I’m really disappointed in my first experience at this restaurant. I’ve heard a lot of positive reviews which feels like a direct contradiction of my experience.
We ordered from the set Christmas menu which sounded great, but unfortunately delivered non stop disappointments. Beginning with my starter, the Truffle Cheese Empanadas were bland, lacked distinctive flavour and without the truffles added - would’ve given absolutely nothing. I was hoping the haddock main would deliver but that came cold, hardly fried and seasoned. It looked like a miserable grey slab of old fish. Additionally, it came warm and got cold quickly - indicating it had been left under the heat lamp for some time. Finally, the cheesecake I ordered was just sweet, a huge sugar overload. Every meal let us all down and it was a shame considering we spent approximately £75 each. My friends who ordered the stake all complained about how dry it was and had to use ketchup or mayonnaise to compensate - which is terrible for a steak house.
The overall service was okay, initially our waitress was quite attentive but ultimately she was over stretched and was unable to check in with our table consistently.
I can wholeheartedly say avoid this restaurant at all costs and ignore the hype, as it won’t meet your expectations and will probably hurt your stomach.
