My experience yesterday was appalling, so much so that I felt the need to come here and discuss it.

I ordered a 3 course lunch set:
1. Tuna Tartare - ingredients were decent, not the freshest, but edible. The miso dressing was too salty for my taste, but that's just me.
2. Pan Roasted Fillet of Cod - - a VERY misleading name to the dish. Check out my photo below. See that bowl of pasta? See the cherry tomato? See the 2 pieces of fish SMALLER than half a piece of cherry tomato? That's my fillet of cod. Imagine you're on the Keto, thought you're getting some protein for lunch but instead is met with big plate of squid-ink pasta with a side of bread. That's just fraud.
The worst part is that the whole dish was bland. The pasta water was under-salted, so the basis of this dish is already ruined. The whole thing was so flat and so tasteless that the piece of pea shoot atop the dish pretty much over-powered everything.
3. Ginger Creme Brulee - nothing was bruleed. It a bowl of cream with sugar crystals on top. definitely not a redeeming quality to my disastrous main course.
Maybe other dishes were better, right? Nope.
Steak is pretty difficult to screw up, so my friend ordered the angus beef, medium rare. When she cut into it, it did appear to be red, but how could it be so hard to chew? She offered me a piece, and it tasted burnt despite there being no blackened charring. It was also very under-seasoned, lacking not only salt, but even the taste of beef.
The food here was so bad I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Why is Oolaa still in business?
I am baffled.
