffet style dinning! Kudos to chef Adam!
Mr Anthony attended to our table during this lunch visit. He was very friendly and took good care of us, providing serviettes and wet tissues without us asking. Also checked in on us regularly to see if we needed anything. Mr Sundar (I hope I got his name correct) from the hot food station also was excellent - he helped my young nephew to carry his bowl of hot tomato soup to the table as he was concerned my nephew might find the bowl too hot to carry. Thank you Mr Anthony and Mr Sundar for making our lunch visit a real pleasure. We have been to Colony many times over the years. Service standards and food quality has always been excellent.
The food was good but unfortunately it was the weakest and worst tasting cup of tea I've had in a long time - one tea bag in a huge pot! I would love to come back again if I knew the tea was going to be as good as the food 🙂
40pax only provided 8 parking coupon. Foods ok but cooked foods is so so as per my colleague. Crab, roasted pork n squid ink linguine ok. Oyster got sand, not really enjoy it. PH Eve $92++
Always our go to buffet place for the fam! Great service from Rahul, who promptly changed our plates and replenish our water. And great service from Jasper who served the rojak station ! We will be back!
Today, my family and I had the pleasure of dining at Colony restaurant, and our experience was truly exceptional thanks to the outstanding service provided by Ashin and Ajay! From the moment we were seated, they were attentive, and ensured our every need was met with a smile.What truly impressed us, however, was their exceptional handling of a difficult situation. We were understandably upset after being overlooked by another staff member during the entry process, despite arriving early and being at the front of the queue with a reservation. Ashin and Ajay listened intently to our concerns, offered sincere apologies, and assured us that our feedback would be taken seriously and acted upon. Their empathy, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction turned a negative experience into a positive one.Throughout our meal, Ashin and Ajay continued to provide top-notch service, ensuring our glasses were always full, and our used plates were promptly cleared. Their attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and genuine care for their customers is a testament to their exceptional training and dedication to their work.Colony restaurant is fortunate to have Ashin and Ajay on their team!
Mareena is very attentive and taken care of us well. A nice touch she presented my wife with a birthday cake at the very last.
Best Sunday Brunch in Singapore! Must try! I would highly compliment on Mike's exceptional service. His attentiveness and professionalism makes the dining experience enjoyable!
Great place for Sunday brunch ... amazing choice of food and beverages, free-floating champagne, attentive service ...the best Sunday brunch in Singapore
Service and food worthy of a 5* hotel. Variety for lunch buffet was such a massive range, it was impossible to try everything. Quality was top notch, with some better than others. Seafood was fresh, cooked food appetizing, dessert lovely. Only downside was the cheese platter, with a rather boring selection and pretty dry. Service was top-notch, very friendly and attentive staff.
Absolutely fabulous. Had the Sunday brunch with the whole family. The variety & quality are all excellent. The service was really professional and attentive. The environment is elegant and refined. They even gave us two small cakes to takeaway to celebrate two birthdays.
This is probably the best of all buffets in Singapore,within a similar price range. But even then, some dishes were better than others. Let's start with the wins. Both the cold and chilli crabs were mostly fresh and succulent. The lobster bisque was also very good. The desserts were on a level of their own, unparalleled by any other buffet. Almost every dessert item tasted heavenly.What wasn't so great was the papery thin oysters, so thin that it was ridiculous. I gave up eating after a few. The baked lobsters were also a tad rubbery. It was difficult to cut up the lobster meat, which was evident of them being frozen and not fresh. The fish served at the Indian section was also dry and tasteless.The atmosphere was classy and the service, polite and fairly prompt. So if the buffet could serve meatier oysters and less rubbery lobsters, then it deserves a 5 stars.
Unpleasant experience at Colony 🫤I will not trust the reviews anymore...BTW I've sent email to u ages ago. Kindly check your email .
Great place with great food!We had a good time celebrating birthday at Colony. The ambiance was amazing and staffs are very attentive. Food varieties are great. Would definitely love to go there again.
Indulged in a delightful afternoon tea "Journey" at the Ritz-Carlton. The service was impeccable, as expected from such a prestigious establishment. The highlight of the semi-buffet for me was the wide selection of delectable chocolates, macarons, cakes, and ice cream.Among the savory options, the Caviar Rosette shells and Duck Rillettes Tart were truly exceptional. The Masala crab pani puri was a fascinating fusion twist on a classic Indian street food, offering a unique and delightful surprise. Another favorite was the made-to-order warm crepe, arriving perfectly warm and delicious.While everything else was divine, the ice cream was a bit of a letdown. It tasted like it had a fair amount of stabilizers, which was unexpected for such high-quality ingredients at the Ritz.Overall, it was a wonderful high tea experience. The savory selections and service were outstanding, and the overall ambiance was delightful. While the ice cream wasn't quite up to par, everything else was fantastic.
Nice place with good food for lunch buffet. The service staff are friendly and attentive.
The food is really not good and very tasteless. Laksa legit cannot taste anything, the lamb also the rosemary and spices not seeped in...Dessert was decent at best but no variety. No pastriesHeard really good review and went with high hopes but in the end disappointed man 😔
Went there for a dept event. Tiong Hui is serving us. He is very polite and very prompt in serving all our requests.
"Until they improve on their food I won't be back"I've been to the Colony many times pre-covid and even during the covid period. During covid period they were doing ala carte buffet. You order and they serve it to you at your table.They are now back to the normal buffet style of having food in various sections for you to pick up yourself.Given the many times I've come, this is the most disappointed I have been in the quality of their food.Here is the feedback from me and my family:1) Food is overly seasoned with saltFor me I love salty food and savoury dishes but the salt level here is dead sea level for some of their dishes. E.g. the potato mousseline was so salty I just could not bring myself to finish it. Their crustacean bisque was also quite salty for my liking.2) Food is not uniformly cookedMy mother took a seared salmon which had overly salted skin. But the main thing is she took seared salmon because she disliked raw salmon and yet part of her salmon wasn't cooked and it was raw.3) Quality of ingredients deprovedTheir oyster was practically non-existent. I'm not sure if its just this shipment but I tried 5 and it was all the same. Their freshly shucked oysters were so thin it was totally unsatisfactory.4) Selection and varietyDuring covid the selection was a lot more compared to the current selection they have.That being said there are still some good things I would like to recommend here:1) The colony laksa was pretty good. The cockles were plump and fresh and don't be shy to ask for more as the chef that was cooking it was generous.2) Their colony dessert wrap is a favourite for me. There was a period it was taken off the menu. I appreciate this tiny dessert because it combines taro ice cream (love), coriander and crushed peanuts in a thin wrap. Unconventional but it works.3) Their fruit selection has raspberries and blackberries. Personally I have been liking berries more and more but they are pretty expensive and having them at a buffet is surprising for me because other buffets I go to don't usually offer this as part of their fruits.4) Their Tiramisu here is on the wetter side but I personally prefer drenched alcoholic Tiramisu so this was good for me.5) Their sashimi was pretty fresh. I had the salmon sashimi and I quite liked it.What they did well:1) Wait staff are exceptional. They clear the plates at your table almost immediately and are very attentive. They will top up your water without you asking and prepare tea for you if you should need it.2) Ambience here is a 5/5 if you've looked at other photos of this place I suggest coming around 6:30pm. Taking a photo at the entrance during that time can be really nice as the natural lights flood in through the glass ceiling. The seats are comfortable and there is warm lighting so it creates a cosy and comfortable atmosphere. Great for anniversaries, birthdays and events.Would I come here again? Probably not voluntarily. Given the price point at $92++ from Sunday to Thursday for their dinner buffet although I left feeling full I was totally unsatisfied with the food. Until they improve on their food, I won't be back.
Had lunch buffet for a large group booking and was attended by Ajay, he was really prompt and helpful with the service and was really happy to serve us. Love the buffet spread on a Friday lunch, with cold crab legs and sashimi.
One of the best buffet i have eaten in Singapore the service the ambience the food wish that their booking is not so difficult to book so i can go often.. 😄😂
Top notch quality food especially the service. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Colony and we were treated by staff more than as regular guest but close to a vip which we did not expect at all as its our first time dining in Colony. We would want to commend Tessa Reyes who served us well and ensured that we are well attended to. Please keep up the good work and Colony should be the gold standard for quality food and service in the hotel industry in Singapore.
No doubt the best buffet in SG! Service and ambience was also great!RecommendationsCold section: prawn, crabCooked food: wasabi prawnDesserts: chocolate truffle, peanut ice cream roll
Quite simply, the best free-pour Sunday brunch in the galaxy. It's expensive...240sgd...but look at it this way, 80sgd per hour... which means the food (nothing short of exceptional) is kinda free! 😉
Buffet food variety is good. Atmosphere is abit dark. Not comfortable to eyes. Would like to compliment one of the staff , Elijah Chia. Very friendly with very good customer service.
Dear Management Team,I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service experience my family and I had at Colony on February 24, 2024.Despite a minor issue with our meal, the swift action and exemplary service provided by James, the restaurant manager, truly exceeded our expectations. James went above and beyond to rectify the situation promptly and ensure that our dining experience remained top-notch. His professionalism and dedication to upholding the high standards of Colony were evident throughout our interaction.Additionally, we were delighted by James's initiative to involve Chef Prakash, who graciously explained the details of our meal to us, further enhancing our dining experience.As loyal patrons of Colony, we have always been impressed by the consistent excellence of your service, and James's outstanding performance only reinforces our loyalty to your establishment.Thank you once again to James and the entire team at Colony for consistently delivering exceptional service. We look forward to our next visit and continuing to enjoy the unparalleled dining experience you provide.Warm regards,Dr R
Excellent service, and Colony staff never fail to keep guests well served and taken care of. One of the best restaurant that i love to visit always, especially when i have an occasion to celebrate. Fine high quality food, beyond measures excellent service from the service crew. It was my mum's 70th Birthday Lunch, and the 2 staff who came and sang birthday song to her were really nice, and cute, the chef even helped to take photo of my mum at the seafood spread. She had a great time at lunch, something that will leave an impression in her 70th. Thank you Coloy Service Crew and Chef!
No defamation but the truth, my dad's bag got stolen (by a non diner) in Colony. After checking with the staff, was told Colony is an open concept buffet. Indeed there is no barrier and my mistake for assuming there will be a strict assessment before anyone could pass through the host since it's a 5 star hotel. Overall a very unpleasant experience.
Best ever experience! Came here for my sisters birthday and we had the best ever service from John 🥰 lovely man took photos for us and constantly asked us for our coffee orders with the sweetest smile 😋 it was such a pleasure being served by him throughout our meal! Thank you so much John and his team, for the best brunch ever
We came with great expectations!!! Based on reviews and pictures, unfortunately total opposite impression.Atmosphere is really hectic !!! Many people standing lanes to get food, and overall very disrespectful crowd who paid many and wants to eat as much as they can!!!! Place was really dark, probably to avoid seeing that foos is not fresh!Very limited selection especially international part, for kids nothing. Not tasty at all, the food servers specially pasta guy was rude.I can go on another 1000 words, but i feel just waste of time as lot of people surprisingly like this low quality food and service! Not for me!
My family went there to celebrate my mum’s and my birthday. We had buffet. We really enjoyed it cos it was a good spread and the food was sumptuous. Staff were very friendly and kind. They were very attentive despite of the crowd. My elderly mum somehow vomited and the staff were super compassionate. Though carpet was stained and chair dirty yet they able to keep their cool and very understanding towards my mum. We felt bad about it and we want to apologise for all the inconvenience caused. Thank you so much.
The service and ambience were pretty good but disappointed at the seafood section. Ireland oyster was so salty and small, completely different experience which I went last time. Steak however was good and quite a lot of hit and miss this time round.
Best buffet in town! Hands down! The range of variety is excellent, the quality is impressive across different cuisine available. The cold cuts and sashimi are fresh while the hot food ( Chinese , western, local and Indian ) are all delicious and expected of a 5 star hotel. Service is impeccable and ambience is lovely . They are pretty busy even for a weekday lunch and I can see why . Will be back !
Amazing high-tea buffet selection. Very newborn friendly and quiet corners available if you need to cradle your young one to sleep. Great service by the staff.
Thoroughly impressed with the food, service was prompt (appreciate greatly that the lemon wash and crab scissors appeared promptly after getting my plate of seafood), prompt at clearing plates too.Very good spread of food, quality is really good. If they served this to me in person for ala-carte , I'll be impressed already, what more a buffet.Very good and welcoming staff that help take photos enthusiastically. Will be back!
Was here to celebrate an anniversary. Overall, everything was great. Food was amazing, restocked very promptly when running out. Some highlights were the crab legs, risotto, oysters, and sashimi.However, I just have some feedback on some dishes: For the sashimi, when I arrived at about 8pm, there was Sweet Shrimp (Amaebi) sashimi on offer. We took a few pieces and went back to our table to eat. We wanted to come back for seconds but it ran out, and was never restocked all the way til the end of the night.For the Pork Ham, when we first arrived, there were very nice cuts of what seemed to be like Jamon Aged Ham on offer. We also took a few pieces but when we went back, it got restocked with a pale looking, much lower quality version of parma ham, and the initial ham was never put out on offer again.These inconsistencies slightly disappointed us and made what would have otherwise been an exceptional dinner a little less exceptional.Other than that, amazing service, amazing food, great value for money compared to the other Hotel buffets in Singapore. Be sure to book in advance as Colony is really popular!
A lovely and warm place to celebrate my birthday with my hubby and kids. We had wonderful high tea today. Thanks for all the warm service and will be back soon.
Thanks to the kind and careful service, it was a pleasant and comfortable meal time.
I had a wonderful time at this restaurant yesterday. It is the best buffet in Singapore, hands down. My friends and I have a tradition of dining here every first day of the Lunar New Year, and we always look for manager Raj to chat and catch up with him. He is very friendly and funny, and he always cracks jokes and makes us feel welcome. He also brought us beers and food without us asking, which was very generous of him. Special mention to staff member who impressed us was Mason, who served us Yusheng. He was very polite and professional, and he explained the meaning of the dish to us.
My all-time favourite dining venue with family - love the luxury ambience, cleanliness and quality & variety of food.
Service and food! We love the champagne and negroni during our champagne sunday brunch
We want you to know that we are very pleased with the quality service of service staffs especially Mr Ajay. He has a pleasant personalty and a keen eye for detail.
The colony is a great place to celebrate your special occasion. Food is so nice. Ambiance is luxurious. Staff is also very nice. We were served by Frecel and she is so good.
I visited for the holiday dinner buffet.Seafood seems to be popular, so it was very crowded and a bit noisy.The food was generally of a high standard that you would not experience at a Japanese buffet.I brought my child there, but he was a little disappointed, so he gave me a coloring book as a gift. It was a very good experience.
I sat by the window and had a delicious meal. During the coronavirus pandemic, I didn't like the food brought to me, but it was even better when I saw it in person and ate it.
Great selection of weekday lunch buffet! Atmosphere was great and definitely worth the value - one of our favorite buffet in SG
Amazing buffet food! What made it better is the amazing service from Mr Raj! Very knowledgeable and efficient! Thank you!
Was in on dinner for 21/jan/2024.Variety of food was pleasant & top notch service from Raj.
We went here for the lunch buffet for around $85 per pax.Here there’s a lot of variety from different cuisines. You’ve got fresh seafood which has clams, prawns, crabs, a lot of different variety which are really good. There’s also a pasta station where there’s different types of pasta you can choose from. At the western side, there’s sliced lamb that you can request, and a variety of sauces you can take yourself. My favourite one is the onion marmalade to go with the lamb as it’s salty and flavourful.There’s also and indian section where you can get naan, biryani, and different types of curry, including lamb shank, which is really tender. There’s also a bunch of chinese food including dim sum and various noodle dishes to choose from.For the dessert, there’s macrons, cakes, pudding, ice cream, a whole variety to choose from. My favourite was the chocolate balls you can get, they’re not too sweet and really delicious.For its price, I’d say it’s worth it to come on special occasions as it’s all really delicious and there’s a lot of choice.
Food was great and there’s a wide variety of cuisine available. All the staff, including the chefs are super friendly. Really a good place for gathering with friends over nice food and great service.
We were looking for good scones with proper clotted cream and tried Colony high tea set. Priced at $65 per pax, we were served savories in tiffin and sweets buffet style. Also included were mocktails or champagne/ cocktails and coffee or tea. The tiffin savories were interesting combination and I liked the unagi bao. The duck tart was a generous serving.The sweets were unlimited servings. Scones,crepe, ice cream, chocolate, puddings, tarts etc. I find the scones a bit too sweet. They will remove all items at 5.30pm, so be sure to go early. Do ask which credit card offers a discount.The ambiance is lovely here too.
I had a very enjoyable buffet lunch at Colony with friend. I like the environment and atmosphere here, and there is a wide variety of food to choose from. The service staff were kind and friendly. When the waiter knew that it was our first time to dine here, he specially guided and introduced us to where the different foods are served, and recommended which foods are must-try. Highly recommended!
It takes a long time to get seafood, but the food is goodThere is room for improvement in the meal pickup line.There is a dress code.
Table to small for 5 pax. We are sitting which is mend for 4 pax. Attire says smart casual, but seeing guests coming in sleepers and Bermuda’s. Food not that great, tasteless northern Indian food. Not so great for the pricing .
Super satisfying buffet!!! Oysters were sooo huge and fresh, crabs was soooo clean and the service staff ensured there was consistent refills! Salmon sashimi was thickly sliced. Pasta/Risotto was also so tasty and premium. Must make reservation before coming! Will definitely be back for special occasion!
Wonderful experience! Very crowded but everything is in order. Servers are very professional and hardworking. Food quality is top too! Overall, well done.
The go to place for our work Christmas dinner buffet for years. Food is fresh, tastes great and has many choices. Staff are kind and attentive, used plates and cutlery are cleared very fast. I especially love the dessert and Asian spread especially the laksa.Can get a bit noisy, but being as popular as it is I don't think I mind it.
I made reservation thru the operator at Ritz Carlton, she is well aware of credit card promotion👍🏻2 days before my reservation date, I received an sms for me to confirm my reservation, I was impressed by the system requesting for our photo to recognise us; however, this doesn’t seem to work as no one recognised us 😆😅😇Colony did acceed to my request for me to have a cozy corner table in celebration of my birthday; it also has waitress serving all customers seated in the middle of the restaurant. She is Frecel. She is helpful, professional n pleasant 🙏🏼👍🏻She introduced us what are their best dessert when asked; n helped me made request from Chef Andy for the chawanmushi I heard is very tasty but out of stock; Chef Andy said actually chawanmushi is not part of the buffet but he would like to pleased me for it it my birthday, he made 2 for us (see photo), Chef Andy is superb, his chawanmushi is so different from others n so soft with little soup like sharkfin soup, yummy ❤️😄Most of their food are of good quality, eg nuts & crab; however, there isn’t sword fish at sashimi counter, and staff needs to be prompted to top up the empty plate that supposed to contain yellow tail; the oyster flesh is too slim not full :(Colony present mini choc cake w marshmallow at bottom in celebration of my birthday, the cake is so unique, yummy and we just can’t resist though we are already very full. It is really superb 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼😆Am so grateful to both Frecel n Chef Andy who have made my birthday celebration at Colony, Ritz Carlton an unforgettable one, thank you Chef Andy, Frecel n Colony 🫂❤️🫰🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Fresh and delicious food for the price paid. Will visit again next time when we are in Singapore.
As hotel guests of the Ritz-Carlton Singapore, we went here for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The selection from the buffet was very diverse and the dishes were also very high quality. There was even ice cream and karaage, which I thought was really great. The egg dishes were also very well made and the service was very accommodating.
We had to book a few days in advance for a table. The only issue we faced was a short wait for our table. Aside from that, the experience was excellent. The restaurant offered a wide range of food options and the quality was impressive, especially the Indian cuisine, dumplings and the desserts, which were not only numerous but also tasted amazing. The service was outstanding and the restaurant truly deserves its high rating.
We went there for the seafood dinner buffet. The restaurant Manager MD Firdausi and the team lead John at our section were both exceptional. They made us feel very welcome and the service was meticulous. There were abundance of food choices.,we enjoyed the whole experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed the extremely generous Xmas buffet again. Not exactly cheap, but the quality of the food, services and the overall experience always make it worthwhile in the end.
The service is excellence. The selection of food is fantastic. Highly recommended
Went there for wedding anniversary. Food was amazing for a buffet!! Well done Colony!
Great variety of choices from Sashimi, oyster, live catch like Prawn Shell to Chinese style food to bubu cha cha, nyonya desserts, cakes
I love the buffet spread. It has many varieties of food to choose from. The seats were kind of good because we were not too close to others. All the food tastes great! The staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our lunch here on 19 Dec, with wide buffet spread and good quality food. Most of the dishes were nice, except that some of them were too salty for my taste. e.g. the fish soup noodle and the cold snow crab. The nonya kueh is not very nice. The staff, including those at the food stations were very kind and efficient, special thanks to Jack, who was serving at our table and Miss Eliasa who had patiently answered our questions. My sister said that this was the best buffet in her past 40 years, haha!
Excellent service by the Manager & staff on 11th NOV when we hosted our 18pax team lunch at The Colony!!The Buffet spread was spectacular! Highly recommended!
The Xmas menu high tea is not very good. Food abit cold. Bread is dry and cold. Scones not buttery. Maybe can try normal hightea instead of Xmas menu next time. Plates clearing are not very fast too. Next table can stack up 3 plates still not cleared haha. Luckily our table is slightly big,can place at the side. Staff is polite.
Amazing ambience and great selection to choose from for the dinner buffet.
Love colony for a special occasion. Have had brunch here and it was fantastic and tried high tea yesterday which was just as delicious and lavish. Service is absolutely top notch. Definitely worth a stop for a treat, especially during festive season. The fresh seafood selection at brunch is one of my favs in Singapore.
Started my first champagne brunch in The Colony during covid ease-up phase where all food and drinks were served to the table, that wowed me.Moving forward into a couple years where I tried a few other champagne brunches, none came close to The Colony. Hence why we revisited last Sunday for the Christmas festive brunch.Special call out to Rekthish (apology, most likely gotten the spelling wrong), he was a delight in service.Love the variety & quality of the food, champagne & cocktails and impeccable service.
Foods are very good but the fruits areas require lots of improvement. I had very bad experience and ate pineapple which is sour acid and prune that is rotten.
Too noisy, cannot really enjoy. Maybe it is due to festive season. Was told dressing code is casual smart but I saw people with shorts!Service staff are very alert and friendly. They make our day and exceeded our expectation with their quick and attentive service.
Inattentive staffs. Busy fawning after their regular patrons (bringing salad to her personally in a buffet setting?) but my pot of tea has to be reminded twice. What is Ritz Carlton trying to show here.
The atmosphere is great, the waiters are friendly, and the food is pretty good too! Very good value for money!
Upscale buffet, wonderful and quality produce. Just way too packed and I felt I was eating at a market
Breakfast buffet had pretty good food, although some of it was lukewarm or cold (section with fried noodles, veggie stir fry, fried chicken, etc). The restaurant staff in Colony for breakfast were pretty inattentive. They didn't clear our plates fast enough or offer refills. We did two breakfasts there and had to flag people down constantly.
Service was good .Ms Frecel , who served our table made us feel very welcome and at ease with her smile and she was very prompt and attentive. The buffet spread was good . A wide selection though I think they could improve the dessert section with more sponge based cakes rather than mousse based desserts . Cheese selection was very simple .. 3 different selections of cheese only .
Visited the colony for high tea where Firdausi, the assistant colony manager, provided exceptional service, making our stay incredibly welcoming. It was my mother's first high tea experience, and I was eager for it to be perfect, which it thankfully was due to the outstanding service we received. Firdausi went the extra mile, regularly checking on our table, ensuring everything went smoothly and leaving us feeling cared for.From the time we enter the place to the time we left, the food and services were impeccable.I highly recommend anyone who are unsure or trying out high tea for the first time to come, the staff and the assistant colony manager there would make sure your entire experience here is worth
Very disappointed experience. We reserved 30 pax for Christmas lunch back in June, knowing how popular this restaurant can get. No one told us that we need to pay deposit back then, and in our subsequent calls in Nov. Colony decided to cancel the reservation on 3 December with the reason that deposit was not received. What worst was that they sent to the wrong email address which they should have notice the bounced email. And they did not even SMS/call before cancelling the reservation. (they claimed that the called but there was no miss call or SMS)Imagine holding a corporate event and 30 guest reached the venue only to find out that there was no table and have no place for lunch. It's our annual tradition to go back to Colony but I guess it will not happen again.
So many buffet options in Singapore. Colony didn't disappoint and I can see why it receives such high ratings. It's in the Ritz Carlton so as to be expected, is very fancy. Staff were very attentive and friendly catering to anything we needed. We starved ourselves the whole day to get our money worth at dinner. We've been to other buffets in Singapore that have much larger, more expansive food offerings. Colony was much smaller in comparison and was a bit underwhelming at first. The more we looked, there was plenty of options, just smaller displays. This meant that food was turned over quicker, rather than leaving it out on display for ages. The emphasis is on food quality and is definitely noticeable over other buffets. Chilli crab is almost as good as what we had at Jumbo and Holy Crab. The grilled lobster was a highlight for me. I didn't expect too much from a buffet, but the meat was fresh and had a wonderful sweet flavour and texture. I was expecting it to be overcooked and chewy. Have to say that I didn't really enjoy the cakes though. Flavour combinations were a bit unusual for my taste. The salted egg steamed buns that are in the shape of a mushroom are delicious. Also enjoyed the plentiful variety of chocolates. Was also surprised that there wasn't a time limit like other buffets or restaurants. Would recommend for a special occasion.
The food, drinks and service was outstanding. I’d definitely go back again. Fantastic price for the selection of outstanding food and drinks.
Such a great experience at Colony with my boyfriend celebrating my birthday. We are so amazed and pleased with the hospitality and extra mile served. Beng Kuan, the waiter served us with such passion and energy that we are thankful for. He repeatedly asked us if we were doing fine and offered to serve us tea that goes with the birthday cake. Kudos to the team at Colony - My boyfriend casually asked the chef if there was roast beef on the lunch buffet menu and they said it was only served for dinner. And then a while later beef steak appeared on our table?? Amazing service!! We felt so appreciated and were blown away by the thoughtfulness of the chef. Thank you Ritz Carlton!!
Food is okay not particularly great, options a little bit limited. In my opinion, not good value for money.
We are very disappointed with the service team at Colony. Rating it as 0 stars for the service if there is any.We were seated and there wasn’t much customers, however none of the service crew came to serve us. They were just standing around and did not give us the menu until we had to ask for it.When we were given the menu, the staff did not bother to explain to us as well, she just left the menu on our table and went back to standing at her designated spot, looking around. We saw that the other customers were served, except for our table. It felt like we’re being discriminated by Colony’s service team for unknown reasons.Due to the disappointing experience, we left without ordering anything. No one even noticed that we have walked out.Previously when I was there during the dinner buffet, the service was impeccable. I do not understand why is there such a huge contrast in the service for high tea and dinner.I have also wrote in an email to feedback on the unhappy experience and the reply from the assistant manager felt like it was from an email template, very general and doesn’t seem like there would be any service recovery. Would not patronise again, the prices charged were exorbitant and it is not worth the service and attitude that we have experienced.
It was an epic experience, marvelous from beginning to end. Extremely outstanding. The best brunch in town.
Top-tier King crab legs, oysters, and sashimi. All in a pristine setting! What more could you ask for? Value beyond belief. This is a requirement for every future visit of mine to Singapore.
My husband & I was at colony for dinner to wind down after our wedding in the afternoon.One of the staff named Rethish was really amazing & such a great host. He was really funny too. After a short conversation with us. He knew we were celebrating our wedding cum anniversary day there so he came over with champagne for us. A nice gesture which we appreciated.When we were at our last course desserts, the staff came over again, not with a slice but with a WHOLE cake for us. We were both so shocked & appreciative of the hospitality we've received.Ritz Carlton, you're really the best.Along with the most awesome & service-passionate staff. We had such an enjoyable time there. So grateful for that experience on our special day! Thank you so much.
Expensive but worthy of the price.. This was my second visit, with the first over a dinner buffet and this time over champagne high tea.. Coupled with humour from very friendly staff and good company I had, it was a wonderful experience! Thank you!
A huge variety of buffets with high and excellent standards. The restaurant is very luxurious too. High recommendation place to celebrate a special occasion.
All in all fantastic experience and we would highly recommend. Not your usual buffet spread. The quality of food is outstanding and plentiful of choices. All definitely worth a price which we thought it was very fair! Best meal in Singapore for sure. Our waiter Jack was very attentive and polite. We had a Prosecco package with our lunch and it was worth it.Couple of minor minuses :- it’s incredibly busy and loud. But you can understand why, place is very popular.- when we first arrived and we’re shown to our table, we were left for a long while before anyone took interest. The person who ended serving us didn’t know we booked Prosecco package but it was quickly rectified after explaining . Though the initial service could have been better. However from that point everything was brilliant .Highly recommended !
Amazing buffet 🤩🤩 Specialise in seafood and sashimi. Food is AMAZING,staff are very helpful and proactive in helping with guests! Would recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance to secure your table.Best place to come for any occasion.Must try when possible!!!! 👍👍
Wonderful food, service and amazing spread of food at the buffet - really tasty food unlike some of the other buffets - worth going for sure
Excellent service from Dongjin. Very attentive and always smiling … service with style.
Many food variety and selection, from Alaska crab, truffle pasta and roast item. Laksa, fish noodle and good selection for desserts. All fresh and good quality. Service staff very attentive especially the waiter Dong Jin. Goes extra mile to service our table. Really a pleasant experience at the colony buffet!
Fantastic food, amazing ambience. Definitely a place for a special occasion.
Easily one of the best high tea experiences in Singapore from booking to event day. Loved the mix of tingkat savouries and a sweet buffet. We celebrated a birthday and had such an awesome, hassle-free experience. Thanks to the friendly crew for being so effortlessly gracious.
There are a variety of local foods and foods from various countries.The price is reasonable and the intention to visit again is 1000%.Those of you who have been on a trip, trust me and go.You may be thinking, “What kind of trip did you come here to get to a buffet?”, but you won’t regret it.
I had an exceptional experience at the buffet, thanks to Alfian, the manager. His swift service recovery for a minor lapse in service from one of the crew showcased outstanding dedication. The seafood was incredibly fresh, offering a delightful variety that exceeded my expectations. I'm genuinely impressed and will undoubtedly return for future celebrations. The combination of impeccable service and delicious offerings makes this buffet a standout choice. Kudos to the team for turning a small hiccup into a memorable dining experience.
Food is good, service is good, what more can I ask for? Shoutout to Ciya (my apologies if I’ve gotten her name wrong) for her excellent service!
It's a great place for a weekend dinner. The ingredients are fresh, the taste is great, and the variety is suitable for all kinds of people. Thank you! But I hope the service desk can speak Chinese, not just English! 😂😂😂
I sent an email to the Colony on November 8, 2023, but received no response. While recording a video to recommend Colony to my friends, I was disturbed by a chef walking out from the kitchen. He insisted on helping me take pictures of the food despite my numerous refusals, advancing towards me and causing fear. Fortunately, I spotted my boss, walked towards her, and the chef stopped. I left the scene, too afraid to face him. Sharing this unsettling experience with my family and friends, they encouraged me to email Colony management. It was a very distressing encounter, especially unexpected at a prestigious 5-star Ritz-Carlton hotel. I've emailed them to review the CCTV footage and timing. I hope all ladies visiting Colony exercise caution and urge everyone to respect women.
I was there for lunch. Loved the bright interior with natural light coming in. All of the food options looked well presented and those I tried were palatable. Only wish there were more actual cake options for dessert!
Dined November 01, 2023Was really excited to visit this place as I have read and seen many positive reviews on YouTube. It performed high on many levels but honestly failed on the main thing - the food. It was, to be quite blunt, nothing spectacular. The big attraction was the seafood (crabs, oysters, shrimps) but aside from those, was disappointed with all other offerings. Love the orange juice dispenser, salted egg chix wings, and array of desserts. Atmosphere was top notch, though the darkness was a little too much. Appreciate the kid-friendly menu as well. Overall, it was nice to experience Colony but not something I would be clamoring for soon. The $92 ++ price tag hurts a bit too much too for a group of 8 which was my family number. 7.5/10
Best buffet in Singapore. Reservation is a must and might take a month if it’s on the weekends. Price are on the higher end but definitely worth the money based on their varieties. Highly recommended
Being a food lover and enjoys buffet, I had high expectations with The Colony plus considering the reservation takes 3 weeks in-advance I had high expectations. With that said, my expectations fell short in a lot of ways.Food - decent choices but taste is nothing spectacular or memorable. Some decent choices but the flavour feels a hit or miss.Ambience - we went in the evening so I expected it to be dark but it was darker than I thought or maybe because we were seated at the corner but still the lack of lighting eally affected my mood. To improvise I used my phone flash light to see what I was eating.Hallways are tight, especially if someone is choosing his items we kind of needed to navigate around in-order not to bump into other guests.Price - for $130 per head (includes GST and Service), it doesn't justify the food choices but price is relative.
The best buffet dining experience I’ve ever had, way ahead of its Asian, North American and European competition.Set within a beautiful hotel, the dining area was in keeping, with extravagant ceilings and grand decor.Presentation was at its highest level and everywhere was impeccably clean and well maintained despite a busy dinner service.The food, oh my goodness the food. Walking through and exploring the various food sections was an overwhelming sensory experience in itself.It’s clear from the offset that the culinary team here are artists. Each station showed true authenticity and class.The choice and quality was outstanding, every dish on offer was a delight.My mouth still savouring and craving some of the dishes and desserts exclusively created by the talent team at The Colony, leaving a lasting impression on me.Easiest recommendation of my life.
Seafood section is the most popular station with long queue. Oysters and crab legs are replenished quickly and servers are attentive, clears the plates promptly. However I personally prefer roast beef over grilled beef.
Price given is worth of it. Sorry I have to say before Covid is much better and fresher but now still the best compared to others seriously. No need waste money to spend on other hotel buffet already.
Food is good for the price point. Service is wonderful; staff are very helpful and appear very genuine, all without being too intrusive 🙂 location is quite dimly lit which I'm personally not a fan of but no big deal. Book waaaay ahead of time if you're planning to go on Fri - Sun. Went on a Thursday and it was still plenty busy.
Large variety of food and it was all delicious. My colleagues enjoyed our teambuilding lunch very much yesterday. Special mention to Abishek whose service was very good, and was very patient when we had to split the bills among 3 depts. It was also very pleasant having the staff at the sushi station greeting all the guests, saying good afternoon to everyone he met.
Halloween theme buffet was top notch. Great quality food, got to experience finest Singaporean dish with a fun twist, definitely one of a kind.
Top notch. From food to service, definitely 5 star. The service staff is very attentive provide us with lots of wet wipe. Really helps when eating crabs is concerned.
Great place with a cozy atmosphere! Food was fresh and service was superb! Nadine was so attentive and helpful. She was very professional and such a joyful lady who lightened up our evening. We had a great night celebrating our wedding anniversary here 🙂
First time here and was quite impressed with the overall decor of the place, but after all it’s Ritz Carlton so it shouldn’t come as a surprise. I went for the weekday evening buffet session. Overall spread wasn’t a lot of variety but should be sufficient to fill you up. My main attack zone for buffet has always mainly been seafood, sashimi and grilled meat. My compliments to the ribeye, sashimi and the cold crab legs (would recommend doing a hot chilli crab version also). however, the only disappointment was the oysters - its tiny, extremely skinny with no meat and just like a skin covering. ive not had oysters this miserable before. So, for a place of this price point, you really cannot afford to get any dish this wrong. So that’s why I can only give 4/5.
Came here twice to celebrate my husband and father's birthdays. The food and service here are great. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The cold seafood mussels and scallops aren't the freshest, but everything else is great. 😊 Will come back again for the festive menus
Great staff that accommodated our young children aged 5 & 2. All the food was fresh and nice pictures of the food say it all.
The colony was everything we expected and more, we came here for our wedding anniversary and the staff gave us a piece of cake to celebrate, it was definitely a nice surprise. The seafood was very good as the crab legs were fantastic. My partner and I were speaking about our Singapore trip and said to eachother we'd come back to Singapore just to eat here again
Good food with excellent services. No wonder it’s so difficult to book a table there. Worth the wait !
Beautiful place, makes you feel so relaxed the moment you arrive. Ushered to our seats and for the rest of the afternoon, the service staff was fantastic. They were cheerful, attentive, even bothered to make small talk with my 5-month old baby. Afternoon tea was delicious, food was of high standard and quality. Drinks were unique and there was an extensive spread of sweets and pastries at the semi-buffet.They brought out a small cake for our anniversary celebration and that was very kind of them.We were also pleasantly surprised to find out that we get a 10% off with uob/dbs/citibank credit card.Highly recommended! Would love to be back soon! ☺️
Excellent staff and attentive service.Food standard still excellent ! Oysters and prawns are really fresh. Good dessert choices.Well done ! We really enjoyed the dinner buffet.
Best buffet in SG! Almost everything is good. May be expensive but it's worth it if you are looking for a buffet that serves quality & quantity.
It was good but compared to some of the higher end buffets from Vegas I think it falls short. Our favorite dish was the golden coated chicken wings, I ate 4 myself and honestly could eat a whole bucket of that as a meal.
The best buffet around with service from the heart. Special thanks to Chef Sundar and Dongjin who went out of their way to make our table of kids exceptionally comfortable. 5 stars
A lot of variety, good food & wonderful staff! Make sure not to eat lunch if having dinner - there's so much to eat!
Dinner buffet at the Ritz never failed to impress me with their quality and the wide range of food! From fresh oysters, sashimis, laksa with generous amount fresh cockles, dim sums (which hotel offers that for dinner buffet, only at Ritz!! 👍), nans, truffle spaghetti, the list just goes on! The lady who rendered her service to us was excellent!! Highly recommended! Oh if the restaurant can elevate the lights a little brighter that would be impeccable! Please keep up the good work!
The best buffet I had ever eaten at in my life! Would totally recommend this to others. Many selections to choose from and does not disappoint!
Selections for dishes are fantastic. The cold seafood section is good, except the octopus were displayed in a lump. Beef is good. Dimsum not really anything to mention.
The reservations system leaves much to be desired. Despite repeated follow-ups, nobody in the restaurant has bothered to return call even though they promised to do so. I spoke to Christian on the phone and he promised to follow up but nothing was done. Poor poor service. Before actual date already so bad service, I dread to think how their table service will be.Will bring business elsewhere.
From the moment you step foot onto their premise, along the hallway to your intended dining place, the greeting from staff in uniform were warm & friendly.I am talking about quality, not quantity and, they have the best of both world. The display of foods look appetizing & spoiled for choices!I managed to eat a bit of everything, hope they can improve on the popiah which is lacking in flavor in their main turnip & absence of garlic, dried shrimp.Nonetheless, they still deserve 5 stars rating! Will be back for more.
This was my first time at the Sunday brunch since all Covid restrictions were lifted and I was blown away! The quality of the food and the personalized service (especially in a busy restaurant) is always top notch. I can't wait to go back.
Been a regular in colony - the quality control is really the best. Every time I come here - the food, service and ambience are really 5 stars. Some restaurant started really well but standard drop. But I find colony the same high standard year in year out.The food is just so good. You can see the photos of the desserts - all delicately done. My favorite is the hazelnut praline cake - texture of crunch base, soft sponge and ganache. The pandan cake just as good. The chocolate tarts are amazing as well: the ice cream are of real high quality with lots of cookies in the vanilla cookies and cream flavor and chocolate pieces in the chocolate ice cream. These are definitely made by the hotel chefs. Not over the counter types. I usually don’t eat much savory but the savories in colony as usual are super tasty and fresh. I particularly love the oriental section. The food are cooked in small portion and topped up regularly so they are hot crispy and fresh. The prawns are fresh and succulent. The noodles are made to order - very high standard like Al la carte standard.And something about the ambience that really impress me. It’s really good for gathering. It clearly has the best setting in all the buffet I went to. Very classy and conducive.Service prompt and worthy of a 5 stars hotel.After trying out so many hotel buffets, colony remains the best for me. Faultless!This segment is an update of Colony buffet. I managed to geta table for the 2024 CNY themed buffet lunch. It is full house as usual. Booked weeks in advance.Food: excellent as always. Very fine and delicate savory food. I usually do not eat much savory food in buffet but every dish is spot on. The ingredients are fresh. The claypot rice is full of abalones and chinese sausages. The desserts are the best out of all the hotel buffets in Singapore. I always start with desserts in buffet. Colony desserts never disappoint. They looks and taste good. Every item are delicate with varying texture. The food are also very well crafted for CNY theme.Service and ambience: Superb service. The restaurant is decorated very nicely with CNY feel.This is definitely my number one buffet choice in Singapore. Will visit again soon.
Nadine, our server, was wonderful. She keeps a great eye on our table and constantly clear our used plates. Two thumbs up
Seafood buffet spread was great and most importantly, fresh. Service was impeccable. My family had a wonderful dining experience thanks to the staff. Best dinner buffet in SG :)Special thanks to Tin for her great service recovery and going the extra mile for us even though the miscommunication was not the restaurant’s fault.
The dinner buffetThe seafood corner is crowded at first, butAs time passes, it gets quieter.It's nice to have a variety of foods.I wish there was Korean food tooThere are so many different types of breakfast that I couldn’t eat them all.It was really good
amazing ambience, food and most importantly excellent service. special commendation to Mayban for being so friendly and attentive. enjoyed my time here and will definitely be back again. thanks Mayban for making my experience delightful ❤️ also thank you to the pasta chef for the scrumptious pasta 🥰
Excellent service by staffs, chefs were friendly and helpful too. Variety of food choices and I love the ambience there. Will definitely dine at Colony again!
Was not a fan of truffle but ive tasted their truffle risotto.. and now it's my favorite
Not all buffet place have snow crab legs, not forgetting the grilled Boston lobster and lots of seafood and dessert option. Recommended Seafood dinner night on Saturday only. Pricey but worthy.
Buffet restaurant and quality ingredients and preparation. There are international cuisines from India, Vietnam, China, Japan, etc., but that's the Ritz-Carlton. The taste is quite good. The atmosphere is high-end, but the service is casual and comfortable.
So amazing. If I didn’t take the food myself I would never have guessed it was buffet food - the quality was amazing! Especially the Blue Swimmer Crab Aglio that was prepared on the spot. Excellent service, I’ve honestly never had more attentive service staff. And I’d say I’m generally quite nitpicky. Special thanks to Tin, and the other staff that were serving my table/area at 97. They even served us a celebratory chocolate mousse for our anniversary! Best dining experience I’ve had in a long time.
My wife and I together the family enjoyed ourselves on the foods at the Colony celebrating my wife's birthday yesterday for lunch.The Colony uphold their standards providing a wide variety of different cuisine varieties for our visits this few years till date.I do hope in the near future there will be some seasonal surprise variety of dishes awaits for us during our next visit.Keep up the good work for the services and ensuring the food dishes variety are quality with freshness :)We will be back the next time and recommend The Colony.
Been here on a Saturday night. We made the reservation 1 month earlier.The food was good with variety of choices. The queue for crab legs and oyster was the longest at the beginning of the buffet dinner hours. There are free flow of lobsters too.We took additional Prosecco package which was a value for money. We were able to switch from Prosecco to red wine or white wine during the buffet to pair with the food.Service staff were very attentive too. They even sang birthday song and gave us a small birthday cake for our celebration.
On our short trip to Singapore we found the buffet lunch in the Colony one of the memorable moments. The food and service were exceptional and Nadine looked after us so well. Will certainly be recommending this to our friends
Had food poisoning the whole night 🙁 Might be the laksa Cockles because that is the only thing my dinner mates didn’t eat.
