When my friend suggested coming here for dinner, the name got me super excited. OVOCAFE? Is this restaurant affiliated with Drake? Jokes aside, the OVO refers to ovo vegetarianism... I think. The restaurant gets quite packed by 7:30PM. We were lucky to snag one of the last tables. We ordered two dishes to share - the veggie burger with nachos ($98) and the porcini mushroom risotto ($118). The risotto reminds me of the kind of pasta you can get in an HK style cafe, you know, the kind that tastes

We ordered two dishes to share - the veggie burger with nachos ($98) and the porcini mushroom risotto ($118). The risotto reminds me of the kind of pasta you can get in an HK style cafe, you know, the kind that tastes okay but somehow feels a bit lacking compared to more western style restaurants. I mean, it wasn't bad, but was it worth $118? Definitely not.
The burger was a lot better. Cheaper too, surprisingly. It's actually quite a huge portion (unlike the ridiculous fist-sized veggie burgers you can get at The Butcher's Club...) and tasted really good. However, I'm not sure if they should really say it comes with "nachos". It was more like a handful of doritos with sour cream.
Overall, the decor is really nice and the food is not bad, especially the burger.
But the service could be be better. My friend had a corporate discount which she forgot to use when she paid for the meal (it's the kind of restaurant where you pay at the counter but they will bring the food to your table). When she realized this, she went back to the cashier right away but they said it's too late to get the discount. Now, I'm no expert on POS systems but I'm sure there's probably a way to either edit or delete and re-do the transaction. Anyway, there's no denying that it was our fault for forgetting the discount. However their attitude could've been better. Also, when I brought back some empty plates from our table, the staff at the counter seemed annoyed with me. Um, I'm actually helping you guys clear the tables, but okay.
Might come back for the burger.
