Lining upArrived at 11:45am and saw a huge line of hungry eaters (~around 25-30 people ahead of me) outside of Jamie's Italian. At 12 sharp, the line moved an inch. 10 minutes later, mom and I were queuing inside of the entrance of the restaurant. At 12:15, we were finally inside the restaurant, waiting again...This time we were given a clicker which vibrates when our table is ready. Got seated at 12:20. I looked around and there were plenty of empty seats in the restaurant. That frustrate

I looked around and there were plenty of empty seats in the restaurant. That frustrated me a little because they could've let more people in, instead of having people wait outside getting dehydrated and dying from the heat. There were enough staff, and there were actually staff who was strolling around doing nothing!
The food
Here's the interesting part. We ordered 2 starters, one pasta, and one seafood stew.
Starter #1: crab & avacado bruschetta
Mom and I tried to split the brushetta by cutting it, but we failed miserably because the bread was incredibly hard. So we used our hands to break it half. First bite was a work out for my teeth because the bread was as hard as rock. I felt the sting of my front teeth when I wasstruggling with my first bite. Note to self, never ever bring my grandparents or people with weak teeth here, at least not for this dish. After a long struggle, I was able to actually taste the bruschetta. The overall taste was fresh and light, however considering the fact that this dish was being served at Jamie's restaurant, I would say it is nothing impressive but mediocre.
I asked the server whether the bread was intended to be that hard and he said yes. So...good luck with not pulling your teeth out.
Starter #2: Orange, Fennel salad
Again, nothing impressive. A very simple dish - so simple that anyone with hands couldmake. They tossed the fennel (not very nicely chopped, some pieces are too big), 'beautiful' orange and creamy bocconcini. Orange was nice and sweet. Dish was light and fresh. Pasta #1: Fresh crab spaghettini
The spahettini itself was very fresh as promised. The overall taste was mediocre... I don't know if the crab is fresh or not, but mom says it tastes like it came right from the can. Seafood stew
The seafood stew was alright. There were a handful of salmon and cod, and probably a few pieces of clams and mussels. The tomato sauce was rich, with a kick of spice (which I liked). There might be foodies out there disagreeing with this review. I might have ordered the wrong food, but I wasn't impressed at all by the food that entered into my belly today. Sorry Jamie, Jamie's Italian didn't live up to the hype
