You know that feeling when you really really want to love someone but they just dont let you because they constantly forget to shower or change their clothes? Joy Bistro and I have THAT relationship.
I give up on it with this winterlicious lunch.
First Course: Did that dry crostini not end up on my table again?! This time around, with a pukey green colour runny spread laden with eggplant seeds as if they were going out of style.
Second Course: Roast Beef Sandwich. Joy, my dear, if youre listening, when you write ingredients such as swiss cheese, apple mayo and rye bread on your menu, youre supposed to actually put them in the eventual product. All I got were thick leather like pieces of fat with a sprinkle of meat on them. The only hint of mustard on my sandwich came from the actual mustard seeds on the bread. The one thing missing: any semblance of taste.
Third Course: Apple Lady's apple cake. Again, the honey ice cream mentioned in the menu went for a walk. However, the apple cake was light and perfectly sweetened. The slightly bigger than normal portion made for great leftovers.
The only thing I loved about this experience was our waitress's pink eye shadow.
