I have very mixed feelings about this place. The food was hit and miss. Pizza was ok and chicken quite below average with a very poor sauce. It was so poor that we could not be sure if it was intended for the chicken or the side salad. The warm bread was actually nicer than the chicken. No one asked us how the food was so I guess the chef is not interested. After serving us, no one asked if we want to order anything else. Also, another surprise. The ambience was ordinary and I had to sit facing some big equipment. No music, making the ambience even more dull. Their saving grace is their very polite staff and general hygiene.We reserved by phone directly to the restaurant at around 5pm but when we arrived, our reservation was not found. That was disturbing and probably the reason I got a machine facing seat.During phone reservation, the staff asked if it’s a special occasion and I said ‘it’s my birthday’. I have seen in previous reviews and there is complimentary birthday cake given to other guests. I did not get any cake. The staff serving also asked if any special occasion and I said ‘birthday’ and if there was any promotion for birthday. He said he will check and came back to say there was none. It sounds odd that some guests get recognized and some ignored. Not sure what is the discrimination policy here. Would it really hurt their pockets that much to give a tiny piece of cake or tart or macaroon? It’s just a small personal touch. Also odd that I am asked twice about special occasion yet it means nothing, causing me to believe more of being discriminated. Maybe because we are not big spenders as we don’t eat beef or drink alcohol. We then left to have dessert and coffee at Les Bouchons where we were treated far better than here, though it was just a small spend.
