"We couples) had booked a mid week table at Panis. A warm welcome, a nice atmosphere, comfortable and roomy booth seating and a pleasant decor. Unfortunately, the food did not match up, in any way, to the surroundings. My artichoke casserole' was a...meagre clear broth with a couple of undercooked potatoes, a slimy piece of red pepper, a few beans and some decidedly odd pieces of artichoke covered with two huge slices of bread which added nothing to either the taste or appearance in fact, I left it. I opted for a lemon sorbet which is always a safe bet but was again disappointed by the lack of any finesse with its presentation, and yes it was lemony but of the industrial kind. Other meals looked equally lack lustre but since I didn't try them, I won't comment. I shared a carafe of wine and wished I hadn't. It was pure vinegar with sediment for that added touch of indifference. I think that was the problem. Friendly enough front of house staff, but a kitchen that is either past caring, thinks they can get away with it or just doesn't have the skills. Poor Sardinia."
