First
time
here,
and
to
be
honest,
we
were
not
initially
impressed.
On
arrival
at
the
bar,
the
staff
were
huddled
at
the
other
end,
talking
to
each
other
while
newly
arrived
guests,
including
ourselves,
were
ignored.
We
didn't
even
receive
a
nod
or
any
eye
contact
as
a
sign
of
acknowledgement
that
they
knew
we
were
there.
This
continued
as
staff
moved
around
behind
the
bar.
The
heat
in
the
room
was
horrendous!
We
had
to
ask
for
it
to
be
turned
off.
Then
later
we
had
to
ask
for
the
background
music
to
be
turned
down,
as
it
was
blaring
that
loud,
we
couldn't
hear
each
other.
The
tables
were
nicely
laid
out,
with
spotless
glasses
and
cutlery!
It
is
a
huge
thing
for
me
as
I
detest
dirty
or
cloudy
glasses
and
stained
cutlery.
The
family
members
who
hosted
the
party
used
to
have
their
own
restaurant,
and
they
trained
the
staff
to
dip
cutlery
in
hot
water
before
drying
and
placing
it
on
the
table.
The
only
negative
for
the
table
setup
was
the
use
of
one
chair
cover
that
was
excessively
wrinkled,
like
it
had
been
screwed
up
in
the
tightest
ball
ever.
It
stood
out
a
mile.
Starters
arrived,
which
everyone
thoroughly
enjoyed.
Mains
were
disappointing
for
some.
The
Sea
Bass
was
literally
just
that,
no
extra
sides,
just
the
dressing
underneath.
Presentation
of
the
steak;
I've
seen
better
presentations
at
'Spoons'.
The
steak
WAS
tasty,
as
was
the
peppercorn
sauce.
Some
guest
steaks
were
quite
pink
and
bloody
despite
asking
for
well
done.
The
Christmas
Turkey
had
a
fuller
looking
plate,
although
it
severely
lacked
vegetables.
It
was
literally
one
each
4
cm
chunky
stick
of
carrot
and
a
parsnip,
and
3
baby
Brussels
sprouts!
Desserts,
everyone
was
pleased.
The
ladies'
toilets
were
not
maintained
during
our
visit.
Both
times
I
used
them,
another
patron
passed
a
comment
on
the
mess
of
the
cubicles
and
lack
of
maintenance.
Also,
it
is
disappointing
that
other
females
would
create
such
a
mess!
Overall,
I
am
on
the
fence
with
returning.
My
hubby
is
a
definite
no.
