I like the atmosphere (busy but not loud on a weekday evening) of Baldwin Street. Almost all restaurants along the street have patios. They are small but comfortable. Picked Valens because its $22 prix fix menu attracts me. I ordered the smoked chicken and sweet potato soup as appetizer, rack of lamb for main course and lava cake with whipped cream and vanilla ice-cream for dessert. Ended up, I was very satisfied with my meal:
- Very affordable price.
- Very friendly and attentive service.
- Good food though the portion is way too big for me. The soup tasted good and was freshly made...very hot. The lamb meat is very tender. I have been craving for lava cake for a while and it did not disappoint me:)
I deducted one star because of the drink I ordered from the cocktail list. The Blue Hawaiian is a bit too sweet. The washroom located in the basement is clean and tidy but the deep stairsteps killed me while I was wearing high heels lol.
