Not coming back.
This was my first visit to Aston after hearing so much about it. No doubt I did not have steak which was what they are famous for, but I'm writing this review based on what I have. I still feel that as a restaurant you should take care of your other dishes as well.
This outlet feels like a family place and packed with families and students on a Saturday evening. I was seated next to a group of 10 students on an outing so was rather noisy.
Minestrone ($3.50) - didn't have this but heard it was diluted and not good.
Clam chowder ($3.50) - thick creamy but bland. I found chicken instead of clam. Hmmm. Both soups came really lukewarm and we asked to heat it up. The staff said he needed to check with the manager (???). When they returned the 2nd time, it was still lukewarm. We gave up.
Spinach salad ($6.90) - Really just spinach leaves anda few sundried tomatos on top (we had asked to replace bacon bits with it), nothing else. The balsamic vinegrette was okay but too tart for my liking.
Chicken provanacle ($10.90) - I forgot to take pics of this but no loss. A cut of chicken laced with mushroom sauce, accompanied by wedges and buttered mushrooms (you could choose any 2 side dishes from a list). The chicken came with too much, and wedges served cold. The mushrooms were not too bad though.
It may be forgivable to neglect your non-famous dishes a little but I think serving hot soup should be a basic. Not going back there, even though prices are really attractive.

I went to Aston Prime with a few of my friends yesterday. This outlet looks very classy and it seems to be expensive as I have never been to Aston Prime before. But surprisingly, their prices are acceptable even though it is more expensive than Aston's express due to its different kind of menu.
If you are a steak lover, you should try the steak here. My friend ordered medium rare which tastes very good. We also tried their beer battered fish. It is actually fried fish and I don't taste any beer. Not sure if it is related to its name given. The serving is big. Even though it is fried, the juicy of the fish can be tasted. There is a thick meat in between those fried.
Their side dish is pretty the same as the one in Aston Express though.
The service is good too. Their staffs talked to us and because of the funny names they give on the menu, their staff also explained to us patiently.
It's a good experience :)
