Restaurant week at Miss Ollie’s was deeelish. The menu comes with a yummy cocktail. The porridge with sea urchin was very comforting and a great contrast to Chinese porridge. The oxtails are sweet and begs for lots of hot sauce. I don’t like bread pudding but hubby and kid both enjoyed/devoured it. I go often and will continue to go often.
Our restaurant week lunch at Pican tasted good enough, but we had major service issues, mainly really long waits between courses. The table next to us also had service issues, but not as severe as ours. Our entrees took a long time to arrive, and we were offered an explanation about the printer not working. We arrived well before our neighboring tables and finished our entrees at the same time or slightly before our neighboring tables. They all recieved their desserts, ate them, paid, and left before our dessert was ready. One table even sent back their dessert and received a new one in that time. We were offered another excuse that the kitchen preferred to plate the dessert in batches. How is this a valid excuse? To add insult to injury, one nearby table received their desserts while they were still in the midst of eating their entrees, and before we received ours. We alerted the bus boy, waiter, and hostess about the delay and none of them could resolve the issue. Eventually the owner came by to apologize profusely, comped one of our meals, and we had to take our desserts in a doggie bag because I had to return to work. He was very nice, but the damage was done.
