I went to Agnes B restaurant in CWB last night .... but was totally upset by its food quality and services. I'd suggset you and your friends not to be attracted by the brand name of Agnes B and the media coverage, but do read about the commentaries in Openrice com. I just can't imagine the pan-fried Foie Gras was so bad and when the 4 of us try to share this "little piece" (which costs us $140), we just can't divide it into 4 complete pieces. There are some very strong tissues in the foie gras
I just can't imagine the pan-fried Foie Gras was so bad and when the 4 of us try to share this "little piece" (which costs us $140), we just can't divide it into 4 complete pieces. There are some very strong tissues in the foie gras and when we are able to cut it into 2 pieces, it already melt. Oh.. considering the piece was as big as the size of 2 pieces of sushi. When we complained to the supervisor (i guess a manager wouldn't response it this shit way), he said: "em.. em... maybe we can give you a knife for cutting beef .... is that ok?" My god.... if this happens in an authentic French restaurant, he should take back the dish and check the quality with the chef. And have someone explained to me where and what brand of foie gras they are using. But this supervisor just walked away without apology.
The crepe with ham, cheese and egg is bad, it's just like the Chinese crepe offered in Chinese restaurants but it priced at $108. It's really like the egg and ham you have for sandwiches in the morning at cafe de coral or maxims. But it's not parma ham at all.
The cockerel (chicken) is bad too, it has been cooked too much and it's small too (that's what the girls said).
What impressed us are the Mussels (500g) with white wine and cream sauce, the pistachio souffle and apple tart. I guess it's just a restaurant for cakes and dessert.
Talking about the services, you just can't imagine the tables are so small and the 4 of us has to share a small table which is usually for 2. The servers are not professionally at all, they are lacking the business mindset and would understand the "Journey to excellence". They do not have the product knowledge and fail to recommend dishes. When we finished our main courses, they cleaned up the table... and gone. Are they supposed to "remind" us to round up our dinner with dessert? Even the maxim restaurant would do that, but an authentic French restaurant forgot about this??
Just tell your friends not to go there!
