    The service was quite bad, where we literally had to get up from our table to go request for the support - yet the restaurant/bar itself was quite empty (circa only three other tables). When wanting to chemge tables too, we literally ended up getting ourselves another one on our own as the waiters really seemed uninterested to help or assist. The bar is worth going for the view, however the service was quite abysmal.

    Morning! We did not have a meal at Alto as we were only up there to toast our son with a glass of champagne for his birthday and to enjoy the views and sunset. We proceeded to Aurum for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and wld definitely recommend Alto to family and friends. Have a wonderful day.
