We had a change to visit this restaurant as part of Restaurant Week, we selected this venue as I personally love Burgers, and just not have had the opportunity to try them.
Their Restaurant Week menu offered a 3 course lunch menu of starters (2 Salads), mains (3 Burgers) and a desert (one of their regular menu – choice of 3).
For starters we selected one of each they had on offer.
The Brown Rice u0026 Quinoa Salad was freshly made however very bland (having had plenty of these before which were a lot tastier at other restaurants -and including my own home made version).
The Beetroot u0026 Feta Salad was definitely the star of our visit – the combination of the salty feta, sweet walnuts u0026 earthy beetroot a beautiful combo with the spicy rocket leaves and touches of balsamic glaze.
For mains we tried their Southern Fried Chicken Burger and Bacon u0026 Cheese Burger.
Southern Fried Chicken Burger – The southern spices on the chicken breast were good however the deep-fried crust was very oily.
Bacon u0026 Cheese Burger – The patty was under seasoned and bland.
Both burgers were served with “American cheese” which I personally think tastes of nothing (what's wrong with good old SA Cheddar?) and were served on top of a sesame seasoned “brioche” bun which unfortunately seemed a waist of effort as the buns ended up tasting like every other supermarket variety.
During our meal, one of the waitresses approached our table and tried to apologise as they had seemed to run out of deserts - which were part of the Restaurant Week menu offering (!?!) and offered to give us either espressos or milkshakes instead.
We opted for the espressos however could not believe that an eatery could not have one desert available for their patrons – really? And they were half full by the time we left as well....
The nice, friendly service would unfortunately not compel us to try their underwhelming food at this restaurant again nor recommend it.
