Ah the big deal with Drake and Susur...
Ok so this post is late. Came here the first week it opened.
Maybe they had a few stuff to iron out so not sure if it has improved.
I have to say the food is why there are even stars on this post.
From what we had it was delish.
But right from the get-go - wholly confusing.
Our waiter, though a bit awkward explained to us the whole TAPAS idea.
'But it wasnt like regular Tapas. It was larger in portions.
So it didnt matter what section you ordered from it was all tapas.
Since there were 3 of us he suggested 4 tapas.'
He came back and re-iterated TAPAS. Ok already.
But then said so for 3 of us 5-6 dishes would suffice.
Wait. You said 4. No, the dishes are kinda small. Wait. You said larger than regular tapas.
Im confused.
We decided on 3 appys and a main pasta dish.
Sooooooo basically when the sizes came in the apps were app size and the main was a main size all for one.
The waiter looked like he was running around with his head cut off yet we had to keep calling him over because he seemed to be running back and forth with none of our dishes in hand nor water refills.
Got here at 8 was served the main by 10pm.
All this "Tapas" confusion and one of us still pretty hungry and now sleepy at this point.
My friend had to say something to the manager.
Twas a bit riddonkulous.
Final note:
We could have done fine without all the tapas nonsense. Its just a regular menu size. Use it like one.
Yummy dishes. And I know Susurs dishes are delish but 35$ for the pasta regular size - I duno about that. I guess at that point with all the confusion it didnt seem worth all the effort.
They were nice enough to dock that dish off our tab. So cudos to the manager for trying to manage a frustrating night. Waiter def needs a lot of work - maybe it was a bad night, or maybe he was misinformed himself with the tapas stuff.
Stop with the tapas, please, if I hear that word one more time...... Dont pretend you're something you are'nt.
