Cranks Rosebank

This time out we decided go to Rosebank and where better to start than Cranks. The food is really good and well the decor is frankly quite mad. So we arrive sit down and ask for a long island ice tea. We find out that there are two sizes. DAMN!! Two sizes what the hell. So we order both sizes for good measure. On arrival the drinks are served in these jars which is quite cool but not amazing. The large is actually not that large and the small is way too small. I tasted my drink and damn it was like getting kicked in the head by a bottle of gin. Unfortunately for us we found that the drinks across the table were not consistent everyone had a different long island ice tea. Second round was much the same. The biggest problem we had was the ludicrous price but Rob will cover that.

Presentation: 6/10
Taste: 3/10
Service: 5/10

Overall: 4/10

Flash to Rob, who is at this point selling himself on a street corner to pay for the drinks.

Presentation: More jars, lots of ice and a slice of lem... err Cucumber ? Thailand just got interesting! Unfortunately most of the ice teas were heavily stirred and so lacked that "look"
2 Sizes were available, though with the large variety of jars served one might more accurately say several sizes are available, let the long island lottery begin. (6/10)

Taste: Continuing with the long island lottery, taste was no exception. Drinks ranged from, "I think this is Lipton's ?" to "Oh my God, impending blackout!" If one wanted to find some sort of consistency, I would say that the median drink tasted much like Gin&Cola... So not good. (3/10)

Service: Could use some improvements, there were far often to many times where only half the table had anything in front of them. Other than that, food was decent and the they did try to keep us all happy. (5/10)

Overall, I'm going to give the place a (4/10) M-Score ranged from 1 - 1.5 and a long island will cost you.... wait for it R69.95 for a large, and R49.95 if you order the small.

P.S, No money for long islands next week. Please Help!
