BF and I walked into this place and immediately spied the best table in the house- tucked away into a corner with a cushioned bench seat. A waiter made eye contact with us, and gestured toward the table with a grand flourish. Coming over to us with menus, he conspiratorially whispered, "Best seats in the house." Thus began our love affair with the Three Williams.
At least one William of the Three who run this place has clearly been in the hospitality industry for a long time. First of all, they've actually got a hostess whose express purpose is to guide patrons to their table. They also have a veritable army of extremely capable and friendly staff members, so the service is speedy and cheerful. It's in a spacious, warehouse-y feeling underground space, encased in polished concrete to keep you nice and cool, with tables that are arranged so that you're not directly on top of the diners next to you.
Fab coffee, fresh juice was a nice big serving, and the food... man oh man was that Merchant roll, already having been deliciously deconstructed by our very own fearless leader Benny B., ever awesome... all pickles and soft bun and runny yolk and salty bacon and more pickles... I never wanted it to end.
BF's prawn "narnie"- made with house-crafted griddled naan bread- came with 5 juicy marinated grilled prawns, creamy aioli, crispy iceburg lettuce and a mountain of guacamole and sweet corn. Be warned: it's a messy work of edible art. He also ordered fish croquettes which he loved that came served in a cardboard egg crate- v cute preso.
The worst part of our experience was leaving our awesome, cozy, comfy corner seats to go up and resist impulsively buying some freshly iced donuts cleverly positioned next to the cash register whilst paying our bill. At $42.50 for a coffee, juice, 2 fish croquettes, and 2 sandwiches, it's not cheap. But with that spacious venue, all of those staff members ensuring an enjoyable experience and the quality of the food served, I'd pay it any day. Like tomorrow. And the day after that.
