Agreed. In fact, that concept is already implemented in other Hyatt Hotel F&B set-ups, e.g. Grand Hyatt Singapore’s Mezza9 and Grand Hyatt Beijing’s Made in China more than a decade ago. Since Andaz is part of the Hyatt Hotel group, I wonder what brought about this restrictive approach at the 5-month-old Alley on 25. It unnecessarily compelled us to decide which type of concept for our dinner, and that all our dining companions share the same choice.
Anyway, it’s relatively new, so the concept probably bodes some tweaking in due time.
