| - The hubby and I stumbled upon Art Square Cafe by accident, well okay actually he wanted to go to Sin and Redemption, and I was like all eye-roll about that so we ended up here :D
Art Square really impressed me with amazingly polite and friendly service from the super nice Turkish folks who work and own the establishment and our male server especially was full of smiles and just so lovely all around. I can't speak for the slow service previous Yelpers have mentioned, as I came here with hubby on a Monday around 5pm and got served pretty proficiently.
I chose the daily special which was veggie pancakes of shredded zucchini, with a sour yoghurt dipping sauce that reminded me of raita, but with a dash of paprika instead of mint was served alongside a green salad all this loveliness was $8.50, hubby's lunch looked to be an unusual combination of shrimp crepes with cheese and oranges(??) but he gobbled it up like Gollum ravishing a raw fish so this assured me of it's delectability, I think?
Aside from lunch fare Art Square Cafe also features an extensive array of desserts and *gasp* home made chocolates!!! The FRANK GEHRY truffle is AMAZING!!! Comprised of Maple Syrup, organic wine, 80% dark chocolate and pure silver, it truly is a work of chocolate art! Speaking of art, the cafe is connected with the East Gallery featuring vibrant works by celebrated South East Asian artists, so not only do you get to enjoy a lovely nosh, but you get to feast your eyes as well.
I'm really shocked and saddened by the negative reviews as our experience here was most definitely a very positive one, and I won't hesitate to come back. I give Art Square Cafe a well deserved 4.5.
