Service was bad and the food was okay at best. Small portion sizes for the price and the duck and waffles left a lot to be desired. It was half a waffle and the duck was dry. I also did not enjoy the full English breakfast or the sticky chicken lollipops. A friend did order the twice fried crispy chicken wings which were good although the cornbread was also dry. Overall, we definitely will not be back (for brunch at least).

Service: 0/5 The waiter that first attended to us seriously needs retraining. Terrible attitude and service for a place like Pavilion.Food: 2/5- Bland, too much oil, small portions. No value for money.Ambience: 4/5 - Great location, very Artsy, DJ on duty was the bomb. Shout out to DJ SwaggsI had a terrible experience at the restaurant. Was excited to have Sunday Brunch and the attitude of the wait staff completely ruined by experience. I was told by the waitress that the champagne brunch came with “mimosas”. Ordered and what came wasn’t that. I was served a grenadine, champagne, orange juice concoction. I asked for a mimosa without grenadine and the waitress was extremely rude. Asked to speak to the bartender before another waiter brought the mimosa(one part champagne, one part orange juice). Thankfully another waiter attended to us the rest of our visit but needless to say that encounter put me completely off. Was hoping the food would turn things around but sadly it didn’t.

Lovely ambience, the parking space will be choked if there’s a full house though. We ordered our meals and they came out delicious but for the amount, I don’t think it was filling. Lol. Please add more spoons. The outdoor eating is beautiful but they have to find a solution to the flies disturbing our meals. In all, it was a good experience and I don’t mind visiting again to try other dishes on the menu

They have a breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner menu. As a first timer there, I arrived there hungry and expecting to get a whole sumptuous meal but to my disappointment, I had to go with the brunch menu. The burger was delicious and kinda satisfied my hunger pushed down with Chapman. I like the greenery. Rest rooms were clean and even had hand lotions which was its first for me see that in a rest room so I was impressed. Its family friendly 🙂.

I love the food ! The messy waffles was mind blowing really. My issue was with the service. The waiters were not readily available when I needed their service and even when I was answered, they took a lot of time to sort out my issue.Kudos to the chef

The pavilion was very cute and cozy. On the downside the Mac and cheese was tasteless , the salad was mediocre , and the service was snail’s pace slow. These are things they can be fixed so I wouldn’t suggest giving up on them just yet !

Nice and cosy location for relaxation or business meeting. The place is serene yet not too far to the city centre. Limited food option and slightly spicy depending on your taste. Overall great place for a short stay.

I followed my friend to the restaurant, and we shared a 3-course meal for MasterCard restaurant week. The waiter didnt clear the table after the previous guests. The service was supee slow. The appetizers were great - the yakitori chicy skewers were excellent. The jambalaya, the main course was disappointing. The desert was good though. A bit too much sugar for my in brownie, otherwise it was good.The waiters kept bringing the food without cutlery which was strange.For the price, I think I just expected a lot more -service wise and portion-wise (the portions were really small).

Pavilion was a mix of experiences. We booked ahead but the person at the other need of the phone didn’t log it in so it was a rude shock to get there with 10 kids and 6 adults and have to wait around as they tried to sort it out for over 30 minutesSome dishes were quite nice. I’d recommend the plantain tacos with the asun filling. And for kids, the mini burgers and waffles with extra orders of friesService was about the slowest and most confused I’d seen in a while. I hear that may not be the norm but on a day when we had kids it really rankled. We had to sit outside under trees. Sort of like a picnic but with proper chairs. It would have been really nice if they didn’t keep forgetting stuff like the right amount of cutlery, water, right number of glasses for the group and much morePricing isn’t on the cheap or moderate side so I expect more. I’m looking forward to going back alone or with just a few adults and I hope that makes a difference. I know certain places don’t work as well for kids unless they’re set up to

The Pavillion is a restaurant located at Asokoro which offers Intercontinental and Nigerian cuisine.So what do we think:ENVIRONMENTThis place is quite unique because it is located in an Art Gallery. This gives you the option to view art before you dine. Also, the restaurant itself features an interesting mural. It is an open plan space which is great for groups and informal dates however parking is a bit of a struggle. The best time to come here is in the early evening as the sun sets.SERVICEService was quite good. The waiter, Segun was very courteous and even recommended a dish which we eventually had and enjoyed. He also asked whether we would like our food and drinks to arrive at the same time. He highlighted that certain dishes had different cook times and must be served first. Our food took about 20 minutes, the Jerk bowl took about 30 minutes to arrive.FOODWe opted for the Jerk bowl, Crispy chicken salad, Ofada rice, West African Jambalaya and Short rib Mac and Cheese. The salad was actually great, the crispy chicken paired nicely with the honey and sriracha dressing which we liked. The Jambalaya is quite similar to jollof rice, it had chunks of shrimps, sausage and chicken. It was a really good dish. The short rib mac and cheese was a bowl of cheesy goodness however we wished that there was more beef. The Jerk Bowl was quite decent, the jerk chicken was tasty and plantains were that nice dodo however the rice was dry and needed some kind of sauce. If youre getting the bowl, get their chilli sauce on the side. Also, instead of a mango salsa, the bowl came with a pineapple salsa. Finally, the ofada rice was another good dish which we enjoyed. The sauce had assorted meat and it was served in banana leaves.PRICINGPricing here is quite fair. The food ranges from about 800 to 7800 naira. Jerk bowl was 3800, Mac and Cheese was 4200, Ofada rice was 2800, Salad was 3000 and Jambalaya was 3500 naira. Check their menu on their Instagram.

Beautifully hidden spot. I love these type of treasures. Unfortunately friends and I all complained about the cocktails. They were quite miserly with the alcohol. The orders took a while to get here. Also, if youre coming here during raining season, please bring a bug repellant. Lol

Very bad service, very slow,expensiveThis restaurant gives the hotel breakfast and they write extra for the bread and even the water.most importantly, they add an extra to the room price by saying Black market arte, even though I made a reservation from looking.com.I will never come again and I will do anything so that whoever comes does not stay here.it was a very bad experience.
