点评:We were regulars when it was Java in years gone by, and properly fell out with it when it became Abaco. Terrible service, poor food and over priced. We tried it every few months and found the same each time (and dirty!).
We'd heard that it was under new management and could see the vast amount of staff that had been added - so again gave it a go.
There has been a marked improvement in service. Still lacking in some areas but it's clearly a new, young and inexperienced team. The food (pizzas I can recommend, and the garlic prawn bruschetta!!) was great.
As I said, an inexperienced team which does show. We've been twice and on our first visit we were told there were no tables and offered the high seating next to the road. Despite 3 tables being empty and remained empty for the duration. The second time I did actually book a table.....but ended up with the same high seats next to the road on a sloped surface (not ideal for eating). I did say I had booked a table and was told...yep, that was our 'table'. Again, 3 more table were empty and we were moved when I eventually nsisted.
Food - again great on our second visit.
Downsides - it's expensive. You don't get much of a portion size for the price of some of the meals / dishes. Also, £6.60 (I think) for a beer is sky high.
The thing I detest the absolute most is the pay as you go. Please please PLEASE stop this!!!
We asked a member of staff for more drinks whilst mid meal and the poor girl was literally stood over us with a card machine whilst eating. Twice. It spoils the entire experience and takes up far too much of the staff's time.
翻译:几年前,当它还叫爪哇岛时,我们是这里的常客,但当它更名为阿巴科岛时,我们就彻底跟它闹翻了。服务糟糕,菜品难吃,价格也贵得离谱。我们每隔几个月就去一次,每次都吃得一样(而且很脏!)。
我们听说它换了管理层,而且能看到新增了大量员工——所以又去了一次。
服务有了显著的改善。虽然在某些方面仍然存在不足,但这显然是一支年轻、缺乏经验的新团队。食物(推荐披萨和蒜蓉虾烤面包!!)很棒。
正如我所说,这支团队经验不足,这一点显而易见。我们去过两次,第一次去的时候,他们告诉我们没有桌子了,只给我们安排了靠路边的高位。尽管有三张桌子是空的,而且一直空着。第二次我虽然订了桌子……但最终还是被安排在了靠路边的斜坡上的高位(不太适合吃饭)。我确实说过我订了桌位,然后被告知……没错,那就是我们的“桌位”。结果又空了三张桌,最后我坚持要换桌,结果换了位置。
食物——我们第二次来的时候,味道依然很棒。
缺点——价格贵。有些菜品的价格和份量不成比例。而且,一杯啤酒6.60英镑(我记得)的价格也贵得离谱。
我最讨厌的就是按次付费。拜托拜托拜托,千万别再这样了!!!
我们吃饭的时候想找个服务员加点饮料,结果那个可怜的姑娘拿着刷卡机站在我们面前,居然两次。这毁了整个用餐体验,还占用了服务员太多的时间。
