This Coffee Club outlet is far from being the best place to chill. Neither conducive to conversation or people watching. The cafe has no windows and most patrons have no views, unless you manage to get one of the five tables at the far end of the cafe which overlooks the lobby of Swissotel The Stamford. The tables at this Coffee Club are arranged less than an arm's length fom one another so much so that one can hear every single word uttered by those seated at the neighboring table even if they
This Coffee Club outlet is far from being the best place to chill. Neither conducive to conversation or people watching. The cafe has no windows and most patrons have no views, unless you manage to get one of the five tables at the far end of the cafe which overlooks the lobby of Swissotel The Stamford. The tables at this Coffee Club are arranged less than an arm's length fom one another so much so that one can hear every single word uttered by those seated at the neighboring table even if they were speaking in hushed tones. Service is rather slow and inattentive.The entree menu here is less extensive than other Coffee Club outlets. Some popular items like pork ribs and slipper lobster linguineare not available at this branch. The day we visited both seafood entrees - fish and chips, and shrimp crusted salmon filet - were not available. So most of the choices left were pasta dishes. Hete is the pesto fish and clam chowder linguine $16.20++. The pasta was a little overcooked - turned out a tad soft rather than al dente. The clam chowder was bland and way too watery, and there was only five of the tiniest clams I've ever seen. There were two chunks of white fish that was totally bland and tasteless - obviously fish that had been in the freezer too long and not marinated prior - almost like eating microwaved fish. The handful.of mesclun leaves topping the dish was also out of place. Thumbs down!
