Teakyard — Restaurant in Java

In 1 location with Grandis Barn, with the resto position at the back.

In term of location, quite nice scenery with the deers, fish pond (able to see a few small fishes), and yard. An outdoor playground is available, gving the children some joys to be in it.

Outdoor and indoor seating (about 60-70 seats) available. Indoor has brick walls and large windows. We sat indoor but since we came in the afternoon, it was quite hot. Noticed quite a few flies. Unavoidable when there are animals nearby.

As for the food, their menu does not have pictures. Better asked the waitress for some food description. Lamb kofta is good and suprisingly a good size meal. Salmon with risotto - risotto was soft, good enough to be eaten by toddler. Salad dressing need to get adjusted too but it was personal preference, I do not like beets but I ate for the sake of health benefits 😆. Pumpkin soup, even though was small portion, it was good. Liked the garlic croutons.

Drinks we ordered lots of berries (too much whipped cream), zero sangria (need more 😁😁 portion too small), black tea, jamu, and detok drink. Jamu was good.

They also sell carrots for the deers and turkey, @5k per bag. Be careful when feeding the turkey, it grabbed the carrot quickly like a thunder. The deers were a lot calmer. Lots of flies.

Washroom was clean. 2 for men and 2 for women. 4 hand washing westafel.

They sell bags made from woven plastic. Quite a few have nice models. Check them out when you are here...or why not buy a few?

Overall...Pricewise not too bad for mediterranian food. Food size not too bad. Some drink can be made bigger in size.

We were told the menu was a soft opening menu. So hopefully they have much more in store and are able to update the menu with some pics.

Oh you can park in the back, don't feel the need to walk from Grandis Barn unless you want to enjoy the scenery and take pictures along...

Finally, I found a good place to eat in Solo that could combine the cozy and beautiful set up with the food perfectly.

Beautiful place for the whole family. A semi outdoor place complete with a playground for your kids. They even have a small feeding zoo with deers and turkeys (if I'm not mistaken). Great atmosphere. And it's clean!

Now, the food. I must say I was amazed with their small but very well-thought menu. The amount of the choices was just perfect. Not too overwhelming that it gives you headache in deciding which item to order.

We ordered Hummus as Appetizer. The taste brought me back to 2003 when I first tried Hummus. That time my Hummus was cooked by A Morrocan Chef. This one came really close to what I tasted that time. Delicious.

The other thing that we ordered was Pan Seared Salmon with Risotto. That Salmon was seared perfectly. The skin was so crispy even after half an hour, rested on the plate because I didn't eat it right away. The Salmon was still juicy even though they managed to make the skin crispy. The risotto was well-seasoned. Not too creamy and not too dry as well. It was delicious.

We also ordered Creamy Carbonara, Neapolitan Margherita Pizza, Beef Kebab, Frech Fries and Apple Crumble. My family said they taste wise they were all great. My only concern was with the Pizza. The Mozzarella cheese didn't stick with dough. They fell apart everytime you pick the pizza up. Too bad because the taste was nice

4 Stars for the F&B. That mozzarella has caused them 1 star.

The other thing that deserves the good review was their service. Thumbs up to the servers.

Great...

Seats are comfy, services aren’t good at all. We’ve ordered before a new customer came, but they got it first. They didn’t reserved before. We got scolded by our parents, because the services are so LOW LOW LOW LOW quality. When our food came, they didn’t gave us utensils. We’ve been starving and waited for so long. Cayden, if you read this tell your dad to be ask his employees better at serving people and time managing, it took us 20+ minutes for a drink and almost 1 hour for food and only 1 came. I wrote this to ask this restaurant to improve their employees. Me and my friends aren’t very patience, okay? Do you want me to throw tantrums everywhere just to get served? Hah? Gimana? Kita tadi minta 3 sendok terus pas teguran ke 3-4 baru dikasih kayak gimana gitu lo? Iya tau rame tapi kan atleast serve us before the NEW customers. Maybe I’m still a kid, but I can think better than these adults. AND every places OUTDOOR smells like animals’ poop....
