Castell Restaurant (Closed)

Castell can be said is an evergreen yet popular old-school establishment. It has been around for about 30 years now (maybe more!) and still going on strong; albeit having gone through some changes to upgrade it's menu and ambience. When one small restaurant with limited seatings can survive for that many decades, you can be assured it's food is really something else :-) My favorite at Castell is definitely the Chicken Chop in Special Mushroom Sauce. It's a popular dish amongst many other dine

Castell Restaurant is quite popular as one of the best steakhouse in town. The thing that impresses me is their detailed presentation of the food, which tempts me to order more. For my piece of Prime Fillet NZ, I am really satisfied because of thick gooey sauce which is sweet salty and best matched with such tender meat. The corn balances up the meal with lightly salty flavour. I think I pay for something that worth my money.

The Lamb Cutlet was served with corns, salad and a potato. I love the amount of corn that they gave as I super love corns. The lamb was half meat half fats and it was very tender and juicy. The fatsparts melted in my mouth and the burned side was so crunchy. Superb! The lamb marinate was normal and a little bit of herbs presence. I just felt that the portion of the lamb was a bit too small.

On a sunday night peak dinner hours, the parking was convenient as there was not many patrons in the restaurant. We were seated beside a glass window to glance through outside. The restaurant has a romantic ambiance.Bread with oil and vinegar was served first. The bread was soft but this skin was a bit tough.Chicken Parmigiana pasta. The chicken pieces were well-marinated but it was on the salty side. Have to eat it together with the pasta. The pasta was oily. Love the small pieces of garlic. No

As the saying goes "What you pay is what you get".I must say the Fresh Bread with Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil is a great appetizer just before the main dish but the Mushroom Cheese Bruschetta was quite a letdown as it was soggy a
