I
would
have
given
Brandsøn
a
five-star
review
on
the
basis
of
multiple
visits
over
the
past
few
months,
however,
our
visit
last
week
merited
a
two-
or
three-star
review
at
best,
ending
up
almost
a
disaster
in
terms
of
overall
experience.
All
three
of
us
had
the
fish,
which
was
overcooked,
but,
worse,
served
in
a
dish
for
everyone
to
take
a
piece
without
any
serving
spoons
or,
indeed,
without
anyone
asking
whether
we
needed
help.
After
waiting
for
a
few
minutes,
I
got
up
and
brought
some
spoons
to
serve
this,
and
the
mousseline
potatoes,
the
asparagus,
and
the
beans
myself.
Not
quite
sure
how
they
expected
us
to
split
these
things
unless
they
expected
us
to
all
put
our
spoons
and
forks
in
the
tiny
pots
accompanying
the
main.
Wines
proposed
for
dishes
were
irrelevant
(even
red
was
proposed
for
the
fish),
so
we
did
the
best
we
could
ourselves
in
terms
of
selection;
for
starters
bisque
was
not
up
to
scratch,
whereas
blinis
were
overcooked
and
cold
-no
comparison
to
the
way
the
same
thing
was
served
less
than
ten
days
ago-
but
the
worse
elements
for
us
was
the
cocktails.
We
pick
Brandsøn
over
other
places,
exactly
because
we
can
have
a
nice
cocktail
and
have
relaxed
evenings.
In
this
instance,
I
specifically
asked
for
what
I
had
the
week
before,
explaining
it
was
light
and
creamy
and
not
in
the
menu,
to
be
served
with
a
strong,
coffee
cocktail
which
drilled
my
stomach
and
was
very
much
on
the
menu.
Upon
discussion
and
asking
for
any
other
cocktail
of
something
creamy,
we
were
told
that
only
options
were
the
ones
in
the
menu
-hardly
ten
cocktails-
and
when
we
explained
that
we
always
had
them
make
some
for
us
we
were
told
that
'this
has
recently
changed'.
Recently
must
have
been
very
recently.
As
in
the
last
4-5
days
since
our
last
visit!
Intentions
were
perhaps
good,
not
quite
sure
what
happened,.
but
a
rather
disappointing
experience
this
time...
