"Typical soul less restaurant, focused all on looks, rather than substance. The place itself is fairly nice and stylish, especially around the bar area, but that’s pretty much where the positives end, for me. The menu offers a relatively small selection of dishes, including a bit of everything (which I always think is a bad sign), from mussels and oysters to lamb stew, and seems to have been put together with no rationale behind whatsoever. My partner and I ordered a baked goat cheese which had a thick and slightly soggy breaded coating that made me think it had been frozen, and added nothing to the taste, and was served with bits of nuts and flavourless pear and a ham hock terrine as a starter. After saying they had to double check if the terrine was available, the waiter confirmed after a little while. When they came back with the dishes, a good 20 minutes later, the terrine was not there. We naturally asked for it again and they, slightly puzzled, replied that it should also be about to come and that they would go and double check with the kitchen. Five more minutes passed, then the waiter came back, apologising that a mistake was made and the terrine was not going to come. I stress that nothing was offered to my partner in compensation for his hopeless 25 minutes wait for food, not a starter or a glass of wine on the house, nothing. I honestly never experienced such a bad service in a restaurant. My partner, reasonably speechless by then, decided to skip the starter and just have the burger he ordered, which obviously was also underwhelming and overcooked. I instead had some pumpkin and sage tortelloni, which were honestly quite nice, but had their potential totally frustrated but how they were served with a bit of runny broth, including a very small amount of diced shiitakes, in a very bad attempt at giving the tortelloni an Asian twist. I summary, in our experience the food was mediocre and badly thought of, and the service terrible. We will never go back."
