Dropped by Collins at Westgate for a quick dessert and coffee break. I ordered the Dirty Honey Latte, which the menu clearly stated would be served cold – but it came hot without any explanation or option. That was disappointing, especially on a warm day when I was expecting something refreshing.
Tiramisu was available, so I decided to try it. Presentation was nice, but it turned out to be overly sweet and lacked the rich, balanced flavors you'd expect from a good tiramisu. Both the coffee and dessert leaned too heavily on sugar, which overshadowed the finer details.
While Collins isn’t particularly known for its coffee or desserts, I had hoped for a more polished experience. Service and ambiance were fine, but the offerings didn’t quite meet expectations. A solid 3 out of 5.

Quite a nice restaurant with an air-conditioned dining area and a semi-outdoor drinking area. The steak was delicious and prepared according to our request. The burger was very juicy; the bread was toasted to perfection. The only disappointment was the size of the burger - it’s a bit small. It would be great if the size could be slightly bigger!

The restaurant has a high-class ambiance, friendly staff, and affordable prices. The food is delicious, and the comfortable environment makes it a great place for gatherings.

Pretty solid choice with great food! We chose some options from their SG60 offer, and the prices offered really great value for money. Nice ambience and comfortable environment. Be prepared for a long queue during dinner hours, but the queue moves along pretty quickly. Service was great, and we enjoyed ourselves.

Prepare to queue. If you have knee problems like me, it's better to ask a friend to help you queue.
The renovation was pretty nice, with good lighting for Western dining. The staff are helpful if you require their help to take a physical order (rather than QR code ordering). There's a good selection of mains and drinks (including Twinings hot tea, which comes in a small pot).
You have to try their side dish: Brussels sprouts. They were crunchy with a light, sweet sauce that went well with them. No bitterness.
I didn't expect the mixed grill to come exactly like in the menu photo—on a rather large stone platform. It was good for photos, lol! Some may find it difficult to eat from it, but there's nothing you can't resolve if you ask for a side plate.
We had 3 mains, a lychee drink, and a hot tea. The bill came up to just over $100. Joining Collin's as a member is free. All you have to do is download their app and get your account set up. I enrolled as a new member and got 5% off straight away, and the final total was about $98. 👍🏻
I would be back for more. Besides the queuing, I must say I enjoyed the food, ambience, and service a lot.
