VERDICT:
I must say that the Chef and his team really puts in a lot of effort into food taste and presentation. It was a pleasant and tasty experience with the taste of summer in most of its dishes. Food spread is good enough to make you feel satisfied. However there is still room for improvement for the dessert menu. Overall, a great visit to Esora.
