What Amara Howe doesn't like about Vanilla Bean Cafe and Restaurant:
confusing menu. I was in vanilla a few times. some dishes are in order, but I had a few of which I really didn't think much. the bruschetta is long stripes of tomato soaked (as really softened) in balsamico vinegar on soggy brot pieces. her creamy chicken prawn pasta is quite bland and tastes simple, fat instead of pampering.

The restaurant in question has received a range of reviews when it comes to both the food and service. Some diners have found certain dishes to be confusing or overpriced, while others have thoroughly enjoyed the meals, particularly highlighting the gluten-free options and the massaman curry. Service seems to be a mixed bag, with some customers praising the friendly staff while others have found it lacking compared to previous experiences. However, the restaurant has adapted well to COVID-19 restrictions, offering home delivery and ensuring safe dining conditions. Overall, the restaurant seems to have its ups and downs, but is worth a visit for those looking for unique and delicious Thai cuisine in Bathurst.
