| - Yes, I can make some great claims about how "hip" and "cute" and "contemporary" the ambiance happens to be, and despite the "rave" reviews, I must say that these are certainly not reasons to overlook the "fly situation."
Yes, I said FLY situation. FLY as in pesky little insects with wings.
My friend and I decided to have lunch at Cafe Souvenir on a hot summer day. Instead of being seated outside (since the terasse was packed), we were seated deep into the bowels of this small restaurant.
What we discovered was that our meal came with some live entertainment. And I don't mean musicians. It came with a side order of live flies.
We pretty much had to constantly wave our hands over our food and our faces for the flies were plentiful and voracious for a taste of my meal (which as you'll read about next, was pretty terrible). Talk about distracting and disgusting!
Ah, and my meal. I must say that I was sorely disappointed. I ordered lamb with blueberries, which sounds delicious since I love lamb and I love blueberries. However, the lamb was so overdone that (even without the presence of the flies) I lost my appetite. I had never had a bad bite of lamb in my life until I entered this establishment, and now, almost a year later, I still shudder at the memory of that terrible meal. I've actually decided never to order lamb again at a restaurant, as I'm quite traumatized by the flavor... who knew lamb could end up tasting so horrendous?
Avoid if you want to enjoy a meal without worrying about hygiene!
