It's not my first time coming to Bellini. I've always liked their food and atmosphere so I thought I would bring my parents and boyfriend there for a cute, late Sunday lunch. We arrived at 2:30pm and the waitress mumbled something to me which I didn't pay attention to. It didn't sound important because after all, she was mumbling. All I heard was "3 o'clock" so I assumed their last order for the lunch menu stopped at 3...From the moment the waitress sat us down, she already had a horrible attitu
We arrived at 2:30pm and the waitress mumbled something to me which I didn't pay attention to. It didn't sound important because after all, she was mumbling. All I heard was "3 o'clock" so I assumed their last order for the lunch menu stopped at 3...
From the moment the waitress sat us down, she already had a horrible attitude in the way she served/talked to us. I later found out after we finished our food at 3:20 that she actually mumbled "we close at 3" at the beginning. Well, if that was the case, please make sure we all clearly heard and visibly reacted to what was being said. Anyone with an intellectual ability could calculate half an hour is no where near enough for ordering and finishing 4 full lunch sets. Perhaps turning us away upon our arrival would be better than having to deal with her impoliteness and longface. She didn't say "excuse me," "I'm so sorry," or anything once we finished our food... She just basically threw us out.
It's a pity the service was this unpleasant because the food at Bellini is very decent. The waitress' rudeness and lack of professionalism ruined the atmosphere for all of us.
I ordered the duck breast risotto, which came with a lobster soup. I also ordered the foie gras with jelly as an appetizer.
The lobster soup tasted good, but it was too watery for my liking. I wish it was slightly creamier.
The foie gras didn't make my mouth water, because wasn't as rich or smooth as I would have liked. But I did like the foie gras being accompanied with apricot jam. The jam gave it a nice tangy, yet sweet flavour which went very well together with it.
My duck breast risotto was average. It didn't wow me, but it also didn't disappoint me. I didn't like how the duck breast was chopped into pieces as tiny as it was.
The lunch set came with a drink of your choice and a small dessert. I guess I was extra picky since the service put me in a horrid mood. My iced lemon tea was 75% ice, so by the time I drank a quarter of the glass, it tasted like lemon water. The dessert was a small blueberry cake but I couldn't make out if it was a cheese cake. Because if it was... It tasted nothing like it.
Everything was honestly fine except the terrible service from that one waitress. She needs to learn how to be polite.
