The interior confirms my suspicions. It is dark, dark, dark. It has a sunken ship feeling about it. It is not a good place to be under the effect of mind-altering drugs. This is Aloha.
Appearances are only appearances, however, and the food is often quite a surprise, good or bad.
The Mushroom Salad was prepared with fresh mushrooms, beetroot, lettuce, a light mayonnaise sauce and vinaigrette. We wolfed it all down in a few minutes. My Beef Fillet with Pepper Sauce was also quite delicious. But the fillet was extremely well cooked and its sauce was of the right consistency. Although we constituted 50 per cent of the clientele, our request for more light was overruled at least twice, until we plainly refused to eat what we couldn't see.
