Expensive. Bad service. Crowded. Need i say more? I don't like this place at all.
The food itself wasn't good as well. This fish and chip was too oily and i could practically feel my whole mouth so oily and yucky after finishing the meal.
The service was really bad as we had to ask them a few times for refill of water (just like what sylvdoanx encountered) and the staff there wasn't really polite as well.
Definitely not value for money given the below average food, poor service and the crammed and crowded place.
I won't return to this place again.

Just as my review on Cafe Cartel in Plaza Singapura.. This review won't be really different. As usual... The place is very very cramped. I guess Cafe Cartel believes that the more people they squeeze inside, the more revenue it will get. It's logically true in a sense, but it really compromises customer's comfort I guess..
And I'll repeat my advice again.. Don't go to Cafe Cartel when it's crowded! Seriously, just find another place to eat.
When I went to this branch with my friends, it was horrible. Our table is adjoined to a table beside us occupied by a couple. Well but in the end the staff did bring us a separator between our tables though..
CAn't remember what I was having that day. I think it's another pan-fried linguini.. Or... Er I don't know. Hahaha.
Service was bad. We called out several times to refill our glasses. I think it took us 4 or more calls before our glasses finally were refilled.
And since it was crowded.. The bread is gone! When the bread finally came, everybody just flocked around the bread table. Makes the space even more cramped.. Haiz...
I tried their cakes here. Didn't like it. The sponge cake was not spongy at all. Don't know how to explain it.. It's just.. Not spongy -_- the chocolate cake was not very nice either. Hmm maybe because I came late so the cakes were the leftovers? Who knows...
I gave this branch 2 stars based on my experience that time. I've visited this branch only once.. ANd I believe they are actually better when it's not very crowded.

I believe this place needs no introduction. So lets get straight to the point.
The soup is reminiscent of Campbell's and we got it by adding about $4 for a soup, some bread and a drink.
Seafood Combo ($49.30 after adding 3 meals) - The seafood combo came is portions of 3 generally, garlic butter and cheese baked mussels, cross cut fries, 5 to 6 fried shrimps, calamari rings and one big piece of dory fillet. And believe or not, the serving managed to feed 4 full grown adults pretty well. The mussels were quite a let down actually, nothing too special about them. The fillet was thick and sweet. The fish meat was piping hot and fine as well. I didn't like the shrimp too much as its overly fried, as is the calamari rings. However, all these were made up for with its wasabi mayonnaise sauce which made everything more palatable even though its not.
Tiramisu ($2.30 after discount) - We actually sat and waited till 9.30 pm to get the cake at half price but honestly, it wasn't worth the wait at all. Dry and lacking any rum taste whatsoever, this is hardly noticeable as tiramisu apart from its looks. Not recommended.
Eastside Brownie ($6.50) - Yet again, the dessert of choice. This time however, the brownie tasted a little too bitter and was not heated properly before it was brought out which dampened spirits a little. Still, decent when paired together with its vanilla ice cream.
Total bill for 4 people reached $56.20 after a further 10% student discount from my friend.
Definitely not somewhere for fine dining but it gets the job done. Atmosphere is as relaxed as ever and nobody chases you off at this outlet. Service is tolerable but furniture placement is still a pain as everything is still cramped. Calls for more sauce were met with slow service as well. Improvement in order but the place is still function able as a place for junk food and small gatherings.
