Brussels Spring, Central Park Jakarta

I was with my ex-colleagues at Central Park mall. It was already lunch time and we were confused where to eat because everywhere was so crowded. One of my ex-colleagues recommended to have lunch at Brussels Spring because he always has a good experience eating there.

We entered the Brussels Spring and were surprised that it was so empty. There was only one table occupied by a woman and not long after we were seated she left the restaurant so we were the only customers inside this restaurant until we left it.

When we want to order the food, it was a bit difficult to find the waitresses because they were more concentrating in serving at Tapas de Espana which is another restaurant with a connected door directly to Brussels Spring. We found out the owner of Brussels Spring is also the same for Tapas de Espana. It was not only a bit difficult to find the waitresses but some of the menu which was recommended by my ex-colleagues were already deleted from the menu. 

We ordered and enjoyed the food but that was it; nothing really special though.
