I only have great things to say about The Ternary! I'm just going to jump right into the service. We received outstanding hospitality and service from Ella! My mum and I were out to dinner, we were enjoying our time, enjoying the view and the food and Ella was super attentive the whole time. Checking in occasionally to see how we were going with food, refilled our glasses of water if needed. Superb!As for the food, I would actually say the highlight were the entrees. We had the kingfish and the truffle mushroom, all the ingredients used were so fresh and the flavours married so well together. For mains we each had a cut of steak and it was okay, it was presented well on the plate and had like a stacked potato gratin, steamed greens with it that weren't really my favourite (call me basic but I think I would've preferred creamy mash).And finally the highlight was when we got our dessert brought out. Now the dessert itself was good but it was our waitress, Ella, who made it super special! She came out with a surprise slice of chocolate cake which said "Ladies Night" written in chocolate on the plate, turning an already amazing night to one we won't forget. She even did a double surprise and dropped a little chocolate when we got our bill. Ella deserves a raise! - Christine Cruz
