Five stars for my latest visit to this restaurant.
What's good here: everything my friends and I had tonight (roasted half chicken, baby back ribs, chicken bolognese and, for dessert, white Toblerone cheesecake and apple crisp. For breakfast, eggs benedict with salmon and spinach.
Maybe it's because we couldn't help but compare to what we had last night from that similarly priced organic restaurant located in the same neighborhood (where almost everything tasted bland), that food here tonight tasted so delicious. I know it's not everything is delicious and I remember a few times when I was disappointed with my order but that was a long time ago. The last time I was here was more than 2 years ago.
This place has a nice ambiance, I love the Christmas decors they used this year. Waiters were attentive, good didn't take too long to be served. They also had this device with a button for getting the bill and another button for calling waiters if you needed something else--just in case the restaurant gets busy. But tonight, we were only two groups dining at the second floor and we had 2-3 waiters staring in our direction while we ate. When we were about to order our waiter told us right away which menu items were not available.
Roasted chicken was moist and tasted good. If you're in a group that doesn't want to share food and you're in the mood for something very filling, this is a good choice. The waiter who sensed we were going to share our entrees asked if we wanted the half chicken chopped and we said yes. This doesn't come with rice.
Everyone noticed that they didn't skimp on the ground beef on the spaghetti bolognese! Yummy! Pasta was al dente, plus points for that.
Baby back ribs looked like charred meat in the photos but they're really good. Meat slides off the bone. On the expensive side (P790) but I suppose that's how it really is anywhere. Tip: if you want cheaper (cooked) baby back ribs to eat at home, S&R has them for half the price. What I enjoyed surprisingly, too, was the mashed potatoes that came with the baby back ribs.
If you don't know what to get for dessert, white Toblerone cheesecake is good. Get some coffee, too.
When it comes to finding a place to park your car, I suggest you do some research before going there. During holidays it might be easier to find street parking. Paseo Center carpark could be an option but not always because it gets full on weekdays at lunchtime.
