点评:I've been here twice now. The first time we were in the main hall part and it was a bit cold, but an interesting space and we got over the slightly chilly feel and had good food, lovely wine. There was a mirror at the table and it meant that one of us was permanently looking at ourselves, which was quite odd, so we put a coat over the mirror. The owner comes up and asks us if we think the gallery looks nice, in a very passive aggressive way, and asks us to remove the coat. We do, feel hackles rising, but don't want to ruin the evening by having a row about it, and had a nice time.
The second time I ask to be in the restaurant part of the room, much more intimate for smaller groups and a lovely space, as were the staff. We had some starters, calamari but too thick a batter, and some battered prawns, and some fritters which were nice enough, but it did feel very average, and all a bit deep-fried/heavy. Then for the main two of us had laksa which, to be honest, was dreadful. It was so thick and had rice in it which was just weird, and it tasted very oddly of 70's curry power mix. One of the party couldn't eat it and it was taken off the bill, and the other was half eaten by us sharing the lamb dish, which was good. The mussels apparently tasted a bit odd, but they were eaten so must have been OK. The pudding list came as we were still quite hungry but it was the same puddings as everywhere else - brownies etc. so we didn't really bother.
There is something quite special about this restaurant and I am so glad it is in the town but I suspect it thinks it is slightly better than it actually is.
I suggest a little more thought is needed about what would make a good, say calamari as a starter, or what a laksa actually is. The place is fab, we probably just got an off day, but some of the food was so off track, I do wonder.
翻译:我来过这里两次了。我们第一次来到主厅部分,有点冷,但这是一个有趣的空间,我们克服了略带寒冷的感觉,享用了美味的食物和美酒。桌子上有一面镜子,这意味着我们中的一个人一直在看着自己,这很奇怪,所以我们在镜子上放了一件外套。店主走上前来,以一种非常被动、咄咄逼人的方式问我们是否认为画廊看起来不错,并要求我们脱掉外套。我们这样做,感觉很烦躁,但不想因为争吵而毁了这个晚上,并且度过了愉快的时光。
我第二次要求在房间的餐厅部分,对于较小的团体和一个可爱的空间来说更加亲密,工作人员也是如此。我们有一些开胃菜,鱿鱼,但面糊太厚,还有一些炸虾和一些油条,这些都很好,但感觉很一般,而且有点油炸/重。然后我们主要的两个人吃了叻沙,老实说,这太可怕了。它很厚,里面有米饭,这很奇怪,而且尝起来很奇怪,像是 70 年代的咖喱粉。一个党吃不下被取消了,另一个被我们分享的羊肉菜吃了一半,这很好。贻贝显然尝起来有点奇怪,但它们被吃掉了所以一定没问题。布丁清单来了,因为我们仍然很饿,但它和其他地方的布丁一样——核仁巧克力饼等等,所以我们并没有真正打扰。
这家餐厅有一些特别之处,我很高兴它在镇上,但我怀疑它认为它比实际情况稍微好一些。
我建议需要多考虑一下什么才是好的,比如说鱿鱼作为开胃菜,或者叻沙到底是什么。这个地方很棒,我们可能刚刚休息一天,但有些食物太偏离轨道了,我很奇怪。
