WOAP: Arizona for Lunch

After the chocolate festival we decided to go and have lunch at Arizona, since it is right next to the Intercon and they had a pretty good lunch deal on for Wellington on A Plate. Their deal was $15.00 for a two course lunch. For a starter they had flat bread with yoghurt dip, which was really, really average. It would have been nice if they served the bread seperately as well (as what you see is for two people and who said I wanted to share? Huh?). The bread was soggy and very uninspired. It also would have been really nice if the waiter PLACED the plate on the table instead of THROWING it down on the table and saying "here's your bread". Not even explaining that the ONE plate was to suffice for TWO servings. Dick.

Moving on to the main. You had a choice of roast chicken or cajun fish. My flatmate decided to get the chicken so I got the fish just to be different. Now, I usually make my own cajun fish at home. Basically I get a fillet, rub it down with olive oil, a little salt and pepper and cajun spices. A LOT of cajun spices. All in all the fish was underwhelming - I wasn't impressed but nor was I disappointed. My flatmate noted that the chicken was cooked really well and made for a well rounded lunch. I had a bit of food envy there. My highlight would have been that the fish was cooked well -  not too dry, which is always a risk you run when ordering fish.

Jeff-wah got the burger that they had on offer which was a venison burger (from memory) which I THINK was $15.00? Served on a sourdough bun with fries Jeff was really impressed with it that he even commented about it to the waitress at the counter when we paid our bill.

Overall I would give Arizona a pat on the back for trying really hard but I would also give them a kick up the bum for their service being all over the show. They're lucky I was too lazy to fill out a comment card.

Come on, vamanos!
