If you are looking for a popular instagrammable dining spot and are accepting of mediocre food, this is the place for you. Booked lunch with a friend on a sunny afternoon at the main restaurant, Meko. Staff are very friendly and the hotel is beautiful. Set on a slope, the meander to the restaurant and pool area built anticipation. I greatly admire the aesthetics in the engineering to make the hotel feel light, airy, bright and modern. Arriving at Meko, as the restaurant was not busy, we had our choice of tables. Service was very slow (it took 10mins with only 5 occupied tables, for us to be attended to). Despite that early hiccup, we happily ordered our lunch. The menu descriptions are very detailed and tantalising but do however fall short of the final dish delivered. We ordered: caesar salad with prawns, a roast beef sandwich and a chicken and eggplant pizza. What the chefs at Meko are yet to realise is that some diners are actually serious foodies and take the menu and it's descriptions seriously. Of the 3 dishes, only the salad was delicious and was accurately described. The roast beef, intended to be served on sourdough, was served on a baguette, closer to taste of white bread than sourdough. It would also be nice to have the option of the beef cooked to your liking. It seems the standard is well done. The beef was moist but overall, the sandwich very bland. The pizza was disappointing. A few mini cubes of chicken, a pinch of eggplant cubes, no pickled chili and a few drops of what I assume was meant to be roasted garlic. The setting is very pleasant and the wine list is well priced, however, I go to restaurants to eat and Meko has a lot to improve on.
