My colleagues and I were hosting visiting delegates from Hong Kong and decided to make reservations here for lunch. Its proximity to the university and affiliation with the Intercontinental made it an excellent choice for our purposes.
When we arrived, we were greeted promptly by the hostess and taken to our table. The restaurant was completely empty, odd for a Friday afternoon, but the quiet was welcome as we expected to have good conversation.
The service was prompt and efficient, which was great for a business lunch. Water glasses were filled often and the complimentary bread was quite fresh.
As a vegetarian, I found just one main option on their entire menu - ravioli. Having said that, it sounded good so I decided to give it a go. The ravioli itself was lovely. Subtle flavours and creamy texture. The vegetables atop the ravioli though were thoroughly bland. The peas and carrots tasted as though they had been frozen and microwaved, while the other vegetables were uninspired.
Overall, the service was great and the ambiance was good for a business meeting where conversation is important. The food itself though, especially given the price, left something to be desired.
