I went with my BFF to try out Bent. When we arrived at 6pm on a Wednesday, there was plenty of space.. by 6:30 however, the place was rammed. Being a new restaurant, I figured I would break down the details:
ATMOSPHERE
- I personally love the feel of Bent. The trinkets on the wall remind me of my youth. The white tiles are sleek and give an overall clean feeling and the wood tables are beautiful.
SUPPORT
- The wait staff was fantastic. They suggested dishes to try and were always on top of making sure you were never waiting for anything, not matter how busy. When we had a random question (about them being on twitter), the guy went away and came back within minutes with an answer.
FOOD
-The BEST part of the experience was the food. We tried the Oysters, the cheese and orange pastry, the duck confit salad, the short ribs and the chicken dumplings.. all of which were so delicious. I'm definitely going to try the tacos next time I'm there. MY FAV dish was the duct confit salad... Oh and they let us sample some desserts.. I highly recommend getting the asian donut... yum
THE PRICE
I think the price is quite reasonable and within the ballpark of Susur's other restaurants. For two people, 5 dishes and 2 x drinks a piece, it cost us each $80 with tax and tip.
Definitely worth checking out.
