Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience.
We ordered the lunch package, which included an alcoholic beverage. We politely asked if this could be replaced with water or juice as we didn’t want alcohol, but were told it wasn’t possible and were forced to take it anyway.
Service was extremely slow and lacked initiative. When we asked for gloves to eat our chicken wings, the waitress disappeared for several minutes, returned empty-handed saying only black gloves were available, then left again and came back much later with regular gloves. Simple requests took far too long.
The food quality was poor across the board. The mashed potatoes were hard and grainy and more like low quality pounded yam, nothing like mashed potatoes should be. The salmon was extremely dry, overcooked, and inconsistent in temperature. After waiting nearly two hours for our meals, another plate arrived two minutes later with the explanation that “the chef insisted,” which was frustrating rather than reassuring. The chips tasted fishy and were soaked in oil. The braised beef barbecue was cold and appeared to be plain beef drowned in bottled Heinz’s barbecue sauce. The pasta portion was shockingly small considering the long wait time and poor quality. The chicken wings were the only thing we somewhat enjoyed, though even those were average.
Due to the experience, we asked to pay only for the items we actually ate. A staff member wearing AirPods while working came to ask what was wrong, but instead of listening, she argued that the service was good. After prolonged discussion, they eventually agreed to let us pay for what we consumed, yet still included the alcoholic drinks we never wanted.
It took another 30 minutes just to receive the bill. After we paid, the same staff member returned saying she had forgotten to add the pasta to the receipt. Shortly after, we were accused of taking an eyeliner from the restroom, which was extremely unprofessional and upsetting. At that point, we decided to leave out of frustration. Only then did the manager appear and chase us outside demanding payment for the pasta.
Overall, the service was unprofessional, the food was below standard, and the entire experience was stressful. I would not recommend this restaurant.
Absolutely love the atmosphere, so calm and elegant. Music was soft and sonorous, and the staff were so cautious, helpful and highly knowledgeable about the menu.
Food tasty okay… not awesome, and definitely not at part with the price point.
Milkshake was also just okay.
Most ideal for date night, casual meeting and intimate gatherings.
Parking is quite limited.
Wheelchair accessibility can be improved.
Overall 7/10 experience, not bad AT ALL.
First off why are their menu booklet so big . It was uncomfortable to hold and did not even have the item prices on it. I had to scan the QR code and check from my phone (this allowed me see the meal prices as well).
Don’t like the sitting arrangements here as well. The tables are so close together that you won’t have to invite the person on the next table to join in the conversation even if you are speaking in low tones. I get that they are trying to utilize the space they have but I would very much like to have a conversation without the person on the next table hearing all I have to say.
My advice, skip the appetizer. The meal portions are good enough to not need an appetizer, you might just end up packing the rest to go. Which is not a bad idea if you don’t mind.
I hated the dumplings 👎🏽 the presentation was worse than the taste.
Dear slice, spring onions are meant to be a garnish not a whole salad, because tel me why I had to dig through spring onions and a bath tub of chilli sauce (that wasn’t even spicy enough) to get to that god forbid dumpling.
It was like eating rice paper stuffed with protein. It wasn’t even shaped like a regular dumpling, looking like flattened spring rolls. It was very bland. I know dumplings aren’t supposed to be overly seasoned but why does it taste like I’m eating meat and paper. Do better please.
Now to the good part.
Slice has amazing cocktails and mock-tails. Plus the names are hilarious.
The “cum with me” is a sweet drink with hints of coconut, pineapple and lime juice
The I’ve got my mojo is also sweet but stronger and smoky with a sourish aftertaste.
The Mojito passion fruit was also sweet. I liked the twist.
For a stronger drink the Macallan rob roy was perfect.
Favour, one of the waitresses helped making picking items from their menu easier. She answered all questions I had and explained certain meals on the menu to the best of her knowledge. Amazing human.
The plum and blackberry sauce for the grilled duck breast with black berry vermouth is really sweet. I liked it with the duck and the sweet potato mash.
The sweet potato mash wasn’t as sweet as I thought it would be with was good. It had a nice herby taste to it. Adding a bit of black pepper to it made me enjoy it more
The herb seared salmon fillet also tasted really good, it was not over cooked and still had the nice pink inside.
The bathroom was clean and they have clean hand towels to wipe your hands after washing them, then a basket under the sink to toss the used towel into. Not sure I noticed a hand dryer.
The nature theme they have going on is nice, it gives the whole space an airy, natural vibe.
There’s space outside the restaurant for about 4 or 5 cars, so I’m guessing extra cars might have to park on the road.
Overall it was an 7.9/10 experience for me with the pros outweighing the cons.

2 months agoThe food was good. Three of us paid almost N300k so it's quite steep. Hold your coins. I felt it could have been better lit.
