The cold spinach soup and the gummy breadsticks!
Is this stuffed Cornish Hen or stuffed chicken?I celebrated my birthday by having dinner at Lolo Dad's Bistro at 6750. It was such a disappointing dinner and I invited a balikbayan couple with the intention of showing off our fine dining.
Well, to start off, despite having reserved a table a couple of weeks prior, we were relegated to a table on the second floor level. The ceiling is rather low and the aircon was pretty weak. There were some plastic bags in one niche and plates and cutlery were piled in a table and the whole room made you feel that this was an area utilized for storage and converted into a makeshift dining venue when the main floor was full.
And the service was poor and slow! The waiter could not answer our queries about the stuffed Cornish Hen and referred us to a waitress who just repeated what the menu said. We can read, HELLO!
My lady guest, my husband and I ordered a la carte and my son and his girlfriend and our male guest ordered the set menu. Our salads came way before even the first item of the four course set menu so we had three hungry diners in our table. When they finally got their appetizer platter, it came one by one. I don't know why they could not bring all three together since they must have come out of the kitchen at the same time. The soup was cold and the breadstick that accompanied it was gummy....probably undercooked.
The stuffed Cornish Hen was did not resemble Cornish Hen...it was a leg and thigh and not a whole hen. My guest who owns several poultry farms and a chicken processing farm in Australia says that it was chicken and not Cornish Hen. He was really looking forward to the Cornish Hen as there is none available in Australia.
The poached pear dessert was sour....
On the positive side, I must say that my soup and the rich man's salad and the chocolate semifreddo were excellent.
Now I wonder if the original Lolo Dad's in President Quirino Avenue will be disappointing as well.
