"Overall, my experience at this restaurant was very disappointing and strange due to confused and inept service. Upon arrival, we were informed that we would be having six courses, based on what we had supposedly booked. After clarifying that we hadn't booked for any specific number of courses, we were told we could choose between three or four courses as listed on the menu. Despite this, another server brought out soup and canapés before we had even ordered our drinks. When we expressed our confusion and stated that we hadn't ordered any food yet, we were informed that the soup and canapés were always served and we could choose our remaining courses. Despite being told that the sommelier would come take our drink order, 15 minutes went by without any action being taken. It was later explained that the soup and canapés had been counted as our first course, despite our lack of choice or desire for them. The staff, consisting of overly made-up, underfed young ladies in long dresses and aprons reminiscent of a dull version of The Handmaid's Tale, provided no explanation or enthusiasm about the food. While the food itself was satisfactory, the service greatly detracted from the overall dining experience."
