Sky-high Nikkei with stellar views, creative plates, and polished service on good nights; value skews to ambience, with occasional service lapses and pacing issues.
FLNT delivers a celebratory rooftop experience anchored by exceptional panoramic skyline views and strong food quality in its contemporary Nikkei lineup—miso cod and ceviches shine consistently. However, inconsistent execution on proteins and desserts alongside occasional service pacing delays on busy nights prevent grade A territory. The price reflects the perch as much as the plate, making it a solid choice for special occasions when views matter as much as cuisine.
High above Orchard, FLNT feels sleek and celebratory, with sprawling skyline views that steal the first gasp. Service often shines with warm touches—think surprise cakes and thoughtful tea refills—while guests describe the room as lively but polished. One diner put it simply: "The view made the night, and the team made it special." However, there are some review authenticity concerns - some review patterns are consistent with solicited or influenced feedback. In the kitchen, Japanese technique meets Peruvian brightness for a contemporary Nikkei lineup: miso cod with herbaceous kick, citrusy ceviches, and foie gras tacos. On a good night the fusion feels seamless and satisfying; on off nights, a steak might run sweet or a course arrives late. If you come for the views and creative plates, you will likely leave happy—just know the price reflects the perch as much as the plate. Families do fine here, especially window-loving kids who adore the panorama. The menu skews adventurous—ceviche, aji amarillo, miso cod—yet there are friendlier picks like hamburg rice bowls, ramen, tempura don, and simple grilled veg. No dedicated kids menu observed, so picky eaters may prefer the simpler donburi or hamburg.
