{Service} 5/5* I went here for dine in on a Thursday night around 8pm, alone. It was quite crowded but they seated me immediately and took my order within 5 mins. My server was also very kind and professional, cleared my plates and refilled my water many times, and I had no complaints.
{Food} Wild Mushrooms $12 garlic baguette with mushrooms in Danish blue cheese sauce 4/5* first time trying blue cheese and it was kinda intense, but not bad. -1 because the flavour was a bit one-note, overwhelmingly blue cheese - I would’ve liked to taste the wild mushrooms more
Black Truffle Sacchetti $28 pasta bags (sachets) filled with ricotta and truffle, in a parmesan truffle cream sauce 4/5* the pasta was really good and balanced truffle flavour, however -1 star because the pasta sauce was extremely greasy and oily - had pools of truffle? oil? It was a bit too much for me but great if you’re a serious truffle lover.
Spinach & Goat Cheese Pizza $20 with sundried tomatoes 2/5* thin chewy crust, but pizza was quite oily and extremely salty. I could only finish one slice and took the rest home but no one liked it. also too heavy on the pizza sauce for the thin crust - it was heavy and kept drooping/falling apart. the sundried tomatoes were good. would not recommend their pizza.
Warm Brownie with Milk Chocolate Lindt ice cream $11 5/5* my fav part of the meal. gooey fudgey delicious brownie with creamy Lindt ice cream. I wanna go again specifically for this dessert. so simple but so delicious.
{Ambiance} 3/5 Nicely spaced tables but insanely loud in there. There’s no music playing either which is weird for me, at least some piano music to drown out the incessant chatter. Not a great place if you’re looking to quietly dine alone or for an intimate date, it’s too loud to hear yourself think let alone be able to talk and hear others talk haha. but they can’t help being popular!
Overall Rating: 4/5 Recommend to...
Read moreThis is the second time i visited saucys in the last month with different friends. Unfortunately i will not be back. I had the lamb, which was very nice for dinner . Had a salad with candied pecans the first time and they were doused in icing sugar. Honestly,if you can’t take the time to candy them properly then don’t offer it. The second time It was interesting as I ordered a double veg instead of a starch and What counted as double veg was one extra piece of broccoli. My friend had the exact amount of vegetables as I did except for that one piece of broccoli. This time I had the pickerel which was tasty However, it was the service that was awful. The waitress kept coming by telling us There was another reservation coming in. Half an hour before our time was up, she came over and just handed us the bill and walked away, saying that the other party had arrived and was waiting . I’m sorry, but I can’t eat my whole meal in an hour. We were going to order a coffee and dessert and maybe some more wine however We were not able to, and couldn’t even finish the wine we had because she rushed us out so quickly. I honestly have never had this experience Before and will not...
Read moreService and food quality slipping - I have been at Saucy for a number of times and found the food not as good as usual. The Caesar salad which I love with home made croutons and chunks of crispy bacon was way too garlicky. Ended up getting heartburn. The rainbow trout which tasted very good was swimming in a pool of butter and maple sauce; totally unnecessary. They definitely did not skimp out on the seafood in the spaghettini. While it was delicious, I think it would be even better in a simple oil and garlic sauce and removing the cream. The cream makes it a heavy dish, especially for summer. Maybe next time I will ask for a simpler sauce.
As for the service, the waitress came by often however as the night was getting darker we we're eating in the dark until the lights were eventually turned on to a very low setting. Although there were tealights on the table, they were never lit. It is not the usual service I'm used to there. It was unfortunate as I brought two people who had never been there and I don't think they were...
