ya, went there too 2 years ago, must say that it was disappointing. don’t think the ribs were barbecued, at least not the ones i had, it tasted like boiled, and then plastered with bbq sauce, too much, and then heated in the oven or something. service was also bad back then, made you feel like it’s a high class place and what on earth are you doing there, or maybe it was the way i dressed. they’re part of the uob credit card restaurant, whereby if you used your card, you’re entitled to a discount, but these weren’t made known either, i would have paid cash had i not spotted the uob logo and enquired about them. another friend confirmed an almost similar experience and vowed never to return.

anyone knows of a decent ribs place in penang?

Still rmbr try these during my USM days, sometime in 2005 or 2006. Read bout this in Friday Metro edition of The Star. They had set lunches back then, still rmbr the decor was special, simple, with chessboard like floor tiles. Foodwise, nothing to shout about, though we did not try the ribs back then, premium price ma, students only, mana boleh?

Totally agree with Steve Goh. The drinks is very much over priced and the food is nothing to shout about. The worse was the waitress and the service we got. I was there with my gal friends over Christmas. We went in with a jolly mood expecting to have a good time of celebration but we came out very much deflated.
First of all, they had given the wrong impression about their X’mas dinner package, the package which I made the reservations for 2 days prior to the evening was no longer valid. This was only told to us when we sat down to order. After complaints were made, the manager decided to give a 20% discount, which they advertised in the local daily that diners were supposed to get on a Thursday dine-in. We were there on a Thursday. So, she didn’t really do us any favours!! The waitress who served us was dressed in casual t-shirt, she had such a sullen face that it dampen our X’mas spirits. One would have thought that for the classy price which we were paying, at least we are entitled better table manners from the staff. Good money was paid to very bad service. They have lost 12 very valuable customers…

I managed to try it out last night. To be honest, it didn’t manage to impress that much.
First, the menu they used are in coloured plain paper with staples clipping together, no hardcover to hold it. Just staples…
I mean, for such a higher-than-normal price offered in the menu, they should serve the customers with more appropriate menu as this is the first thing the customers will perceive.
Flipping through the paper menu, the drinks are extremely over priced. Eg. a Coke for RM6…and no free-flows! I’ve decided to order a bottle of Carlsberg @ RM9.
Next, the mushroom soup for RM7.80 with a tiny piece of garlic bread. I think for such a price I would rather go to TGIF (with almost the same price for a cup) or Fatty Loh’s Western Food at half of the price. And the taste…nothing special and such a small portion.
For the main course, I tried the BBQ Ribs (4 pieces). They have rubbed in too much BBQ sauce and I think there’s nothing so special about the sauce. It can be easily purchased from any supermarkets. Nothing too special about the ribs either, but not too bad at all, at a price of RM28.
My gf ordered BBQ Chicken @ RM20.90. It’s a half-chicken and price is reasonable. But it taste exactly the same like the Ribs I’ve taken, except that it’s chicken.
Each of us get to choose 2 complimentary side dishes valued at RM3.50 per bowl. Again, nothing so special about that.
Environment-wise, the restaurant plays music from Mix.FM, doesn’t suit the ambience at all…
On a Saturday night, they only have one waiter serving. However we still can see the owner helping out as well. Maybe it’s not too packed on Saturday nights.
