The reservation was at 7pm. I reached there at 645pm, wanted to go in, and was stopped by the waitress. She told me cooly, "Sorry, we are open at 7pm" "Can i go in and wait?" "No! Maybe you can go to the wine cafe nearby?" Alright, I gave up, so i went near the river to take a stroll, and went back to the restaurant at 7pm. GT was already there when i reached, and to my surprise, he was allowed "entry" at 650pm! Ahhh..so much about service..
One of the sauce to go with, the rest were mustards.
Salad
Look at the golden chunky fries! They were really nice, crispy on the outside, and soft in the inside!
Creme Brulee, which doubled up as the birthday cake as they did not have any cakes. The disadvantage was that the creme brulee was soft, such that the candle became wobbly, and you had to blow the candle really fast! The birthday boy was really fast, before I could sing a sentence of the birthday song or take photo, he blew the candle!! We finished with coffee, that was served with chocolate. I would not return for the steaks, I found it normal for the price that I had to pay, the fries were good though. But then again, would i return to pay $32.90 for fries? The wine list was not extensive, and the price was on the high side. Ambience was good though. It was a very relaxing night to sit outdoor, facing the river. The icing on the cake was the nice and cool weather. Having said that, there were a couple of restaurants near the river that would have the same ambience. I would recommend Aston for better value steak..
