Recently I have been reviewing a few rooftop restaurants. The one that I am reviewing now is also on a
rooftop with a fairly nice view of the city.
Being on top of a seven stories building, precisely a location of the “Mini”
Auto Showroom on Ekamai Road. The Garret
Secret Bistro Bar was named Secret Bistro Bar probably because if you didn’t
know this spot, you wouldn’t find it, I guess.
This place is located right next to the Fuzio, which is an Italian
restaurant. The Garret is actually an
All-American restaurant. However, the
two restaurants do share menu. So you
can basically order food from the Fuzio while enjoying the view of the Garret,
or vice versa. Though both places have
similar views, they are just in different direction, so you can take your pick
as you want.
The Garret is like any other westernized restaurants. It offers a special lunch menu. Mostly the Lunch Set is the attraction due to
the budgeted price. We came here for the
lunch at lower prices. The price is
reasonable for a foreign operated restaurant, 390 Baht total. Selections here are quite a variety. Details of the menu for both lunch and
dinner, you will find in the tab menu. I
have already input for you all to see as you wish.
There were three of us at this lunch. We order four sets; three sets were from the
Garret and the other one was from the Fuzio (Lunch set from Fuzio was 450
Baht). Our appetizers were the Rocket
Salad with smoked Salmon, Salmon Nachos, Popcorn shrimps, and the last one I
can’t quite recall. Out of these four
appetizers, the Popcorn shrimps were good to a western standard I’d say. Others were just plain boring. They only made us feel less hungry. That was it.
Main dishes followed right after the appetizers. The first of four was the Angel Hair with
Garlic Confit Chili Oil, which confused me how the Garret @ Ekamai could do the
angel hair so wrong. They were overdone
and stuck together to a ball and flavored with Garlic oil that had no taste; they
failed on this dish. Second was the
Quesadillas (Mexican Tortas laid flat with stuffing), which was just not
delicious. I mean it was just okay. The reason we ordered this one was because it
was recommended. The other two dishes
were the Garret Lamb Burger and Rib Eye Steak.
Both failed miserably. The burger
looked cheap. I know I can’t compare to a
la carte Burgers elsewhere. Perhaps my
standard of Burger is high because my experience from places such as
Hyde&Seek, 99 Rest, Iron Fairies, or Hard Rock. But they could have done better. As well as the Rib Eye Steak, we ordered
Medium Rare and it came more than Well-done. I can’t stand my steak being too cooked. And I could tell that they didn’t use quality meat.
Well, after the disappointment from the both courses we still
wanted to give them a chance on their desserts.
So we each ordered one (90 Baht addition to the Lunch set). The ending desserts couldn’t do it for us at
this western joint. The impression was
no better than the core dishes; plain, okay, and not so good. A bit of frustration for all of us here at
the Garret American Bistro
Our lunch at the Garret @ the MINI showroom, Ekamai was somewhat dissatisfying. We couldn’t find any deliciousness in the
food here. Besides the good views, there
was nothing stood out. All in all, the
atmosphere could not do the job; the food is definite more essential. So if you don’t care for the greatness of the
food too much and just want to enjoy the view, they you can give it a try. For me, this would be my last.
