Thinking of visiting this chic Senopati spot? It boasts a super cozy, photogenic vibe perfect for date night. The food is a tale of two extremes: the Tiramisu is heavenly and the Gnocchi is a must-order. However, you’ll want to run from the Prawn Ravioli. This guide gives you the essential do's and don'ts for a perfect visit, including a tip about the free valet parking in this busy area.
In the"battleground" of South Jakarta, Senopati, every shop is fiercely competitive. But this place's entrance is so low-key, it looks like the private residence of some old-money Lokal family. If a friend hadn't brought me, I could have passed by it eight hundred times without noticing. It's all about privacy and being cozy, so perfect for Nongkrong with the girls or a couple's date night. Super Chill!
Perfect Vibe, Food is Half Divine and Half... emmm
I was instantly won over by the ambiance as soon as I walked in. The decor is very thoughtful, every corner is super photogenic. A quick snap and you've got an Instagram-worthy masterpiece[1]. The dim lighting paired with just the right music completely maxes out the vibe. You can't go wrong choosing this place for date night.
Now, let's talk about the food. The offerings here are quite interesting, a mix of pleasant surprises and shocking disappointments.
Let's get straight to the point: the Tiramisu[2] was the best of the night, the MVP! The texture is as light as a cloud, the coffee liqueur flavor is just right—sweet but not cloying. One spoonful and you're bursting with happiness. Mantap! If you don't try it, you might as well have not come.
And then there's the Gnocchi[3], so soft and tender it melts in your mouth. Paired with the rich Gorgonzola sauce, the flavor was incredible. For my friends who love Italian dumplings, this one is a must-order, no questions asked.
No Sugarcoating, Just Some Real Talk
But! To be fair, not every dish is worthy of praise.
That Prawn Ravioli[4]... how do I put this? Anjay, it surprisingly felt like I was eating a shrimp dumpling from a Cantonese dim sum place. The sauce was also practically tasteless. Definitely avoid this one, don't waste your money.
Also, the sirloin steak my friend ordered came pre-sliced. For 200 grams, the price is indeed a bit steep, so it doesn't feel like great value for money. As for the service... it's a bit like opening a blind box. The server we got this time was fine, but I've heard some friends have encountered servers with a 'resting bitch face', and being stared at the whole time you're eating can be a little awkward[5].
