Restaurant: Tank

For a while, tank was one of my favourite restaurants. Unfortunately, lot has changed since then. And there has been gradual deterioration for about 3 years now.

Where Tank has slipped:

  • The ostrich was very boring
  • The beef fillet is good (cooked well), but nothing compared to the one with the wasabi mashed potato that they used to do
  • The service, although cheerful, is not as professional as it used to be
  • It is still pricey
  • The restaurant is dead during the week where it once was more vibey and popular
  • There were inconsistencies with the cutlery - some people had different knives to others on the same table
  • The fish tank was in serious need of a clean
  • The wine is very expensive (but also delicious)
  • There were broken taps in the bathroom and some plants were removed from the bathroom
  • They really should not expect you to pour your own latte and then add too much milk! This is a major no-no. It takes skill to pour a perfect latte with layers and then to take it to a table without messing it up. I would expect at least that level of skill from a restaurant of this caliber.

Upsides:
  • There is no television in the restaurant area
  • Delicious wine
  • The sushi is amazing, especially when there is Yellowtail
  • The decor is still good
  • Food presentation on the plate is good
  • The location is convenient and pleasing to visit
I hope that this restaurant is going to improve and not go belly-up! For old times sake and the memory of the delicious food and excellent service they used to provide.
