Gladstone Hotel Cafe

2.5 Star
This is Gladstone Hotel Café… My dinner mates definitely a little confused by where we were really eating… Not Gladstone Café across the street…
Nicely decorated with perfect lighting! And for the night we were there, the menu is the same as the Melody Bar next door so we opted to dine here since there was a huge party going on at Melody Bar.
Our food took a long time to arrive. I almost thought our waitress forgot to put my order through. But it was a Saturday night I do understand that the kitchen can be overwhelmed!
We shared:
Pok Pok Wings ($ 15)
— No, this is not the Pok Pok Wings I had in Portland…
— No, my wings were not burnt! Those black things are Ancho-​Chipotle rub
— No, they were not spicy or hot but quite savory
Lamb Shank ($ 22) and Short Rib ($ 24)
— Fall off the bone tenderness for both dishes
— Sadly I found the sides were more interesting: taste, texture and ingredients
— Both lamb and beef tasted really bland and boring
Gladstone Hotel Café is quite decent if you are here for a drink or meet up with friends. The setting is quite cozy and inviting. But there are definitely more better dining options in the area…
