"I will own that we had a successful visit to this restaurant last year where we enjoyed a pleasant lunch on the pavement. Today however arriving a little after 13h00 we were seated in the dining room at a table positioned too close both to a door and in good hearing of the serving bar where a radio was blaring away and a coffee machine was dispensing steam. We waited patiently for service then ordered three set menus and two a la carte dishes. We waited some time before starter appeared from the menu selection and this could be considered passable. A long wait then ensued before the a la carte dishes appeared to the folks who had yet to be offered even a piece of bread. The lamb chops might have worked if the diners had been furnished with a decent knife. The fish dish had clearly been floured and fried and then left under a heat source to dry out. The brussel sprouts were over cooked and likely reheated with a disgusting inedible result and whilst the pork was satisfactory there was very little accompanying vegetable. When eventually we were able to raise some service we complained about the fish and were offered an alternative but so late that we could not consider asking our fellow diners to wait further and had to be satisfied with a plate of cheese which again took so long to arrive and fellow diners were obliged to sit looking at their dirty plates all the while. To add insult to injury a further wait for desert and coffee we were charged the full amount and offered no redress. I think the least they could have done is refund one of the 50cl bottles of wine. An insincere expression of sorry was all we received. Will never visit this restaurant ever again."
