We came here for lunch expecting it to be awesome because it was pretty busy with lots of professionals eating under the sun, but the food is abysmal to say the least.\n\nI ordered the table d'h\u00f4te and was pretty excited for my dishes to arrive. I decided to go for the watermelon gazpacho which was...just ok. For someone who loves watermelon beyond words (I could eat a whole melon in a day and forego any other food if you gave me the chance), I couldn't contain my excitement when my dish arrived, but seeing a pool of pink with a nice huge drop of oil swimming in the middle was pretty unappetizing. Nonetheless, I assumed that it would be an awesome dish because...well...you can't really mess up anything with watermelon....but I was sadly mistaken. This was simply some blended and strained watermelon nearly flavourless with a tablespoon of unnecessary oil in the middle of it that didn't really serve to enhance the flavor, and so I didn't finish the dish and started getting nervous for my main.\n\nThe main was a chicken breast salad which I was also looking forward to. However, I think it's safe to say that this is the worst salad I've ever had. Sorry for the dramatic nature of this post so far, but really.. the WORST. First of all, it's just chicken on lettuce. No other vegetables. But, ok, I can look past that. A well cooked piece of chicken with vinaigrette will be good with good lettuce. So, let's break it down:\n\n1. The chicken was FREEZING cold. I'm not talking about not warm because I don't expect warm chicken on my salads, but I mean right out of the top shelf of the fridge freezing cold. \n\n2. This freezing piece of chicken was undercooked as several pieces from the middle of the breast were pink or nearly red in color. \n\n3. Add to this the fact that the lettuce mix wasn't really fresh and ....\n\nbammmm, you've got the worst salad on earth. \n\nThe only good part of the table d'h\u00f4te/our entire experience and the reason for the 2 (instead of 1) stars was the amazing dessert which was a super intensely rich fudge brownie. \n\nService was about a 5/10 with our waitress unable to speak a full English sentence and the food coming out pretty slowly. The bread basket also never came out till we asked mid-appetizer but that might be a money saving thing... \n\nIn any case, don't waste your time or money here - really not worth it unless you're coming for some wine and that awesome brownie (or..several servings of it obvi :p)!
