Noble Canteen & Cocktails

Sadly our first experience wasn’t great, we ordered a crispy chicken salad and a prawn and papaya salad, both tasted exactly the same and were covered in an overly salty very sour dressing, so much so that it was inedible and we had to send them back. To quote my friend «I can’t understand that someone tasted this dressing and said to themselves… ‘yes, that’s good»
The wait staff were accommodating and apologetic, and seemed genuinely interested in our feedback. Unfortunately the chef who came out to our table was not. I felt as though I was a child being instructed by a teacher, she began ‘explaining’ the flavours to me, it’s Thai food, I live in Newtown I get it. We had ordered a tuna sashimi salad to replace the chicken but the chef informed us that they all had the same dressing so we wouldn’t like that either, this flabbergasted me, so all the dishes taste the same?
We ended up with a wagyu beef stir fry, OK not great. I really hope they manage to correct the flavours in some of the food, it’s a great space with a good atmosphere, friendly helpful, very personable staff (I think they may have been the owners). We were only charged for our drinks and asked to try them again, this did go a long way. Here’s hoping the chef tastes the food and takes on feedback, keep your amazing friendly staff. We’ll give them another try and see how we go…
