Pool Grill beckons diners with its welcoming al fresco setting and idyllic location by the pool of the Marriott Singapore Tang Plaza. Classy but not stuffy, this restaurant will to appeal to those who want casual sophistication. During the day, the bright and cheery atmosphere allows for a leisurely lunch. When night falls, the setting becomes more intimate, ideal for a romantic dinner against the shimmering lights of Orchard Road.

The menu here is decidedly Western, with a range of appetisers, grilled items, pastas and main courses. A noteworthy way to kick off the meal is with the Caesar salad, prepared and served tableside. The kitchen also does a mean seared lamb loin with sides of pâté, mushroom duxelle and fried pastry.

Always save space for desserts here, especially the baked Alaska that is flambéed at the table. When the flames die down, dig into raspberry and vanilla ice cream topped with the brandy-infused meringue.
