On Thursday night we decided to pop in for a drink and dinner after not being to Sidewalk Cafe for some time. The last time we went there albeit a few years ago it was always warm and cosy with some nice simple food on the menu. First up was the wine list, I suspect no one has ever tried their selections of Red's they were all at best entry level wine's. With one of them so bad we couldn't even drink it. That was just the beginning , the worst was yet to come. I then ordered the caesar salad it had absolutely no flavour at all, one hardish egg, hardly any cheese, a few pieces of flavourless chicken. So not great but not nearly as bad as my poor husbands dish. He ordered the ostrich steak "special" there was nothing "special" about it A thin piece of steak arrived it was grey, under cooked to the point that it was cold in the middle and basically a little blue. Then to accompany it was literally half a butternut stuffed with boiled rice. The butternut was hard and there was literally no flavour. It took me back to being in hostel in fact even that food was better. I doubt they have employed a chef but rather pulled in an untrained cook to keep the kitchen a float. The bathrooms are dirty and smelly, heaven knows the kitchen must look like. It was by far the worst meal I have ever eaten. I did write them a mail but hey never bothered to respond.
