40 Hands
But this, my friends, is 40 Hands. Overpriced coffee and mediocre brunch.

Cocotte
From top:
Scallops
Pork Collar
Beef Stew
(I forgot all the fancy names)
The food was amazing. Speechless. Expensive but worth it. You have to try. YOU MUST.
9.5 out of ten. (no full marks because their butter was not salted.)

Oomphatico
From top:
Tomato Soup
Chicken Masala Risotto
Wild Mushroom Risotto
Tomato Gnocchi
(Dental Wash) Sea Bass
Oomphatico Burger
Alfredo Pasta
Peri Peri Chicken
Lovely (forcefully so)food in a lovely setting. When we got there, we were the only other customers seated inside the restaurant. It was Cindy's birthday and I suggested the place because, as usual, I'd always wanted to try the food out, after hearing raving reviews from friends. For such a cute place, the service really didn't match up to it. We had a hard time getting attention from any of the servers there though they were mildly or reluctantly polite. One of them actually cleared our plates without asking, there was still food on it, we weren't done yet.
I was looking forward to the burger but it came quite a disappointment. The meat, though requested medium well, was well done and hard as a rock. It was warm, not hot. Because of that, I couldn't fully taste the seasonings. But there was that hint of a taste that could possibly close to perfect. The restaurant wasn't busy so I really couldn't understand why the food was so half-fucked.
Debbie's fish was the worst. Not fresh and the sauce tasted really bad, like dental wash. I am not kidding you. We had to change it halfway through. I couldn't allow her to go through that trash. The Wild Mushroom Risotto was superb, I'd been craving risotto all month and finally, something to whet my shriveling palates. The rest of the food wasn't bad. I would grace the place again, perhaps sometime closer to a weekend. Hopefully, the staff there would have been cured of deafness by then.
6.5 out of ten.

Half fucked photos from my ever-shaking hands. Had this over a month ago, I'm so sorry for the lack of any updates here, it's been a crazy and sad year so far. The food wasn't too bad. I don't remember the names of the dishes and the it was reasonably priced. The only downside about the whole experience was having to climb up the hill to reach the place, Old School.
7 out of ten.

Gusttimo
I can't remember the fancy name of this. The sausages were, well....sausages, obviously microwaved. But the beef was surprisingly good. One for one house pours and drafts, and right in town. Good deal.
