| - Went back again on Wednesday for lunch with sister-in-law from the left coast who has been with me for two months and wonderful son who loves food.
The order was: Shrimp Spanish Style, Calmari Crispy aka. deep fried with regular seafood sauce, whole chicken, medium rice, medium crinkle potatoes, medium salad, piri piri sauce, 2 pops, one MGD beers, half litre Two Oceans White Wine, $72 +10 tip.
That shrimp dish has the best flavour i've had in ages it was exceptionally good. The calamari although fresh is not what i wanted, the left coast ordered it, i would have preferred the grilled. Nothing special. Definately get the Shrimp enough for four people as an app.
The chicken this time seemed to be really small, couldn't figure out where the white meat was or decipher the chicken configuration at all. That said it was very tasty.
The rice is bland and will never order that again, it was clumpy and cold. The crinkle deep fried potatoes are what they are, either your love or hate them. I like them, son loves them. Left coast hated them.
Now onto service, it was very slow and a bit incompetent. We arrived at 1:15pm order taken at 1:30 (asked for water 3 times). Shrimp and Calamari with salad at 1:45pm with bread/butter. Pop and Beer at same time. Chicken, Rice and crinkle potatoes 2:30pm no piri piri had to wait 5 minutes. Half litre of wine not there yet as well. We actually ordered a Portgeguese wine but she made a mistake on the Two Oceans we took it because i couldn't bare waiting another 15 minutes for the right one.
The waitress is a very nice women and personable but i think she needs more help on the floor from staff. She really can't do it all. Hence the $10 tip. The guys behind us seemed to wait forever for their food and looked at their watch oh maybe 50 times. Not to be a nosey neighbour but i saw their $50 + bill and the tip was $4.
I was on no schedule but if you were you may not want to have lunch here. Out of there 3:15. About two hours. Left overs for home. Will go back again....i do love the chicken and piri piri, and i think the fish dishes are where i need to go next time...
