I had an unusual experience at Green Grotto. I need to provide some context.
My friend and I were going to Cavalia on a Friday night. The show started at 19:30. We needed a place to grab a bite before the show. She recommended coming here. I was game.
I picked her up from her workplace at 17:00 and we headed over.
This eatery is in the same plaza as Winners. I already knew that I would be coming back. I parked and we walked in.
It wasn't too busy, but we had to wait for a table to be cleaned off. We sat in the waiting area and admired the coziness of the place. There were books and magazines that seemed like a decent place to hang out.
While sitting there, I checked in on Yelp. Our table was ready, so we moved over there.
The menu is in a magazine format, which was creative and cool. We got complementary popcorn as we figured out what we wanted to order.
One of the staff members asked if one of us was Mary. I said that I was. He got an "urgent call" for me on the eatery's phone. That was odd, as only my friend and I knew that I was here.
I took the call. Some guy, who wasn't articulate, said that that he was a manager who had to "cancel [my] membership." I asked him I repeat and clarify. He tried, but was incoherent?. I then ended the call and handed the cordless receiver to the staff person.
My word of caution pertains to checking in on Yelp at this location. Obviously, this person had nothing better to do but take a look at check-ins, call this location, and waste my time.
Anyway, my friend and I ordered the salt and pepper chicken (we opted to have it without rice), and Taiwanese fried rice noodles. We had wanted some other noodle dish, but the place was out of it.
As for drinks, I went with an iced mango green tea with tapioca. My friend had requested a drink that was also unavailable and went with an iced matcha drink with jelly. I liked my drink. It was refreshing and yummy. She enjoyed herself, too.
We both loved the salt and pepper chicken. Delicious! The fried rice noodles were different. It was okay in my books. It wasn't horrible, but it didn't wow me.
For dessert, I wanted to give the tiramisu dessert a try. Guess what? It was unavailable. See a trend? My friend and I ordered the matcha crepe cake and chocolate truffle cake. We then attempted to use a knife to split them. Thank goodness we aren't surgeons!
Both desserts were amazing! Two thumbs up from me.
I love the cozy atmosphere of this place. Washrooms are clean. My friend had a rewards card. I don't know how it works here, but it's an app. You can definitely do takeout for all your bubble tea and food needs. Just be cautious about checking in.
