I went there for lunch today, not knowing the place, mostly good reviews and the usual disgruntled customer. Located in an office park, the set-up is rather nice hinting the claimed french bistro style. I am very please to discover that they offer "la Trappe" beer on tap, menu is enticing, very promising. I set my mind for the mussel pot (being very wary of mussels in SA restaurants). The menu announces mussels steamed in garlic and wine with a HINT of cream. Perfect for a light Friday lunch. I finish my beer and order a glass of wine, we've been served some focaccia in the mean time, a bit of a wait but so far so good. After some more wait, halfway through my glass of wine, comes the mussel pot, I open the lid and there have to dive to the bottom of it to discover a couple of mussels chasing each other while drowning in what looks like a thick cheesy sauce. In dismay I called the waitress and indicate that this is not what was described on the menu and that I was expecting a full portion not a starter one. The poor lady apologies and heads back to the kitchen to get me a new pot of mussels. Another wait... comes the manager advising the kitchen is busy fixing another mussel pot for me. wait, wait wait... here comes the long expected pot! It doesn't look like there are more mussels in that one. The sauce looks lighter but still like a cheesy creamy thing and not a broth... Here comes the manager, pleased to tell me that they have given me 26 mussels! when the normal portion is 20. Really not convinced but still willing to try, I pick up the one mussel eat it, what a feeling... just like picking up an old chewing gum from under your school desk! That's where it stopped, I asked for the bill and left, dumbfounded. How can someone mess mussels that badly? how much effort does it take?
