Special thanks to The Wembley for extending this food review invitation.
Lobby Lounge is one of the two eateries in The Wembley that are directly managed by the hotel; the other is Wembley Cafe. Lobby Lounge serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as light snacks such as cakes.
The atmosphere here is pleasant indeed. Cozy chairs and couches afford an excellent setting for customers to relax and hang out with others. There is even a small room for patrons who need more privacy.
For people who cannot get through a day without caffeine, Lobby Lounge serves espresso-based coffee like Cappuccino (RM12.00). The choice of coffee beans is commendable. The drink comes with a couple of chocolate cookies.
Chocolate Fudge (RM12.00) is well received even by hotel staff members. The cake is especially appealing if you appreciate the rich taste of cocoa. Other cakes today are Opera Cake, Red Velvet Cake and Marble Cheesecake. Fruit Tarts and Chocolate Tarts are available too.
Prepared in a drink mixer, Iced Green Tea (RM19.00) is made of milk, ice cubes and a spoonful of premium matcha powder. The soothing aroma of green tea certainly calms the mind. The drink is served in a Hurricane glass.
Long Island Tea (RM29.00) is an alcoholic beverage concocted from 5 liquors (gin, rum, vodka, tequila and triple sec) and a splash of cola. The drink was thought to be invented in Long Island, New York in the 1970s. Contrary to popular belief, this cocktail does not contain tea.
Lobby Lounge is open to in-house guests and walk-in customers. The tranquil ambience here makes it a family-friendly place. However if you prefer a livelier atmosphere to spend the evening, DSRT Sky Room on Level 31 is where you should be.
