Could Do Better (13 April 2008)

It was a disappointing experience. Four of us were there for a celebratory evening meal and it would have been good if our waiter had been friendly. This was a Monday and there were few people around, so he was not exactly rushed off his feet. We decided on an aperitif but nothing was offered - my husband then asked for one and it was brought to him, but the waiter made no attempt to ask the rest of us, so we did without. The starters were acceptable, though the mozzarella didn't taste like the proper buffalo mozzarella announced on the menu. Two of us had grilled swordfish which was dry and tough. The wine was average, but we had to pour it ourselves. The sweet was very good, and brought by a waitress who was friendly and smiled at us. At £50 per head, I felt it was not good value for money.
