Summit Grill and Sky Bar Menlyn

Seriously amazing views for an evening night out. Definitely a beautiful place with a relaxed yet somewhat posh atmosphere.

We went as a group but from some of the meals I can easily say that food is not necessarily their forte.

I had ordered oysters as a starter and it tasted great but it ended up resembling mince meat because I was given the incorrect cutlery. According to the manager on duty, they had a function during the week and haven’t managed to bring the cutlery back from upstairs at that point. I had to use a regular fork for my dainty oysters hence it got ripped to shreds as I attempted to remove it from the shell.

The mussels were tasty but the sauce that it was made in tasted as though it came from a packet and real cream hadn’t been used to make it. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to others for that price.

The penne drenched in canned tomato juice wasn’t a hit either.

My sister had ordered rib eye steak which is a beautiful cut of meat which is meant to be sliced through like butter. The whole table had a go with different steak knives that were provided with their meal and it honestly was the joke of the evening. I even gave it a try thinking that everyone was exaggerating but I was unfortunately surprised that that was not the case.

The manager did however remove it from the bill which was highly appreciated.

Otherwise, the staff were friendly and helpful and the vibe is great. I’d rather think of this as a drinking spot rather than an actual restaurant.

Service is below average. Waiters take too long to serve. Food takes forever to arrive. Save yourself on the Garlic snails but the sauce was good. Very LOUD!

The food was ok, the structural layout of the restaurant was nice. I am not too sure about the presentation of the meals and the service of the waiters.

This upmarket restaurant needs to reposition its offering and ensure quality waiting staffs to retain premium clients.

Summit Grill has a nice vibe. We sat on the upper deck bar. It wasn't as packed as usual so we were able to find a place to sit. The lighting by our table was so bad, we had to use our phone flashlights to see the menu.
Our waiter, Michael, was an absolute gem. He really took good care of us.
The food wasn't so great. The sauce in the penne arrabiata tasted like canned tomato paste warmed up, the penne was not al dente, it was basically raw and bland. The beef in the Mediterranean beef pasta was bland, but the sauce and pasta was delicious. In the ribs and wings combo, the ribs were done to perfection, divine; but the peri-peri wings were bland and hot. The steak with mushroom sauce was magnificent. The steak was a nice medium rare. The platter for 2 was ok.
Overall, it wasn't a complete waste, I would go again for drinks and vibes.

Side note: try their Summit Speedrail cocktail. It's top tier.

Love the joint. Very nice to go with family or friends. It's a nice spot to hang, I also love that they have different floors for different crowds.

Great ambiance, good food and drinks, great for sundowners with friends and family. Had a hearty breakfast for my birthday. Children are allowed on the first floor.
