点评:We had high hopes for Kamoosh in Waterdown after reading so many glowing reviews, and were genuinely excited to celebrate a birthday and a promotion there, but unfortunately, the experience fell short.
The restaurant was packed, which we took as a good sign, but it quickly became clear that they were struggling to keep up. It took nearly 50 minutes for our appetizers to arrive, and we were eventually told that due to a staffing issue in the kitchen, both our starters and mains would come out together. Not ideal for a special night out.
We ordered the bone marrow appetizer and the kale salad. The kale salad was excellent — fresh and well-balanced, but the bone marrow was overwhelmingly salty and hard to enjoy. For mains, we had the carrot pasta and the shrimp and calamari pasta. The carrot pasta was unusually sweet, and both dishes were far too al dente, borderline undercooked. Given the prices, we expected much better.
Service-wise, we appreciated the complimentary cannoli offered due to the long wait, but it was initially presented without acknowledgment of our celebration. Only after I reminded the server did she add a candle and say, “Let’s do this right.” While a nice gesture, it felt like an afterthought.
We really wanted to love this place, but between the excessive salt, long wait times, and the lack of acknowledgment for the occasion, it ended up being a disappointing and overpriced evening.
翻译:在读过那么多好评之后,我们对沃特唐的Kamoosh餐厅寄予厚望,也由衷地期待着在那里庆祝生日和升职,但不幸的是,这次体验并不尽如人意。
餐厅里挤满了人,我们觉得这是个好兆头,但很快我们就发现他们难以维持现状。我们的开胃菜等了将近50分钟才上来,最后我们被告知,由于厨房人手不足,前菜和主菜会一起上。这对于一个特别的夜晚来说,实在不是什么理想的选择。
我们点了骨髓开胃菜和羽衣甘蓝沙拉。羽衣甘蓝沙拉很棒——新鲜且营养均衡,但骨髓太咸了,很难下咽。主菜我们点了胡萝卜意面和虾仁鱿鱼意面。胡萝卜意面甜得有点过头,而且两道菜都太硬了,几乎没煮熟。考虑到价格,我们本来期待的会更好。
服务方面,我们很感激服务员为我们提供了免费的奶油卷,因为我们等了很久,但一开始并没有注意到我们庆祝了什么。直到我提醒服务员,她才加了一根蜡烛,说:“我们好好庆祝一下吧。” 虽然这举动很贴心,但感觉像是事后才想到的。
我们真的很想爱上这家餐厅,但盐太多、等待时间太长,而且服务员没有注意到我们庆祝的场合,最终让我们度过了一个令人失望且价格过高的夜晚。
