I usually take pictures for my reviews, I have to apologize as this time I totally forgot. I took a picture of only an empty plate after we finished eating.
I hate to smoke standing up outside the hotel, so I tried to go to The office bar in the afternoon to discover it only opens only after 17:00. It is a nice place to sit outside and enjoy a breeze of fresh air after being locked up all day inside the hotel for meetings.
The Office is an open air bar that has garden furniture, comfortable to sit and relax. The greatest advantage The Office has; is the live BBQ station and they also serve Shisha/Hooka. If you are away from home and you are missing your hubly bubbly this is the place to be. The furniture is not very practical if you are there to eat. The tables are too low, but for drinking and Shisha smoking it is very comfortable.
We ordered grilled food from the BBQ. I ordered a Sirloin Steak medium well, I wanted to make sure there is no blood in it but still moist. My work colleague selected a whole grilled fish. We also ordered two sides of French Fries.
My steak was perfectly cooked I couldn’t have asked for a better piece of cooked steak. The quality of the meat was so so… The steak itself gets a 5.5/10 but the cooking gets a 10/10. Unfortunately the Chef wasn’t as successful with the fish. I don’t know what to say?! It seemed as if the Chef grilled the fish on one side and forgot to flip it to the other side. Fish arrived cooked on one side but still raw on the other?!!! Not sure if it was the lack of lights, or the chef was just tired and simply forgot. The fish was is a disappointing Zero. My work colleague was so hungry he ate the cooked half and left the other untouched. He compensated on the fires :) Strangely enough my fries were warm and crunchy while the fries on his plate were cold and soggy?! I can’t explain that? I think it was Karma LOL!!!
Compared to the rest of the Hotel, The Office Bar is understaffed. One waiter can’t cover the service on his own. So I can’t say that the service is bad, this guy was way over stretched. There was 3 waiters in the Adrenaline Bar (less than one third the size of The Office) while in The Office Bar we had just one waiter. The Chef had to attend the BBQ and wait tables as well?!!! So maybe this was not the best day to review The Office and I would definitely give it another chance.
