I believe in second chances... when I initially went to Bread & Butter a few weeks ago, I ordered Pad Thai... what came out, was absolutely nothing remotely resembling what I ordered... sure, there were noodles, but that's pretty much where a similarity to the actual dish ended. What I received was a mash-up of vegetables (broccoli, zucchini, carrots, etc... basically what you'd see in a stir fry) in a watery broth... no single piece of egg, bean sprouts, peanuts, etc... you know, what one would expect to see in a Pad Thai. As a result, I decided that I must have picked up someone else's order because there is no way anyone could ever hear "I'd like some chicken Pad Thai" and produce this mess.
Oh, how wrong I was... upon returning a few weeks later, and against the pleas from my colleagues, I decided to order the same dish again (because, as I stated above, there is no way anyone could murder Pad Thai this much on purpose). Alas, the 2nd time was not a charm. It really seems like the chief really believes this is what a Pad Thai consists and looks like. I am not even comparing this to an authentic local hole in the wall restaurant... I am pretty sure that if McDonald's decided to make Pad Thai, they could make one that tasted better and was more authentic, made of French fries, lettuce and tomato than what Bread and Butter calls a Pad Thai. I mean, really... just Google it... I did... it will take a second.. it does not look anything like what you are serving!
To be fair, the rest of the food does look good, but I am not really sure if I can muster the courage to go back here any time soon (and if I do, I will not be getting the Chicken Pad Thai).
