I ordered the fritters and avocado salsa which came out with three fritters and just cubes of avocado with some cherry tomatoes, certainly not a salsa. After a few mouthfuls i found a 2cm long piece of plastic in my dish. The owner brushed it off as a piece from the packaging. He arranged for a second plate of fritters to come out but this serve only had 2 fritters on the plate. When we went to pay there was no discount or anything on the bill. Ive worked in hospitality so i can appreciate the fact that sometimes circumstances occur beyond control however i would appreciated at least a comped coffee for the experience.

Only positive was a friendly waitress and food came out at a reasonable time. Partner ordered a medium steak and received almost well done, extremely tough and dry as if the meat were frozen. He can normally eat anything but even this he couldn't stomach!! I had the American ribs, came as 3 chunks and 1 was mainly cartilage. Tasted decent but meat itself was again definitely not fresh. For dessert, partner had a blueberry muffin - verged on being stale. I had a piece of the mud cake that was on display and it was so dry that we couldn't finish it - easily a week old. Disappointing, but from the lack of customers (we were the only people having dinner), our expectations were low to begin with.

I was hesitant at first, having had my fair share of baked goods in the past. However, one day we ended up at Kurtosh after discovering that Albee's Kitchen was closed. At Kurtosh, the slab cakes are sliced and sold by weight, making it easy to sample a variety of flavors. While the cakes were decent, none stood out enough for me to recall their specific flavors. I believe one of them was tiramisu.
