Comfortable cafe at HV

Been trying to avoid going to 211 for many years but was finally persuaded to go. Ate there when they opened and it wasn't interesting, it was pretentious Italian / Western fare. Has improved a bit but still uncertain how to classify it.

Food: Had a pasta and riso dish. Both used the same ingredients: squid pieces, large prawns, and blue mussels. Was hoping to get some clams but no chance. Did it qualify as seafood - yes but Italian dishes without clams !!?? Both were tasty but a really heavy hand with the full cream.

Ambience: Comfortable but noisy. Need to sit outisde - hey, but I'm Singaporean who needs aircon.

Value: Reasonable if you use the DBS card. Kena pay $3.30 for a Sprite and $4 for a cranberry juice which was part of the offer from DBS one for one but buy two drinks deal.

Service: Friendly by disorganised. Lots of smiles but not well trained as waiters.

 
Must Tries: Nothing outstanding

What's Not To Like ?

I'm quite surprised at all the dismal reviews I've read about this place . I love coming here to eat for dinner. Not too crowded and not too ulu .

Service ain't all that but it's a cafe not a friggin 12 star restaurant. Honestly, what do you expect ? For me, the service is adequate.

I highly recommend the spaghetti vongole. At $16 you get a ginormous portion with enough clams to keep you happy. The pasta is cooked al dente and the zhup is superb ! Lots of garlic and chilli. Smells like heaven. This coming from someone who ordinarily does not eat shellfish.

Asked for additional rice in the seafood risotto and they did so (quite alot I might add cos have eaten previously and the portion at that time was pathetic) at no extra charge ! That's service for you ! Costs $17.50. It's oozy and cheesy.

Pizzas are not recommended. Rather dry. And don't order coke - It always tastes chlorinated (!) to me. Maybe something wrong with the machine ??

Perhaps it's a good thing the reviews are bad, less crowded for me when I go !

nice ambience

first time been there is went i'm still a poly student going there with my friend, nothing special for me to remember this place and the food. A colleague of mine pass me a starhub voucher 1 for 1, so thinking of giving it a try.

Took a lift up, no one was there except 3 customer at the end, we walked in finding a table for ourself. The staff notice us and pass us the menu and just left without letting us know the soup of the day and i can't be bother to call him back. So we order beef lasagne and chicken basil pizza. When thinking of what to eat i pass the voucher to my friend so that later he can present to him and he jus place it at the table. When we order, the service staff just took the voucher away and we tot we misplace it. Forget about it.

Food wise, Beef lasagne too dry, no cheese the only thing that save the dish is the sauce. The chicken basil pizza crust too hard, the meat too little only in the middle part, taste wise is ok.. with the portion they give i dun think it worth it.

bad service

had a pretty bad experience eating here today. i've always enjoyed this little cafe tucked in the corner of holland village shopping centre and the ambience is always tops for me.

however, the service today was atrocious. so much has changed since the last time i came a few months ago. seems that 90% of the staff are foreigners and i wonder if they can even speak english. we were served by a filipino man who basically didn't seem to know anything. perhaps it's his first day on the job, but the bad experience did not stop there.

when paying the bill, the waitress claimed that the phone lines for my citibank credit card were jammed. i offered my hsbc credit card and she claimed hsbc was jammed too. i asked her if the whole of singapore credit card phone lines were jammed and she only smiled.

so i said since i can't use my credit cards which give me a discount, would they still give me a discount? we then got into an argument with myself basically saying that it is the restaurant's fault that they can't seem to dial the credit card line and she blaming the credit card company for having a busy phoneline. i think it's total bull sh*t that both hsbc and citibank can have busy phonelines at the same time.

it's obviously the restaurant's fault and they should offer the affected customers the discount nonetheless. i definitely won't be going back to dine there.

Nice Ambience, Not-so-nice Food

When I first stepped into the place with my friends, we were at a lost. Should we just walk in and try to find a waiter/waitress, or should we wait at the entrance that doesnt inform us to 'Pls wait to be seated'.

Despite the bad start, I was still pretty much won over by the ambience. The torches used to replace lightings reminds me of Survivor.

We ordered Nachos, Spaghetti Vongole, Beef Lasagne and others which I couldn't remember as the food wasn't fantastic.

The Beef Lasagne is very very dry and hard, you could hardly taste the cheese. The Spaghetti Vongole is very bland without a trace of White Wine sauce at all. Even though they gave a lot of clams, but the taste is just not right.

As compared to many other places, the food here is just not great.

Service wise is quite bad too. The waiter is not knowledgable and he kept asking us to repeat what we just ordered, which is quite frustrating.
