点评:Today we decided to try the Garden Room for coffee and toasted T Cakes. We had never been before and always gone to Burnside. We were a bit surprised to see a sign saying wait here to be seated. We were shown to a table and after a short time a waitress came ( which accounts for the waiting to be seated sign). The T Cakes came in a reasonable time. However we had both finished eating with no coffee. We had to ask the waitress. When we went to pay, the card reader was showing a section for giving a tip which we thought was a bit naughty. The food was OK and it was a pleasant setting but I don't think the ordering and service set up worked very well. A bit dis-jointed. It came across as a cafe trying to be a high class restaurant Burnside is a much better set up. Smoother and less unneccesary waiting.
翻译:今天我们决定去Garden Room喝咖啡并品尝烤T蛋糕。我们以前从未去过那里,一直都去的是Burnside。看到“请在此等候入座”的提示牌时,我们有点惊讶。随后我们被领到一张桌子旁,没过多久服务员就过来了(这也解释了为何要有那个等候入座的提示牌)。烤T蛋糕上桌的速度还算可以。不过,我们俩都吃完后却还没喝到咖啡,于是不得不去询问服务员。后来我们去结账时……刷卡器上有一个可以给小费的选项,我们觉得这样有点不合适。食物还算可以,环境也很宜人,但点餐和服务的流程似乎不太顺畅,略显脱节。整个体验给人的感觉就像是一家试图装成高级餐厅的咖啡馆。相比之下,Burnside的运营方式要好得多——流程更顺畅,顾客也不必无谓地等待。
