overhyped and underdelivered

PS Café is super crowded. And, because they take no reservations, this is one place that really redefines the idea of brunch, in that you gotta wake up real early and be there by 10 am to get a table. To me, eating at 10 am on a weekend does not count as brunch. That's considered breakfast. But clearly, the early bird does get the worm. Around here at least. So if you love sleeping in, be prepared to wait it out, like those poor sods we saw fanning themselves by the outdoor patio in the muggy heat of Singapore, for a table to open up.
I can't understand the fuss about PS Café though. The food's plainly unimpressive and service is flustered and harried.
We had:
1) Portobello Stack ($24): barely passable. The brioche is nothing like Wild Honey's thick buttery toasties. These actually seemed like toasted white bread. The poached eggs, while done to a good semi-runny consistency, was disappointingly tasteless. Even with the drizzle of balsamic reduction. Save for the juicy, pesto-topped grilled tomatoes and deconstructed potato gratin, which was more pancake than gratin anyway, the bacon and portobello were standard, unmemorable fare
2) PS Bacon & Eggs ($27) was an epic fail with its evidently overfried-to-a-rubbery-state eggs. The baked beans were of the generic canned variety and the toast forgettable. Only the chorizo sausage, grilled tomatoes and streaky bacon were worth eating, which isn't saying much, seeing as they require little effort in grilling them

very poor service and bad policy
12 May 2013It's a bad policy to mandate "one dish per person". What if I want to share a dish with a friend? In addition to this the manager was extremely rude and would not let us order 3 dishes for four people

One of the best eating places in Dempsey
29 Apr 2013Had been to a number of branches and still love the one at Harding. The whole eating experience with a view of the greens is in my opinion very tranquil its an escape from the noisy city.
The food I have to say never disappoint me. I ordered a PS Caesar to share with my girlfriend. The portion is huge in my opinion and I kind of regret ordering it as I thought we were able to finish it. As usual it is difficult to screw up a Caesar, but I especially love the bacon which was very crispy and the honey dijon chicken was not dry but really succulent and tasty.
My girlfriend ordered a PS Bolognaise while I had PS Fish and Chips and a Turkey Cranberry to share. The bolognaise according to my girlfriend whom is an avid cook is one of the better ones that she had ate from so many restaurants she tried. She even say they were giving her a run for her money and she always claim to make the best bolognaise in town. The Fish and Chips on the other hand pale in comparison. It was recommended by the waiter which I thought was a pretty poor recommendation. The fish and chips is really nothing worth mentioning, it was pretty normal to me. But nevertheless it was not horrible. The turkey cranberry was really good infact. the turkey was not as dry as I usually anticipate turkey meat to be dry. The cranberry jam was impeccably tasty. It is not too sour and not overly sweet. Just a perfect touch.
We did not finished the food, not because the food was not nice but we were just too full and we really wanted to have dessert. The double choc blackout cake was what we ordered. It is a to die to for cake. Awfully sinful but its worth to commit this sin!!!
Overall the food to me is fantastic, more hits than misses.The waiters were not very attentive which is my only complaint. But I figure out it is because it was a busy day.
