Uplifting Festive Flavours & a stunning Wagyu Steak at Gary’s Restaurant 

I maintain that the most interesting restaurant set-ups can only be found at the most arbitrary of locales which elude the public with a certain twinge of inaccessibility — after all, real estate is a disproportionately exorbitant luxury in Singapore’s F&B scene.
