Medicore food at steep prices

Was wowed by a friend's description of the cafe and decided to check it out for dinner. Lovely ambience with fixtures and decor that's totally towards my liking for all things quaint and old-school. However, the food was definitely not up to expectation for its prices. We had the 2 dfferent types of soup, codfish fish and chips, fried chicken, sausage rosti and waygu burger.

Was wowed by a friend's description of the cafe and decided to check it out for dinner. Lovely ambience with fixtures and decor that's totally towards my liking for all things quaint and old-school. However, the food was definitely not up to expectation for its prices. We had the 2 dfferent types of soup, codfish fish and chips, fried chicken, sausage rosti and waygu burger. The codfish was totally off the mark. Because of the fact that it was codfish, we went for it despite the slightly steep price for a fish and chip dish, expecting it to be better than the typical one. It was tasteless! We could not even finish it despite us being people who do not adovcate food wastage. It was so bad we had to ask the waiter if they were sure it was codfish and he fumbled for awhile before replying us that it was codfish from some atlantic ocean -_- The fried chicken failed to deliver as a main dish as it was dry and not flavourful beyond its skin. The only dish that was satisfactory on a nomal expectation is the sausage rosti. We do not mind steep prices for good food but this was just very, very disappointing. Hope that the restaurant could review its food quality so as not to let its commendable efforts on the decor/restaurant setup go to waste, it is afterall a very lovely place to chill out at.

If you intend to check it the ambience here, would recommend brunch so you have a lower priced menu at risk, and there'll be a nice amt of daylight for some nice photo-taking.
