It happened to be my actual Birthday and we decided to brave the new world order and try and eat out.  After all the earthquakes not many places were open = so this seemed a good a place as any.
We also aimed for a place where you paid for the food on the plate - and not so much for the size of the plate with a teeny mini artistic expression of 3 bites heaped on top of each other.

Anyhow - the garlic bread arrived in good time. It proofed to be a bit of a disappointment.
For a place that prides itself in relaxed but classy atmosphere the presentation was urm - well, urm - well below par. Who needs to see the butter stains on the timber - especially when everything else is geared for 1st class.
Quantity wise - there could have been another 2 slices of Garlic bread, the 4 presented where small-ish and disappeared rather quickly and left us wanting for more. The bread itself did have the advertized melted cheese and herbs - from Garlic itself only a little taste.  The most disappointing aspect though was that even though the cheese was nicely melted - by the time it arrived on our table, it was Luke-warm - at best - to the point of almost being cold
The rest of the meal was reasonably nice and filling, even if you saw more plate then food.  In terms of Garlic bread - which we review here - I'd say it was over all very poor and we had better in many other places.
