Resurect the Titantic!
Tuesday, July 05, 2005
Last Sunday we sat at the counter waiting for acknowledgement and menus, giving us time to read the paper and absorb the changes since it had been Titantic Cafe.
Most of the character has been modernized away.
Several guests entered the restaurant hoping to have brunch, but were ignored, so they left. The lack of music added to the tense vibe.
Our food arrived, exhibiting the same monochromatic tone as the decor. Although proficiently cooked and arranged, there was no color to excite one's interest. And the taste didn't stray from this theme. The potatoes, although of good quality, weren't browned or crisp, which is what makes a good hash. Finally,The large portions couldn't compensate for the dullness of the dishes. They didn't even serve toast.
So we left Canteen, feeling full but unfullfilled, and not having any good reasons to return, wished that the Titantic Cafe hadn't sunk.
Pros: big portions
Cons: bland atmosphere, bland food
