点评:The outlook from the veranda tables was very pleasant and the coffee was okay. The food we had left much to be desired. I had a toasted ham and cheese sandwich with salad and at $20, I thought it would be at the least very good. However, it was virtually tasteless and it was only the very small serving of chutney which gave it any flavor at all. I was surprised that there was no butter on the outside (or inside) as has been my experience for decades - this adds considerably to the flavor. The ham seemed to be 'deli' processed type (I may be wrong) and also with hardly any flavor. The cheese was of a Swiss type with holes but again, very little flavor. I am sure it would be better to use a quality ham and a mature cheddar cheese in order to give the sandwich some flavor - plus a little ground pepper or Dijon mustard if necessary. The bread was nice (possibly sourdough) and the sandwich overall was large, but had been cooked in a sandwich press for short time to brown the bread but not left long enough to melt the cheese. I got the impression that the 'cook' was not a professional. The salad was a pile of small leaves only, with vinaigrette type dressing. Overall, most disappointed. My wife had a bacon and egg scone and no doubt the egg was in there (I presume) but you had to look very closely to find any tiny pieces of bacon. Again, there was very little flavor - but the butter was nice even if it was only a very small serving for a large scone. No doubt this cafe relies upon the passing tourist trade and is not worried about getting repeat business. Unless I hear of a positive change, we would not return.
翻译:从阳台的桌子望出去的景色非常宜人,咖啡也还不错。我们点的食物却差强人意。我点了一份烤火腿奶酪三明治配沙拉,20美元的价格,我以为至少应该很不错了。然而,它几乎没有味道,只有一小份酸辣酱才让它有了些许风味。令我惊讶的是,三明治的外层(或内层)竟然没有黄油,这几十年来我的经验就是如此——这大大提升了它的风味。火腿看起来像是“熟食店”加工的(我可能错了),而且几乎没有什么味道。奶酪是瑞士奶酪,上面有小孔,但味道同样淡淡。我确信最好用优质火腿和成熟的切达奶酪来给三明治增添风味——如果需要的话,还可以加一点胡椒粉或第戎芥末。面包味道不错(可能是酸面包),三明治整体来说很大,但只在三明治压模里烤了一小会儿,让面包变黄,而没有烤到足够长的时间让奶酪融化。我感觉“厨师”不太专业。沙拉只是一堆小生菜,淋着油醋汁。总的来说,非常失望。我妻子点了一份培根鸡蛋司康饼,鸡蛋肯定在里面(我猜),但你得仔细看看才能找到任何细小的培根碎。同样,味道很淡——不过黄油味道不错,即使它只是一份大司康饼的一小部分。毫无疑问,这家咖啡馆依赖过往的游客,并不担心回头客。除非我听说情况有所好转,否则我们不会再来。
