Sofitel advertised Bistro on 3 uses quality local produce and innovative menu. We got vennamei prawns, oysters which are hardly fresh (my husband nearly threw up when he put a vile oyster in his mouth), fried calamari, dried-out barra slices. They call mongolian beef, steamed vegies, cajun chicken pieces, roast lamb, miso soup innovative?

The pasta on offer was just boiled penne with an unexciting blob of tomato sauce next to it which no one touched. The cheeses and fruit on offer were meagre. The only saving grace were the desserts. For the price they charge, which is the most expensive buffet in the gold coast, I had a right to expect more. Get your act together, Sofitel.

This is possibly the worst value, mediocre Japanese teppanyaki in the whole of Sydney. We had the deluxe "banquet" which consisted of 8 or so dishes including miso soup and a tiny bowl of salad (same size as the miso soup bowl) which was only 1/3 full. The appetiser plate had a spoonful of seaweed, the tiniest sliver of sashimi I have ever seen, and a spoonful of beef jerky. Followed by two tiny prawns each, then three 2 sq cm pieces of grilled squid. We're already talking 5 dishes here and we felt we really haven't eaten anything.
