| - As a huge fan of Jamie Oliver I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant out. I love his TV shows. I had high expectations for this place. Sadly it was a disappointing experience. I also finally got around to writing this review.
Food: 1/5
Presentation was lovely, and the food looked mouth watering. Sadly most of the dishes lacked flavour
We got the buratta to start. While the texture was soft one gooey the whole thing lacked flavour and salt. I can't help comparing this to Scaddabush burratas, which I love. This just didn't compare.
Not sure what was going on with the pasta dishes. Most of the pasta dishes were either salty or under salted. I got the Gnocchi Genovese, which tasted ok, and the texture of the gnocchi was light and fluffy. Overall this was an okay dish, but not one of the best that I've had.
The Prawn Linguine was way too salty and we sent it back to the kitchen. The chefs were prompt in redoing it. In the second attempt, the prawns were nicely cooked, but overall the dish lacked flavour.
My sister ordered the Procini Fettuccine, which also was so salty we had to get them to redo this dish as well.
My mom enjoyed her sweet potato salad special. It looked lovely and had a nice mix of sweet potato, fig, and greens. It had the right balance of texture and everything worked well together in the dish.
For drinks I ordered the Refresher, it sounded interesting and I love elderflower. But it was way too sweet and I didn't even finish it.
4/5
Servers were friendly and kitchen was prompt in redoing the orders. The server did come up and check on us to make sure that everything was okay through out the meal, and quick to act when we said the dishes were salty.
Decor 5/5
The decor was nice and I liked the wooden decor elements. It looked modern and hip. The chairs were comfy. It was cool that you could see the salad bar and the chefs working behind that.
Sadly I won't be back in a hurry.
