a NON-recommendation =p

Went for dinner yesterday at Jarrod & Rawkins in One Utama (New Wing). And unfortunately I have nothing good to say about it.
Before I even go into how the food tasted and all... let me start with the service. The waiters were very blur and could not understand simple English, which is something you'll expect at a hawker centre or coffee shop but not at a place that serves at their prices (will go into that shortly). We were a group of 9 people and all our food came out with such long intervals between that we could not have our meal together. Even though some of us ordered the same thing, the first person got their meal, finished it before anyone else's meal came. The last person to get the meal was when everyone else had almost finished their meals. EVEN though the person that got the first one and the person that got the last one ordered the same thing!! Sausages & mash. How hard could that be to prepare???
Now on to the food. Their SIGNATURE dish is their sausages. It cost RM18++ and this is how it looks like:

Pathetic don't you think?? And on top of that each of our mash potatoes came cold. Yucks!!

Some of us ordered the steak (rm28++), fish & chips and pork chops (rm25++). They were dry and all were served as per the above picture, just replaced with whatever else ur having to replace the sausages. The taste was nothing to be shouted about, in actual fact I've tasted better steaks at some of those stalls which sell western food for like RM10 per set (and they even look better!!)

our feeling of the "purveyors of fine food & wine"

All in all, it was a totally unsatisfying meal. Will NEVER go back, even if someone wanted to pay for me!!
