  The quality of food and service wasn't awful, but was very disappointing.
  
  They sent out a vegetarian meal for my friend of just veges, no protein, despite the menu telling us it came with tofu, then tried to convince us we read the menu wrong. The waitress went to ask the chef and he said no, no tofu. We showed them the menu and the first item listed for all vegetarian meals is tofu. They apologized but, instead of remaking the meal (which was untouched) they said they'd give us 10% off. In the end they gave us less than 10% off.
  
  The whole reason we'd gone was for a vegetarian meal for my friend and he only got half the meal.
  
  I was also confused when they gave me a curry without rice and asked it I wanted to order rice too. Who drinks curry like soup? We also got brought our meals 15 minute's apart which was kind of inconvenient.
  
  Both meals were overpriced and bland (which is saying a lot because we're really not fussy eaters!). My green curry was white instead of green and the 4 mini spring roll starter, which cost around $10 and were the length of my pinky finger, had no taste at all. Anywhere else, the spring rolls would have been twice the size or less than half the price. We definitely don't recommend the starters!
  
  We were seated right by the door and were told it's because we didn't reserve a table, but only one table was reserved and during our entire meal there were only 6 other people there. The place was empty. We were a little confused but it wasn't too bad, just a bit chilly.
  
  The family behind us also complained about their meals being bland and overpriced. And one guy ordered to takeaway while we were there, and they tried to cram 5 boxes into a very small bag. They dropped it before they handed it over and one of the boxes spilled everywhere, but just handed the rest of the bag over anyway. They didn't explain anything to the guy as they cleaned it up, so he just walked out with with half his food.
  
  All in all, it wasn't a great experience. It's a shame because the building it beautiful and the food is well presented. I got the impression that maybe the staff were new, or at least the chef was. Hopefully it'll improve with time!
