Lynch's

Lovely position. Usually great service. We chose a salad from the bistro menu. It was described as a chicken salad with a mixed herb salad in a citrus dressing. What arrived was a small plate of mint leaves, some brown, and perhaps 4 sprigs of coriander. The chicken, about half a breast, was hot, tasteless and dry. We noticed that the salad had no dressing. We were corrected by the waitress who told us that there was dressing and that the dressing was "very light and healthy". The leaves were dry. We asked for more dressing and were served a bowl of chicken stock (hot!). When we told him that it was hot chicken stock he returned with another bowl of chicken stock with the addition of fish sauce... what a joke! A pity the waitress was so rude, the manager's response inadequate and the food appalling. The chicken salad cost $19.90

I went to Lynch with my hubby for dinner on a busy Friday. Although the deco was bit old fashioned, the restaurant's atmosphere was nice and warm. The service was really proper and smooth. As I worked in the hospitality industry before, I was really impressed by the proper service! Why didn't we experience nice service in all restaurants?

The food was good, although some dishes were better than others. For entree, I had the rabbit broth (special of the day), which were rich, deep and luxurious. My hubby had baked oysters with leek cream and cheese, which were nice but not too special. We also got some mushroom broth as complimentary from the chef and it was really good!

For main, I ordered venison pie with baked fig and tiny amount of mashed potatoes. A very nice dish indeed. Really love the buttery pastry, the sweet gamy meat and the airy mashed potatoes! My hubby had the special of the day, waygu steak with chips and onion sauce ($55). Not to his standard since he thought the steak should stand out a bit more.

For desserts, I ordered the old-fashioned cream brulee with poached peach. Just so so. But my hubby had the best dessert we experienced sticky date pudding with butterscotch sauce and prune & armagnac ice cream. A masterpiece! Really well done, the flavours combo is just out of this world. Note that the pudding was from the signature dish menu so next time I am just gonna stick to that menu!

Recommended for diners! Just try to leave some room for desserts. They are of large size in my opinion!
