I almost never write reviews and very rarely get pissed off in restaurants, but here goes.

I went there after the gym - I was exhausted and wanted a quick meal to feel better. I ordered the 40 RMB smoothie with "milk, banana, honey, and wheat", as it says on the menu. For that price, I expected a huge smoothie that is basically a meal in itself, like you would get in Element Fresh for instance. Instead, I got a very narrow glass that contained next to nothing. And I do smoothies at home every days, so from the taste and texture, I know there was about 1/5 of a banana, 1/4 of a cereal bar, a half tablespoon of honey and lots of ice in that smoothie. For 20 kuai in a Chinese place, why not, but for 40 kuai in an American joint, I expected a bit better than that to say the least.

I then got a Zone Burger which to be honest was quite good (at 80 RMB it better be).

But my girlfriend "enjoyed" a 100 RMB (!) salmon "salad" - 4 pieces of salmon and plenty of salad leaves - but no onion, no tomatoes, no olive oil, no nothing else.

Won't be back.

I graced Blue Frog on Tongren Lu this last Sunday evening at 6pm, there were seven guests in total including ourselves, nine visible staff in the downstairs section.
The staff were more concerned with milling around the far end of the bar than being attentive, the music was far too loud for the number of patrons.

Pray tell why promote specials, take the order for onion soup and find out 20 minutes later that it’s not available? Then suggest the mushroom soup, which was like dishwater with flotsam of uncooked garlic flakes on the surface, which was returned, and thankfully taken off the bill. The Pork ribs were chewy as old leather.

When asked to change the sauté potatoes on the Cod Dish (please look up the recipe on how to cook sauté potatoes correctly) for mashed potato, no cannot. But we can give you a side order of mashed potatoes, (which was served with meat gravy) for the Cod dish?

Chaps, I know your only a Bar / Grill, but please have someone pay attention to details, for the devil is in the detail.
