laughable

This was possibly the worst lunch I have ever had the misfortune to have ordered. There goats' cheese tart was off as therre was no goats' cheese, the hummus wasn't available and they had no chick peas in to make any. The 'Italian Bread' was cheap brown sliced from any supermarket (not even tasty brown bread let alone 'Italian'). As compensation for not having the ingredients available, we were offered another side dish on the house; the 'Italian toasted bread topped with mozzarella and caramelized onions' was - yes you guessed it - a brown bap (as italian as I am or maybe less) topped with plenty of onions but the cheese was minimal and not mozzarella that I know it. My husband ordered a Greek salad that not only comprised poor quality ingredients (pitted olives in brine, minimal feta, basic salad leaves, no bread although maybe that was a blessing) but was so sparse in quantity that he had to ask whether it was a main course or a starter. To cap it all, we were also brought a plate of 'Italian breads with balsamic and olive oil' that, not only did we not order, but again lacked the mediterranean ingredient one would ecpect (I don't think I need to clarify, do I). We managed to avoid paying for the latter but I wish we'd never even gone there. And in case you were wondering, we won't be going back. The previous cafe here, Mos, was wonderful. Don't confuse it with the current abomination.
