Food:
We opted for the 10-course Vegan tasting menu, which began promisingly with a series of intriguing, beautifully presented, and flavorful dishes. However, the experience went down hill with the desserts, which were underwhelming, unpleasant and did not live up to the high standards set by the earlier courses.
Ambiance:
The ambiance was less than ideal, as I was seated directly in front of a glaring light throughout the two-hour meal, which detracted from the overall experience. My partner kept having to position his head to block the light from my eyes.
Service:
Unfortunately, the service was the weakest aspect of the evening. It began with our host asking if we’d like to check our coats, despite us being right in front of her and not wearing any. Constant interruptions of our conversation ensued with frequent and redundant inquiries about our experience—each time we finished a course, we were asked how we felt about that dish, sometimes more than once. At the end of the meal, we were even asked to declare our favorite course. Plates were cleared from one diner while the other was eating.
A moment of confusion came with a crackers and dip dish, which was served in two parts, ten minutes apart. First, the crackers were brought out, and then the dip followed, with no explanation until we asked.
Value:
At nearly £300 for two (without alcohol), we did not feel that the meal provided value for money, especially given the lack of consistency in both the food and service. On the walk back to the hotel we passed place after place radiating light and laughter after our gloomy experience in a near empty restaurant.
