Enrik's Restaurant

We arrived late one weekend to find a hens night in progress.  ET & I were seated for several minutes and with menus closed, still had to wait a while before our orders were taken. Once they were, we were told it would be a 20 minute wait and suggested we order entrees.

As suggested, we ordered cheese bread.  But the plate put in front of us was garlic bread.  ET & I looked at each other and back down to the plate.  Yep, it was garlic bread alright.  The waitress returned to apologise.  Apparently they mixed our order up with another table.  They offered to bring us the cheese bread but it was late and we were hungry and since we had already tucked in, we declined the offer.

We were then served our mains while I was still eating the last of the garlic bread.  There was by no means a 20 minute wait for the mains, so we were left wondering whether the suggestion to order entrees while we waited was just a con.

ET wasn't any happier once he started tucking into the dish.  Having ordered his steak, then being told a few minutes later that it was actually unavailable, ET was already disappointed.  And is it just me, or do the vegetables seem a little lacking in quantity??

I ordered the chicken off the dairy-free menu.  It was a little dry and a tiny bit pink in some places.  However I liked the fact that they served it with a mix of potato and sweet potato chips.

Upon leaving, they apologised again for not having the steak that was originally ordered and the mix up with the bread.  Which, thankfully, they did not charge us for.

I'm not so sure if we'll be back any time soon.  One thing though - kudos to for providing a gluten AND dairy free menus.  It's something I've never seen before and wish more restaurants would do it.
