This is a review of the fine dining restaurant (downstairs of the more casual cafe which serves the high tea). Eight of us dined there today for lunch. The service, as I remembered from a previous visit, was impeccable. There's attention to every detail and it was almost as if our table had its own dedicated waiter and sommelier. The restaurant is tucked away inside the back corner of the Flower Dome. When you arrive by taxi or car, a chauffeured buggy will carry you to the back door/main entrance of Pollen. Inside the restaurant, the ceiling is low and the space is brightly lit with 100% natural lighting and offers views of the Singapore Flyer and Guests making their way around the outdoor gardens. The furnishings are comfortable and the space is bordered by an indoor planted berm. It reminds me of dining on a really nice outdoor patio. (But remember you're inside the air conditioned flower dome)All eight of us ordered from the three course set lunch menu ($55++) which is considerably cheaper than ordering a la carte. The menu was different than on my first visit, so I suggest visiting the website to see what items you might expect to find. On the set menu, there are three choices for each of the courses (starter, main, dessert). For the main dish, the options were beef, fish or vegetarian. There's a $15 option of adding a glass of wine and a $5 option for non alcoholic beverages.Because the menu changes, I won't comment on the food. All of us had positive remarks on each of our dishes. Whatever you decide to order, you can bet on 3 things:1. The plating and presentation will be flawless. Everything is very beautifully arranged and presented on large oversized white plates or bowls.2. Every morsel will be delicious. (Enough said.)3. The portions will be small. If you sit down with a ravenous appetite, there's a good chance you'll leave a little hungry. No matter the course, when they serve you that enormous oversized white plate with the small beautiful portion of food in the middle, you'll be met with the bitter sweet realization that it will all be over in just 5 or 6 bites. We assume that if you order the same dish a la carte that the portion size will be larger. I am not sure.After the meal, you get complimentary entry into the Flower Dome. Leaving the lower level restaurant, we took the elevator up to exit through the upstairs cafe. The elevator doors opened into the cafe and we were met with bright sunlight, loud families, and the hectic atmosphere of a theme park patio dining area. I say this to point out the difference between the fine dining lower level restaurant and the upstairs cafe. I'm sure the upstairs is also nice, but it's two different experiences.The Good: The atmosphere, food and service. Complimentary entry into the Flower Dome.The Bad: Laughably (gourmet sized) small portions. On our first visit we sat at the table next to the entry into the Flower Dome. The massive aircon units for the Flower Dome must be nearby. There was such a cold draft that we were all MISERABLE. Chilled to the bone. They offer shawls for the ladies. My recommendation is to bring a sweater.The Verdict: I highly recommend Pollen for lunch or dinner. It's an especially nice place to bring out of town visitors. Make a reservation and arrive a little early to take the chauffeured buggy to the restaurant. Leave yourself some time afterwards to stroll through the Flower Dome.
