Our take: Ida's Event Space, nestled within the lush Gillman Barracks, consistently receives praise for its unique ambiance, often described as an escape from Singapore, evoking a 'holiday island mood.' We note the strong emphasis on an idyllic, rustic, and nature-embracing feel, complemented by vibrant Caribbean music and thoughtful decor.
The cocktails are highlighted for their unique and floral themes, with staff demonstrating good knowledge of the offerings.
Food-wise, the Iberico Pork is frequently singled out for its 'meaty sweetness with char' and 'juicy good bite,' while the Potato Gnocchi and Semi Freddo Doughnut also receive specific commendation for their innovative twists and complex flavours.
However, we observe a significant point of contention regarding pricing, particularly for beverages like water and iced tea, which some patrons found exorbitant and lacking in value.
While the service is generally lauded as warm and friendly, the basic nature of the food menu, despite being good, has been noted as an area for potential improvement, with suggestions for rotating promotions or sharing platters.
We think this is a destination for those prioritising atmosphere and unique cocktails, but be mindful of beverage costs.
