This has to be the first place we mentioned on this list, why? Because not only that we find them one of the most recommended Asian fusion & Western restaurants in town, they never fail to orchestrate a truly enjoyable and unforgettable night with their splendid band taking requests and guests get in the groove and dance.

Their music choice is rather unique compared to the rest on this list, with acoustic session starts at 6 PM followed by full on rock band at 8 PM. While your ears are being pampered by the music, take our recommendation and try their Rendang, Soft Shell Crab Salad, and for dessert, go with Nutella Deep Fried Ice Cream that guaranteed will satisfy your sweet tooth cravings.
