| - We went to 3030 in search of a light lunch, on a Friday. When we went in there was a dazzling array of food choices listed on a board near the entrance.
Encouraged, we found a table and sat. A friendly waiter gave us a menu.
The items listed on the menu were completely different to those shown on the board, and sadly, did not include the Caesar Salad shown on the board. Most of the choices, including pancakes, were not light.
I said I would prefer the Caesar Salad. The waiter explained that those items on the board were not available for todays' lunch.
I asked if he could recommend something light on the menu he had given us, and the best he could suggest was the Tomato Salad.
My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and I ordered the Tomato Salad.
After what seemed like an eternity, but was actually a mere 30 minutes, the nice waiter arrived triumphantly with our food.
I have to give them 100 percent for the excellent presentation. The plates looked amazing, with great care being taken with the food arrangement.
My husband was very pleased with his Eggs Benedict.
I was crashingly disappointed with my tomato salad.
What I got was a magnificantly sliced tomato, interlaced with paper thin slices of onion, and sprinkled with Blue Cheese. A work of art. It looked just a like whole tomato. I really appreciate the skill that went in to slicing and arranging the tomato and onion, and how great it looked, but to me that was not a tomato salad.
That was it - basically one tomato sliced with onion and blue cheese. No roll, bun, slice of bread, no other vegetables. I was not pleased and was left hungry.
For the life of me, I cannot see why it took 30 minutes to prep those two dishes.
Probably mean to judge them on that one experience, but you may be sure I won't be rushing back there any time soon for lunch. (sigh)
