That expression sums it up...The place is nice with tents erected around the poolside protecting beautifully covered tables and chairs from the elements. Cool breeze accentuated by ceiling fans and appropriate music enhancing the ambiance.
Numerous food stalls were scattered around the vicinity. Each offering a plethora of food from roast lamb to satay to tempura and grilled fish. This is where the fault lies. It may have the variety but the quality is seriously lacking. None of the food that my group tasted stood out. Each reveals some fault or other. The roast lamb was tough, the accompanying sauce has no distinct taste which led us to argue whether its black pepper or mushroom. The udang sambal petai has old prawns which breaks up easily as you peel them. Even the spinach soup was overly salty with an unpleasant seafood aftertaste. The only thing that got positive response was the drinks and that because everyone was thirsty...
Personally for me the most disappointing was the fact that for the price we were paying, we did not get premium items that I would expect from other similar outlets. No salad bar, no smoked salmon or cold meats, not even an olive or capers were in sight. What we get is common hawker fare which did not even meet the standards of what was charged. Its not cheap, after the plus plus were added it came to RM89.00 per person. A real waste of money. Pity as there were a lot of chefs milling about the stations yet their talents were let down by the less than optimum ingredients.
Definitely NOT recommended.
