I would not go back again as the food and service were not up to my expectation. Dont bother.We (2 of us) arrived at about 8.30 pm last Wednesday without booking, the maitre d' showed us 2 seats at the end of a table which was already occupied by a family of 6. We thought it was too crowded and uncomfortable, he suggested another 2 seats which were squeezed between 2 couples. Not until we indicated that we would rather come again on another date did he show us a more decent table for 2, whic
We (2 of us) arrived at about 8.30 pm last Wednesday without booking, the maitre d' showed us 2 seats at the end of a table which was already occupied by a family of 6. We thought it was too crowded and uncomfortable, he suggested another 2 seats which were squeezed between 2 couples. Not until we indicated that we would rather come again on another date did he show us a more decent table for 2, which was still very small.
Then came the waitress. Once we sat down, the question from her was "how do you like your beef done?" There was no menu!!! no nothing. Then she impatiently explained that its the same set menu that every customer had....salad, steak with french fries. The only choice is how well the steak was cooked. At that point we had no idea how much it was going to cost. Then came the question about drinks. No drinks menu ? Oh yes, if you want to see it was the answer. Thats NOT service.
We ordered 2 set meals. Very soon there came three cut pieces of baguette with one piece of butter for both of us, but only one piece of baguette was warm. Upon complaint, the waitress brought us some warm ones. They were the best of the whole meal.
The walnut salad was a let down. The lettuce leaves were not crispy, it did not look and taste like it was freshly done.
More importantly its the steak. Its about 8 ounce for each portion. We were first served half of it with french fries. The other half was kept warm. After we finished the first helping, the rest was served. The butter sauce was OK with some nutty flavour but the steak was way beyond my expectation. Not only its chewy (done medium rare) it did not have the taste of beef. The only taste came from the sauce. I did not even bother to finish the second helping.
Thats all for the set meal. Coffee and tea cost extra.
The bill came to $800 for 2 which included 2 set menu, a bottle of water and tea and coffee. Not worth it.
