| - uggh i am so torn - i really wanted to give them a five! service was AMAZING (i love Oliver and Bonacini Bayview Village). I felt that they went beyond what was needed, by doing some fairly simple things. It's really too bad that the food wasn't (one of the dishes we ordered sucked).
When we got there, it was really busy, but the hostess got my name down and gave us a buzzer thingy - very pleasant woman. we walked around for a bit before heading back. She remembered my name when I went to follow up :) (not that it's hard to - i think we were the only chinese people in line, but still!)
\We were shown to a nice roomy booth ^_^, server gives us some time with the menus. we decided to get something from their brunch menu and something from their lunch menu (get something from their brunch menu if you can!!).
Server swings by - gives us the fruit drink specials - blueberry/mango/orange, peach lemonade, kiwi passionfruit. I ordered the blueberry/mango/orange; boyfriend ordered peach lemonade. blueberry/mango/orange was SO YUMMY!!!!! definitely recommend it - it was light and not too sweet. The peach lemonade was too peachy and not lemonade-y enough.
food:
Poached eggs and BBQ brisket:
RECOMMenDeD!! (with hollandaise sauce) - flavourful, fresh vegetables used, eggs poached just right, amazing sauce combo. try this :)
shrimp and scallop linguini
not recomended: pasta was undercooked, it was missing that one mystery ingredient that would've made it more flavourful :( . shrimp and scallops were kind of tasteless.
all in all - it was a great experience :) great service, food is usually great (i really miss their giant scallops - don't usually like scallops, but they make it taste so good).
