| - I love the location, I love the interior decoration, I have no problem with the food and drinks but the service here is just suck! I guess 2 stars for this restaurant sums up my past 3 visits to this place.
I came here since it first opened. I was impressed with the interior decoration. The food was ok. All I remember was the dessert I ordered. It tasted ok but the very creative presentation made my day. Service was really so-so for a newly opened restaurant. I thought it could be more welcoming and attentive.
The second time here was just a drink and dessert experience with the fellow yelpers after a UYE dinner. The cocktail I ordered was citrus flavor but very bland. My bf ordered a manhattan drink and the comment was don't order it. He wasn't satisfied with his first drink and so ordered a beer but a taking-forever second round. He had to wait and asked the waitress twice before his beer came when the place was pretty empty at the time. I ordered a lemon curd as my after-dinner dessert. Like the first time, I was impressed with the presentation. Besides, it tasted fresh and just the right amount of sweet. At least, I was totally satisfied with my dessert.
The last time was the Summerlicious lunch ($23) just a week ago. I found the menu looked good. The hostess at the front door was busy with another customer, so I had to wait for a moment but she was nice enough to lead me to my table. My friend and I was happy with the Smoked Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho and Tempura Haddock with Japanese noodle salad + scallion aioli we had. Everything seemed right until our waiter started to be very preoccupied with his other tables or just laid back? So far, he came to our table once to check on us. He wasn't even the one who served us with the dessert. Mentioning about the dessert, we both had a lemon curd. Since I was so impressed with the lemon curd on my last visit, I suggested we could both have it. I was very disappointed when it came. It was only one-third portion of the one I ordered last time. The presentation was not lovely at all and it tasted too sweet this time too. Ok, I understand it was Summerlicious, so be prepared lol.
However, the most disappointed part was that the waiter, all of a sudden, brought us the bill without us asking for it when we were just having our dessert and our tea/coffee. He was mumbling while he put the bill at the corner on our table. Could you please speak up? Well, we were not supposed to order anything more, right? Should he check with us first or he just wanted to make sure we pay? I thought he might have just finished his shift. Ended up, it was not the case. We paid cash, he returned the change to us but he, sort of, slightly threw the bill folder back to us at the far end corner of our table. I had to lean on the table to grab the folder myself. Seriously? What did we do to make him, all of a sudden, provide us such a service attitude? All right, I assume he didn't do it on purpose, but serious restaurant training for him please.
In general, what a waste! This place can do better than this. I believe I gave it enough try.
