Short review: Avoid it all costs. The management has changed, so has the taste and menu. Dont be fooled by the 'Celebrity Chef' tag they have adverised. You will be in for a bad shock! Long review: Going by the reviews, we decided to visit this place for dinner. First warning sign that should have driven me away was the empty place where we were the first customers at 9PM, when all other adjacent eateries were crowded and noisy. The interiors it's classy and very well done and the management has taken pains in ensuring the decor is tastefully done. That's possibly the only positive thing about this cafe. The place is stuffy, kitchen is open and staff belatedly switches on the exhaust only after all the smoke fills the cafe. Coming to the food, the onion rings were good. The Korean sausage that has a lot of reviews is just a cheesy fried thing on a stick, tasting like a pizza topping nothing more. We were in for a shock with the pesto pasta. What we were served was a PALAK PASTA with barely a sniff of pesto in it. The lady at the counter agreed that she thinks it is Palak and apologised saying it's a new management etc and that she will talk to the chef. We expected a response but none was forthcoming. This is cheating customers who probably aren't aware of the difference in taste between Palak and pesto. The Spanish omelette was an equal disaster. Spanish omelette usually have egg and potatoes in it but what we were served was a vegetable omlete(had a lot of good veggies I admit like brocoli, zucchini, capsicum etc) but no potato. On the side was a fried potato with some coating. It almost looked like the egg was only added to hold the veggies together, it was that less. Lastly we also ordered lime soda and another drink. The drinks arrived almost after the whole meal was over 45 mins later. Looks like the guy who makes drinks turned up late to his counter. I don't see how a place like this will survive in such a competitive street with lots of new eateries coming up. Thank you for spoiling my Saturday dinner!
