Celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday here and we had such a great time! The atmosphere was really nice and cozy, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. They even came over to sing a birthday song for her, which made the night extra special. We also got a complimentary dessert — such a sweet touch! Downstairs, there was a live band playing, adding even more to the fun and lively vibe. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we’ll definitely come back again!

Monday Grill Night we ordered 2 Rib eyes and one Wagyu Rump First off was our starters, the salad was fresh, french fries were crispy. The steaks themselves were cooked perfectly to medium rare that we liked. The hospitality was also very welcoming, Tio, Sadha and Enzo who were working that night delivered great service. Can’t wait to revisit the venue again.

We stumbled on this lovely place for a catch up with friends to celebrate birthdays. The service, the food and the atmosphere was right. Reasonable pricing considering we each had two wines/cocktails and all the food below. We would definitely come back.

We visited Regale Restaurant for our anniversary dinner and it was such a memorable night. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly and made us feel special. The food was amazing — fresh ingredients, beautiful plating, and delicious flavors. We ordered several dishes including fresh salad, grilled kingfish with creamy sauce and salmon roe, BBQ pork ribs, grilled king prawn , and a lovely fresh fish with lime buttermilk dressing. Every dish was cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. The cocktails were also creative and well-balanced, especially the one with grapefruit and the one with lychee. For dessert, they surprised us with a cake and candle to celebrate our anniversary, which was a really thoughtful touch. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy yet elegant, with soft lighting and nice background music — perfect for a romantic evening. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely come back. Highly recommend Regale Restaurant for anyone looking for a place with great food, drinks, and service.
