Not bad, but lacks in service....
I read the advertisement of Cafe Chinois in the Frazertown times which comes to me free along with my daily newspaper and what caught my attention was the Easter Lunch - 4 course for Rs.220 per person. Finding the amount reasonable, my wife and I decided to explore the place...
We were there at 1.25 pm sharp ( we booked a table for 1.30pm), was shown to our table. We had to wait till 1.50 for someone to come to our table, that too after 2 reminders to take our order. This first course came at 2.30, a good one hour after we got there... The waiters were however fast in refilling the chilled water... but food took ages to come...
I found the food not bad, except that the calamari was sick and tasteless and should be off their starter list ASAP. The steak was good, but the sauce was very salty and the crispy noodle was like the leaning tour of pisa and crumpled and fell all over the place when you tried to break it. What was most disappointing was the dessert - a stale tastng muffin with a chocolate sauce and the apple strudel - just one and a half inch in length nd one inch wide - a very pathet piece servied with cream instead of being served with icecream as mentioned on their menu board at the entrance...
The furniture also, considering I had to wait for over one and a half hours to be served a 4 course meal was very very uncomfortable. I also found the chinky waiters a bit dumb, slow, lazy. Service has to buck up tremendously. Also, the bill in a flimsy menu card looked a bit cheap !
A different kind of restaurant in Frazer town, but, wouldnt last long if the portions are small, and the service is lousy !
