Having
had
this
restaurant
recommended
to
us
we
went
for
a
last
night
meal
and
were
very
disappointed.
The
service
was
less
than
friendly
from
the
start.
"Had
we
booked?"
"No"
Long
look
at
the
few
written
reservations
not
to
mention
more
than
half
of
the
tables
empty
before
pointing
at
another
staff
member
saying
"He'll
deal
with
you".
Drinks
and
food
menu
brought.
Asked
if
we'd
like
water,
yes,
long
wait
for
it
to
arrive.
Amuse
bouche
was
a
tiny
amount
of
fresh
coconut
and
a
very
nice
garlic
butter
with
a
tiny
amount
of
bread.
Both
ordered
fish
soup
for
starters.
Menu
had
chateaubriand
(for
2)
with
bearnaise
sauce,
tenderloin
with
mustard
or
peppercorn
sauces.
I
asked
if
it
was
possible
to
order
tenderloin
with
bearnaise
sauce,
was
initially
told
"yes"
only
for
them
to
change
their
mind
a
minute
later
saying
"No,
we
can't
make
bearnaise
for
one!
The
steaks
were
offered
rare
or
medium.
My
husband
got
a
"look"
and
rolled
eyes
when
he
asked,
very
politely,
if
he
could
have
his
medium
well.
Apparently,
no
he
couldn't
it
came
medium.
Long
wait
for
the
soup
which
was
okay
but
we'd
had
a
far
nicer
one
in
our
hotel
and
then
an
even
longer
wait
for
the
mains.
Having
my
steak
plans
thwarted
I'd
opted
for
an
anonymous
fish
fillet
with
a
caper
and
anchovy
sauce,
being
very
fond
of
anchovies.
The
three
small
fillets
of
fish
had
very
little
taste
and
the
caper
sauce
was
apparently
renamed
caper
and
anchovy
by
the
simple
act
of
draping
a
single
small
anchovy
fillet
across
one
of
the
pieces
of
fish.
The
accompanying
vegetables
came
without
choice.
The
dessert
menu
features
some
nice
looking
desserts
for
two,
but
not
one,
unfortunate
for
a
couple
with
a
diabetic.
Tiramasu
and
icecream
were
offered
but
everything
else
seemed
to
come
with
chocolate
sauce...profiteroles
with
chocolate
sauce,
Danish
ice
cream
with
hot
chocolate,
banana
split
with
chocolate
sauce...a
caramel
option
would
have
been
nice.
I
opted
for
no
dessert.
The
restaurant
itself
is
open
to
the
elements
(so
no
air
con)
which
I
didn't
mind.
Unfortunately
they'd
opted
for
Christmas
music
but
it
was
the
naff
carols
with
a
disco
beat
and
hearing
the
same
song
for
the
third
time
highlighted
how
slow
the
service
was.
Keen
to
leave
we
couldn't
as
we
had
to
ask
for
the
bill
three
times
before
it
was
brought.
We
were
asked
"Was
the
food
okay"
as
opposed
to
"How
was
the
food"
but
that
just
meant
we
answered
"yes"
instead
of
"ok".
One
last
thing
is
they
have
fruit
bat
stew
on
the
menu.
That
may
attract
some
people,
others
may
want
to
avoid
it
on
that
basis.
We're
left
wishing
we'd
eaten
somewhere
else.
