Customer Reviews
This is what i would consider a true hidden gem. Great location, a wide variety of food and drinks(both alcoholic and non-alcoholic)and the staff is just amazing! Great service overall. The sits are more functional than aesthetically pleasing, but hey that's not a deal breaker for me. It's almost always never crowded which is a huge plus for me!
I went to get lunch, and the menu was budget friendly... the stuff was friendly .I ordered mango and prawns salad .....came with a chilly sauce on the side....the meal was fresh and delicious....it contained lettuce,cashews,chillies,prawns(raw) ,cucumber, mangoes and soba noodles....the customer service was amazing
Lovely spot with seating on a deck that looks out to trees and nature. Very relaxing and calm. Food was simple and fine. A burger is a burger. Can't complain. Service was excellent. I would definitely go again for a simple chilled brunch. :-))
I am a supporter of creative food interpretations. It may sometimes be good and it may sometimes be not so good. I appreciate chefs/cooks that take creative license to adapt dishes to local palates. I am fully aware that my favorite hibiscus margarita might not be available in Mexico City, nor would my sriracha topped prawn tempura sushi roll appear in Osaka. Craving something umami, I ordered a takeaway chicken pad thai from The Arbor. I have ordered the chicken laksa twice and it's phenomenal. So my reasonable expectation was that the pad thai would hit the mark. Regretfully, the presence of noodles, separately packed sliced omelette and crushed peanuts was where the similarity to pad thai ended. What was prepared for me was essentially a soy-based noodle stir-fry with mushrooms. While the dish was tasty, I do take issue with the labelling. I would suggest the menu name be adjusted to reflect the actual dish (noodle stir-fry) or The Arbor refers to any one of 1000 recipes on Pinterest for an ingredient list.
