Good: A really good, simple website detailing the menu, without any "coming soon.." pages. Really clean and incredibly efficient. Many single diners (I didn't go with Big Fat because she had stone carving, so I went on my own).
My food was a little bland but I asked for soy sauce and chili oil, which made it beautiful.
Clean. Efficiently run. OK food. You won't walk away feeling that anything was bad.
Bad: The menu isn't the greatest, I think. It looks a bit safe.
There isn't a lot of atmosphere. It's an in-and-out restaurant, so it wouldn't be suitable for a hot date. It is more a lunchtime or I've-had-a-bad-day-at-work-and-I-want-to-be-left-alone-evening restaurant.
About this Food Blog
-
My big, fat paramour loves food and would want a food blog to be about food. She said that a discussion of anything else would be ridiculous. Sometimes, I don't really care what she says. I like good service best, in a restaurant. My friend, Julio Baptista, likes large portions. My mother won't go back anywhere with bad toilets. Once, in France, she pulled the fringe of her scarf through the bottom of a men's urinal and nearly died from the dirtiness she felt. She hadn't realised and put the scarf back on and she got stranger's wee on her face.
People want different things from a restaurant. I focus here on a discussion of good/bad food and lavs and service and other, in Cambridge restaurants.
