hi guys!!!
i have had this review in draft for about 3 weeks now, this is where we went to on our second date.
The first time I ever visited Blowfish was in 2012, when i was working as a stylist with Bolaji Animashaun of Style HQ, we had a long day and then she took us there for lunch.
she advised that we ordered the burger and fries but we wanted what she was having which for the longest time i have referred to as pasta with milk..lol.
After that ignorant visit i always wanted to go back so it was a great opportunity for me when The MR said i could choose where to go.
Remember our last conversation about customer service? well this is the best customer service i have ever received in Lagos, from the gate men to the waiters, to the managers, bar men and even the receptionists, everyone had a big smile on their face and they were all willing to help.
they even helped take pictures and posed for pictures and laughed hard at all my crazy jokes, you could tell that they get paid real good.
Well since we had to pay for service charge, i should have expected nothing less.
they serve basically continental, Indian, Lebanese, Thai and Italian cuisines which they run through two resturants i.e the purple restaurant and la veranda with so many cuisine options to choose from.
i started taking pictures right from outside and into the lobby and i didn't even get one question about what i needed the pictures for, i went as far as posing for personal outfit posts against there pink wall and even taking pictures of other customers.
Talking about pictures, the blowfish as a very beautiful view with Pink walls and furnitures and purple details.
we had the sandwich that came with chips, buffalo wings and pasta
it was very tasty. their cocktails were so good also i have to give them special credit for that.
have you been there? share your experience?
if you haven't you should drop by.
xo
Wow, all that money for this simple dish, I'm still not used to Nigerian prices. Something like this would cost only about 500 in BKK which is about 2500 Naira. Going out is expensive to me, I guess I'll just have to get use to it. The pasta with milk looks interesting lol. Glad you enjoyed the customer service and the scenery of the hotel.
ReplyDeleteohh its expensive but when regular restaurants and fast food and even bukkha's cost relatively over N1500, in this economy this feels like its okay.x
ReplyDeleteYeah I guess, I'm just trying to reconcile myself with the prices.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the review. The club sandwich and wings look really good. I guess i need to visit home soon again. By the way, love your outfit in that picture. Thanks for sharing dear.
