The Knolls Tea Bar
Ambience wise was nothing to shout about having seated indoors. Lukewarm assorted breads were served together with its first of three course dinner, peach gazpacho. Cold and slightly sour soup which I thought could have prepared way advanced.
The main dish was a slow cooked chicken breast with asparagus risotto. While the risotto was undercooked, the flavor was somehow detached. In my opinion, a simple dish that could be done much better by most restaurants. Last of the dish, mediocre and very common dessert, Raspberry Tart with Red Fruit Sorbet. Off the shelf raspberry sorbet , and you guessed it, fresh raspberry. The pastry was so hard that I gave up trying after one attempt in breaking it down. Service wise was good if only you want a very quiet dinner, as our water was only refilled once after several attempts in finding the staff. The bill? At $48++ plus $20++ (is it me or is it only this restaurant that charges more than the usual $35++ plus $20++ for restaurant week). Totally not worthy for 3 below average dishes. Now I can also understand why is it so empty. I had not wanted to go through the hassle of creating an account and just be only reading and finding good places to eat. But after tonight's encounter, I felt deeply that I have the responsibility to at least inform and let the rest of the hgw community know what to expect.
