Overrated & dissapointed. 40mins just waiting for food. Then the food was not… well cooked? Slow cooked Lamb… They say… But chewy & tasteless? At least for me… Not a good experience… :(. It took me time to decide about what to order because nothing in the menu seemed to be tempting enough. I was about leaving… I expected much more from this place (about food). Good things: Service was very kind. And the environment, the views,… Very nice place at least.

Have been here on numerous occasions over the years. This was by far the poorest food and service we have received in this retaurant. Pollock gougons were dark coloured and obviously overcooked. The salmon linguini was dry. Service was slow. Don't think we will be back for a while.

There were some issues although overall I do not think they would stop me visiting again as I suspect they both may have been due to a degree of understaffing or inexperienced staff. Two biggest issues were with the wait time for main course (around an hour from the starter) and that one of the main dishes was just not quite right (monkfish was slightly overcooked, poached egg was way overcooked with a solid yolk, and clam risotto has no evidence of clams and was slightly undercooked with a chalkiness to the rice with none of usual unctuousness/creaminess you would expect from risotto. (I would have complined on night but had already waited so long and had theatre performance to get to so did not). The gentleman who appeared to be the manager on the day of our visit seemed to have a good handle on things but our young waiter appeared very hurried and did not take the time to acknowledge/ apolgise or explain our very long wait for main courses which always helps. One main dish was from the a la carte menu while my two dinner companions had chosen from the early evening menu. It may have been that choosing from the a la carte was always going to result in a longer wait for its arrival but if so we should have been alerted and may have chosed differently. There were no issues with the one starter, two main courses and two desserts from the eary evening menu. The cocktails and wine were also very good.

Last time we were here the menu was a lot more casual. I think the food was a little expensive for what it was and we all agreed was slightly limited. Almost like they are trying too hard. Waiters were good but service was a little slow. Good but not as good as previous visits.
