Finally got to try Todd English Food Hall at SM Aura with my girlfriends for a post Christmas - New Year's Dinner. Time to indulge on good food and great company. It was a very pleasant gastronomical experience.
Todd English Food Hall is not a buffet style restaurant nor your regular food court fare. At first when I heard about the restaurant, I thought they were serving buffet style food.. but nope they don't. The restaurant houses 9 specialty food stations and you can order from each of the station and they make it fresh on the spot. Sounds good right? The Todd English Food Hall is a European-inspired specialty food hall — offers the finest fresh, prepared, and gourmet food.
'Came to the place without any reservation because we called in late and they were not taking any reservations that time, We were on the waiting list and I didn't mind sitting at the bar anymore because the resto' was jam packed on a Wednesday night. We finally got seated at the Salad & Charcutterie Station. We would've loved a dining table but that means waiting longer and man was I hungry already.
We finally placed our orders and we were anticipating delays because the
1) The resto' was full and really busy that time
2) Food were freshly made and on the spot.. so usually I expect 10-15 minutes delay.
But to our surprise food came in less than 15 mins. It was not in its proper sequence, like, Salad first then the Appetizer then...etc.. We got the Salad First which was just right then the Steak.. errmmm .. i will not complain though.. I'm really hungry ^_^ and the food was really good so I forgive you :)
