The short answer
The Cliff, Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa: what visitors should know first
Choose The Cliff for a scenic, unhurried Italian meal on Sentosa, ideally at sunset or the weekend brunch. It is a meat-and-seafood menu with no vegetarian dishes listed on the hotel page, so vegetarians should ask first, and check it is open on your dates.
History and context
The story behind The Cliff, Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa
The Cliff sits inside the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa on Bukit Manis Road. Older guides give the hotel other names (one lists it as The Sentosa Resort, another as the Beaufort Hotel), but all give the same Bukit Manis Road address. We did not verify when the restaurant opened.

Why it matters
Why The Cliff, Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa is worth your time
Sentosa's dining is mostly theme-park food courts and beach bars. The Cliff is one of the few places on the island where the point is the setting: a hillside hotel terrace looking out to sea, away from the crowds around Resorts World.
That makes it a good choice for an anniversary or a family celebration, and it is named by several guides we opened (Wikivoyage, a Sentosa restaurant roundup and a Singapore guide site) as a place to eat on the island. It is not an Indian or vegetarian option, so it suits mixed families who are comfortable ordering fish, pasta or cheese-based dishes, rather than strict vegetarians.

How to experience it
The Cliff is the Italian restaurant of Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa, at 2 Bukit Manis Road. The hotel's page describes southern Italian cooking and an outdoor setting with sea views over the South China Sea. It lists lunch on weekdays, a daily Sunset Aperitivo from 17:00 to 19:00, dinner daily, and a family-style semi-buffet brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 to 15:00, with canapes, a soup of the day, desserts and a main course of your choice.
For a family with older relatives, the weekend brunch is the easiest format because the buffet part lets everyone pick what they like, and a seated main follows. The hotel page also says brunch guests get pool access from 15:00 to 19:00, which is useful if children are along. The menu has changed through the year; the page named monthly specials such as lamb pappardelle and braised short rib, so expect meat and seafood to lead.
The hotel page does not mention any vegetarian dishes, and nothing there says the kitchen can omit onion or garlic. Vegetarian and Jain guests should write or call ahead, rather than assuming a meat-free plate will be available on the day. Prices on the page are quoted with service charge and tax added (the ++ sign), so budget above the headline figure.
