We traveled to Ubud for the day and asked our driver for a lunch recommendation. He obviously got a great commission and a free meal for taking unsuspecting tourists here! We should have turned around and walked away immediately!
1st clue - parking lot full of tour guide vans and parking attendants directing traffic.
2nd clue - restaurant full of rich looking camera toting tourists with tour guides carrying color flags to keep their groups together.
I ordered Nasi Campur and it was served ice box cold - like they took a prepared plate out of the fridge and sent it out. I sent it back and the waitress tried to explain that it was served that way. I ate a lot of Nasi Campur while in Bali and I can tell you it's meant to be served hot. The waitress was rude and refused to budge on whether or not it was meant to be cold and finally asked if I'd like something else. I ordered the Chicken Satey thinking they'd at least be warm, and they were, marginally. My partner ordered Nasi Goring and he said it was ok but nothing to write home about. There was an additional charge for rice with my Chicken Satey. Had I known I would have declined it as I took two bites and stopped eating it. It was barely warm as well.
Items were not cleared from our table or others. A strong breeze knocked an empty beer bottle off a neighboring table shattering it at our feet. We swept it up as best we could and eventually our waitress came by and made a half-hearted attempt to gather the glass shards.
When my partner paid our bill our rude waitress asked him if he would need his change back. Seriously?
The restaurant and grounds are beautiful however that does not make up for inedible food, rip off pricing, and stomach issues. Within a few minutes of leaving the restaurant I started having tummy troubles (the only troubles I had in a week of eating in Bali). I contacted the restaurant regarding this however never heard back from them.
Do yourself a favor and stay away!!!
