This is usually an excellent restaurant to visit and have a meal in. But not on this occasion.We were met on arrival by fairly new faces...............not the regulars who know me and my wife. One of them tried to shove us to a terrible table placed in a most awkward place. We declined to move there. They seemed reluctant to give us a proper table. We were on the verge of walking out and visiting another good restaurant in the area when one of them saved the situation. They found us an acceptable table.Next a few of them could hardly speak or understand English. It was quite a frustrating experience for us. Then a pleasant, young Indonesian lady turned up and saved the situation. Her name is Shanti and she hails from Sumatra. She spoke English very well and seemed to understand our requirements easily. She was familiar with the menu and the availability of wines by the glass. She even recommended a new item on the menu i.e Deep Ocean Squid ( 200 gm ).Although I had come in for a Black Angus Steak, I decided to try the Deep Ocean Squid. It was good ( grilled ) but not quite up the taste and quality of the Squid Steak I had in Sandton, Johannesburg, S. Africa years ago.My wife went for her favourite - Dover Sole and it was lovely.............as usual.For dessert, we opted for the home made Rum and Raisin ice cream. It was excllent.
