| - The Food and The Drinks:
At first, I decided to order the mushroom pasta, but after my friend told me that the mushroom flavour is extremely strong and the sauce a bit heavy, I decided against it, because if even she, a mushroom lover, thought it was overpowering, then I wasn't going to take my chances. After looking at the menu again, I decided to listen to my other friend and settled on the Hamburger al Gusto. Apparently, it's their specialty and boy am I glad that I listened to him. Whenever I go for a burger now, this will be the burger that all other burgers will be compared to. However, the fries that accompanied the burger was only ok. My mushroom-loving-friend ordered the mushroom pizza and really enjoyed that.
The Peroni was quite good and a pretty good deal at $6 for 335ml. Like a lot of others have mentioned, the house white wine is also very good and was only $1 per ounce.
The Place:
We sat on the patio and it was really nice. Yes, it's a bit cramped, but we navigated around just perfectly. The staircase was very dark though and could do with a bit more lighting. It was a bit scary going up and down then stairs. One thing to note: the bathrooms are unisex so don't be surprised if you find a member of the opposite sex opening the door to a bathroom stall or washing their hands next to you.
The service:
The service was pretty good. Nothing to rave or complain about.
The Verdict:
This was a great restaurant to chill with friends. It was a bit noisy, but not overwhelmingly so. It's not the cheapest place for a burger so I'm not going to be going there all the time, but when I'm craving that hamburger again, I'd definitely be making a beeline to Gusto 101.
