We
had
pre-booked,
so
were
not
just
accommodated
as
a
walk-in.
This
restaurant
had
good
reviews
and
came
recommended,
but
we
were
on
a
short
holiday
and
there's
only
so
much
research
that
can
be
done
beforehand.
Our
visit
was
an
extremely
disappointing
experience
on
many
counts.
There
were
far
too
many
tables
crammed
into
the
space
available
and
although
the
front
of
the
premises
was
open,
it
was
stiflingly
hot
(one
inadequate
fan
just
blew
hot
air
around).
Our
table
was
of
woefully
inadequate
size
so
didn't
accommodate
what
was
required
to
fit
on
it.
All
tables
were
the
same
size
(supposed
to
seat
two),
with
multiples
being
placed
together
for
4,
6
and
so
on
-
not
in
itself
a
problem
as
long
as
the
table
for
two
is
an
adequate
size
in
the
first
place,
which
these
were
not.
These
elements
alone
made
it
an
uncomfortable
and
far
from
relaxing
venue.
With
hindsight,
we
should
not
have
stayed
to
order
(our
mistake)
but
having
booked,
we
felt
obliged
to
stick
it
out.
Two
salads
were
ordered,
one
smoked
salmon,
the
other
parma
ham.
The
smoked
salmon
was
edible,
but
unremarkable;
the
Parma
ham
was
mostly
edible
but
nowhere
near
the
good
quality
expected.
Tomatoes
seemed
to
major
in
both
descriptions,
lovely
we
thought,
but
they
were
huge,
underripe
tomatoes
cut
into
wedges,
totally
lacking
in
flavour,
so
none
were
eaten
(despite
the
menu
stating
that
the
tomatoes
on
the
salmon
salad
would
be
small
ones).
The
green
element,
was
an
assortment
of
small
tasteless,
leaves
that
no
one
had
thought
it
necessary
to
de-stalk
(of
which
there
were
many)
also,
the
olives
that
were
mixed
in
to
the
leaves
had
stones
still
in
them
-
and
there
was
no
warning
of
this.
No
one
came
to
check
whether
the
meal
was
OK
after
it
was
served
and
we
had
the
distinct
impression
that
they
wanted
to
push
through
as
many
people
as
possible
as
quickly
as
possible
-
and
as
they
were
close
to
a
tourist
area,
they
could
probably
be
confident
of
being
busy
without
caring
whether
anyone
would
return.
To
be
fair,
when
the
waiter
came
to
clear
the
plates
he
did
ask
whether
the
meal
was
OK
-
although
that
was
a
bit
pointless
as
half
of
it
was
still
on
the
plate!!
We
said
not
good,
we
expected
better,
settled
the
bill
and
swiftly
exited.
In
posting
this
review,
we
hope
to
save
others
from
a
most
unsatisfactory
experience
(had
to
select
a
star
rating
so
chose
the
lowest,
otherwise
it
would
have
been
zero).
