Beautiful Speakeasy, but Style Over Substance
SOORA Speakeasy Bar Nusa Dua Bali的点评
点评:With its elegant décor, intimate lighting, and stylish seating areas, Soora Speakeasy Bar at Ayodya Resort Bali certainly looks the part. The atmosphere is sophisticated and inviting, creating the expectation of a premium cocktail and dining experience.
Unfortunately, the reality did not match the setting. The cocktail menu is ambitious and creative, but many of the drinks seemed over-engineered at the expense of flavour and balance. We sampled several cocktails throughout the evening and found them consistently disappointing. Even a classic gin and tonic, usually difficult to get wrong, lacked the freshness and simplicity that makes the drink enjoyable.
The food raised more serious concerns. Our first dish, deep-fried prawns, arrived cold with the centre still frozen. Hoping it was an isolated mistake, we continued, only to later be served undercooked chicken. At that point, we decided not to order anything further.
The venue itself is stunning and has all the ingredients for a memorable night out, but the kitchen and bar execution fell well below the standard suggested by the surroundings. A disappointing experience in what should have been one of the resort’s standout dining venues.
翻译:巴厘岛阿约提亚度假村的Soora Speakeasy酒吧装潢优雅,灯光柔和,座位时尚,的确给人一种高档酒吧的感觉。这里氛围精致迷人,让人对高级鸡尾酒和餐饮体验充满期待。
然而,现实却与这般环境大相径庭。鸡尾酒单创意十足,但许多饮品似乎为了追求极致的口感而牺牲了风味和平衡。我们当晚品尝了好几款鸡尾酒,却都令人失望。就连通常很难出错的经典金汤力,也缺乏那种令人愉悦的清新和纯粹。
食物的问题则更加严重。我们的第一道菜是炸虾,端上来时是冷的,虾肉中心都还没熟透。我们抱着侥幸心理继续点菜,结果之后又端上来一份没熟透的鸡肉。这时,我们决定不再点其他菜了。
酒吧本身环境优美,具备打造难忘夜晚的所有要素,但厨房和酒吧的出品却远低于其环境所应有的水准。原本应该是度假村最出色的餐厅之一,结果却令人失望。
