Finally had a chance to try Cafe Hacienda. I went there on May Day for lunch, and it seems rather busy, and it did not really have the nice and relaxed atmosphere that i read about. Maybe because i was seated next to a family with 2 toddlers, who were making quite a lot of noise.
Egg Benedict: Some said it is not worth to pay $16 for 2 poached eggs. But well, these are not ordinary poached eggs, they are extremely delicious!
NY Burger, one of the Wagyu Burgers on the menu, with gorgonzola, caramelized onions, aioli and sauteed mushrooms. It is a bit small for $26, but definitely yummy. Well, i "forced" my friend to pose for me after i caught him stealing my fries! Haha
Close up on the beef.
I think that the food is very good, though the atmosphere is not as relaxing as i thought. Yes, there are many books to let you read, including bimbo magazines, but somehow not very relaxing, and the tables are too close for comfort. Service is very prompt and attentive. I wasn't very happy with the photos though. Did not have enough time to take them, as my hungry friend was staring at me while I was taking......I did not let him eat, and he finished his orange juice in anticipation of the food. That's quite a hint, isn't it?
