After my first visit when it had opened not so long, the food took ages so I waited longer till my second visit.

On my second visit, I came with a group of four people.

We were arranged a four people table which sounds reasonable, however the Daily menu was placed at a rather odd spot, behind the chair.
If you see the picture, the customer will be blocking the menu view, also not an appropriate place to place the menu, firstly people can’t see through people, and the person infront of the menu would need to turn their head 360 degrees to see it.

The waitress who served us, had rather funny English with some chinese mixed into it, she was introducing the dishes on the board, saying:

“A CHAN is chicken leg with baguette, B CHAN burger, C CHAN is ………, D CHAN”
notice the chinese word CHAN mixed up with the English!

We ordered the chicken leg with baguette, Burger with cheese, Chili Con Carne, Cheese and Spinach quiche.

For starters we chose minestrone soup and ham and apple salad, which was also funny as the waitress pronounced it as “Manistrone soup”.

Anyway the starters came, the soup was ok, the salad was quite nice, thick mayonnaise sauce with diced apples, ham, strawberry and almond flakes.
Then the main dishes came, when she put down the dishes, she verbally said the names of the dishes, however the Chili con carne which she said was "chili con carne" was actually Chicken Tikka Masala, also entered wrongly as Chicken Tikka Masala on the bill. It was also much more expensive than the Chili con carne. We wanted to tell them at the time, but my friend did not want to waste time and have the right dish cooked, he also thought there wouldnt be much of a price difference.

As for the chicken with baguette, I think it should be written as chicken thigh not chicken leg, because chicken leg is normally a drumstick with bone.

For the cheese and spinach quiche, the contents on the plate was rather empty, just a few pieces of greens, fried onion rings, and the quiche. The onion rings tastes better than the ones at Outback, not so greasy.
The quiche was not firm at all, I thought there was too much spinach in it. The cheese in the quiche was very creamy and tasted like Camembert.

Anyway we were nearing the end of our lunch, and drinks were served. Then we were given complimentary fruit.
All our cutlery were taken away, so we had to eat it either with fingers or toothpicks.

Lastly we got our bill and realised she put Chili con carne as Chicken Tikka Masala, but anyway if you’re an experienced waitress, even if you input the wrong dish for the chef, you should know what the dish is when you serve it.
Also we noticed something amusing on the bill, for my friends burger with cheese had the remarks
“ > no sausage, want cheese instead Add sausage”

I doubt burgers have sausages in it anyway, unless its a sausage muffin like Mcdonalds.

If I had no choice in Wanchai I would probably come here again, but my friends have certainly blacklisted it.
