unique

All girls night out yesterday. All 8 of us managed to meet at the same time at the same place, too bad we didn’t pick another place. We went to Elisabeth, a restaurant on Elisabeth street in Soho, that on the outside looks like a really cool place. Even going in, through the restaurant to the back yard, I felt impressed. Black, leather, silver and red velvet. Sound like a bad pornmovie? Well it wasn’t. It was cool and right, and I was this close to stealing one of the lamps by the front door. It was black with a scull for a foot. Really nice!

Now to the bad thing: the food and the service. I know that pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? The food wasn’t that mindblowingly overpriced but the size of the portions sure implicated that this was a 5 star place. Tiny, pretentious portions that wasn’t as good as they should have been when not making you full. If it’s small then it should at least be great.

Another really bad thing was the service. The staff didn’t know what they were doing which resulted in 1 bottlet of wine dissapearing when we all went out for a cigarette. Being a non- smoker, I usually always stay at the table watching everyones bags, but this time I didn’t and the staff removed the bottle without even owning up to it when we confronted them. Nothing complimentary or even an apology. Extremely unproffesional so we didn’t tip them. Right or wrong, we didn’t care.

So I’m not going to recommend this place for anything. Well maybe the nice interior and the cozy back yard. So if you go there you’ll do best in just staying at the bar, drinking yourself full, because the food or the service sure won’t satisfy you.
