It’s sad that such an esteemed hotel would have such bad service.We had to wait for our glasses to be given back in order to get the second round of Champagne because they had no more glasses.Very poor customer experience and looks like we were allocated trainee waiters.
I visited March Restaurant for Valentines Day, I was greeted by the sound of an amateur saxophonist, it didn’t really create a great atmosphere as it sounded like he was practising rather than performing. We opted for the 7 course set menu, the amuse was decent but the meal took a nose dive at the starter when I was served an overcooked under seasoned piece of kingclip, the flavours of the dish were unbalanced and left me feeling a bit nauseous, I can only describe this as an insult to my palate. The mushroom soup arrived, only for me to find out that it was so heavily salted that I almost thought it was a bowl of sea water, once again the flavours just missed the target. The main course was duck that was again overly seasoned, much too salty and a bit dry, the entire dish lacked balance. A champagne & berry ‘sorbet’ was then served, now my biggest concern with this ‘sorbet’ was that it was dairy based and it was basically a cold running liquid, completely missed the mark on that one! It was also over sweetened. During the meal we ordered 2 Tom Collins cocktails, when it arrived at the table, both looked different in color, I had to send it back twice. I had hope that dessert would save the day but that too contained melted ice cream and sorbet, it just completely failed. The table clothes were frayed, which kinda looked like something you’d find in Fordsburg. The best thing about the meal was the glass of champagne served at the beginning. The manager didn’t even know how to handle the complaints and just ended up doing nothing so he tried to avoid eye contact. Overall this was a serevely underwhelming experience, at the price point that they have set themselves, they just can’t keep up. The flavors of the food and cocktails are terribly unbalanced and I can only assume that the chef is either very inexperienced or just doesn’t know what he’s doing. The look of the restaurant is really beautiful but everything else fails to keep up, the devil is in the detail and they’ve completely missed that mark. I really hope you guys can get it together but I’m not going to willing return to this restaurant in a hurry. Being set in a 5 star hotel really begs the question of appearance vs reality and those two are worlds apart in this case.
