So true about Svenson's, service slips food getting horrid too

oh ya, fully agree. Their service standard seems to be slipping. And now with more ice cream outlets coming up, Swensons may be creamed out... :lol:

So far only the one at Vivo seemed to be holding out ...

UNTIL,

when I went there the last time, they gave me a runny omelette for DS when I specifically asked for one that was well done :x , and they took so long with the orders ... think they are not equipped to deal with crowds lah...

agree .... and not as though their ice-cream is as good as the new players.

I visit the Swenson’s at Parkway quite often and realised that their staff turnover very fast…

Last time mainly PRCs, now young local Malays…

The worser experience for me with swenson is the lack of customer loyalty treatment. No matter how frequent we dine there we are often looked upon as new patrons.


In the end we totally stop going altogether due to its \"ice cold\" treament.
They sell ice cream like selling ice..... *frozen* :lol:

I have good memories of Swenson…used to be my favourite restraurant when I was a child and went to the Funan branch quite a number of times with DS 1 or 2 yrs back.


Service and the food was okay then and DS like getting his free colour pencils and balloon. May be shd check it out again

I have nothing but compliments for Swensens @ Bt Panjang Plaza.


I have been a regular for years there now and the staff even knows
what we like to order. One of the managers there would quip, \"Just
yourself today... time out from the kids?\" .... when i dine alone.
Or, she'll welcome us all and ask, \"The usual booth for you ma'am?\"

She even knows how i like my Grilled Fish Sambal with extra sambal!
It would be served to me hot with all my favourite sauteed veggies
and she'd say, \"One Grill Fish Sambal with extra sambal, just how u
like it, ma'am.. enjoy your meal.\" Thumbs up to all the staff there &
the chef definitely for making it exactly the same each time i come
for my favourites and for the service with a smile.

Even my children and our friends are comfortable there.. now that
is what i call a true family restaurant. They never disappoint!

Kudos you guys! You know who you are... and see you soon. :evil:

Swenson’s service is better when the place is not crowded.

Less waiting time when it's less crowded.
As i am a SAHM, i usually arrive when the
restaurant just opened. Managers
will also have some time to spare to chit
chat with me while waiting for my order
to arrive.

Me too! :love:

Went to the Swensens @ Yishun (Northpoint) when we were dating.
All the staff there remembered our favourite table and we usually get
the same table when we're there... since we could knock off work quite
early back then. The staff even hung out with us when we were looking
through some photographs we just picked up from Kodak like old friends.
They would also recognize us from afar and wave when we bumped into
them outside.

I love Swensens.. :love:

Heyya mintcc.. let's meet up at Swensens next for our ice-cream pig out!
Hahaa! The Coffee Club one we went to at Tiong Bahru was super rich...
too rich to finish hor. :lol:

Another occasion i recall was my first meet up with my now MIL. Hubs
arranged for us to have lunch at the Crowne Plaza outlet for our first
ever meet up. Needless to say, i was freakin' clumsy with my cutlery
of all days.. :roll: .. and hardly got to enjoy my food. She was eye-
balling me head to toe and i was so conscious of how i responded
to all her seemingly profound questions.

Last we went to the Funan outlet was last year's Children's Day. All kiddies get
to eat free with every adult main course. Service was slow despite it being a
weekday, and also after lunch hour. The staff also got two orders wrong and
during bill payment forgot to slash off the rebate from my loyalty points. Sigh.

Very bo chap service and lukewarm response to my bubbly smiley nature.. like
unreciprocated love like dat.. so sad. The food came slower than most waiting
times we have experienced at other outlets, but the food came hot and fresh.
At least that's a consolation.... that the food didn't disappoint.
