I celebrated my friend's bday at Pausa last night. The place was lively. I have sat at the bar, chef's table. Our food, service were great! Katie took care of us. What impressed me the most was the timing. We did not feel rushed - dishes, drinks, refill appeared perfectly timed. We both look forward to future gatherings at Pausa.

This is a truly gem in the peninsula area with high quality ingredient but affordable price. Some dishes remind me my experience in the Michelin restaurant and I can get the design behind the scene. There though might be defects if you are using traditional way to taste the menu. But it’s a fusion restaurant! I believe the chef will improve along his journey. Overall I highly recommend. Thanks for making our days.
