"So to start with me ordered the mackerel, which was probably my own fault to not understand the menu correctly when it arrived, it looked like a glass of paralyzed aals, very inconspicuous, but anyway I didn't have it to my taste though that could be just a question of personal taste (I'm not a fussy eater, but it was beyond me) so I sent it back. No alternative or refund offered. I then waited an hour for my main course (Pork-Jowl), which is my interpretation is 50% pork 50% fat, again, when it was served, it was totally inedible, I was literally served 3 pieces fat with a piece of pork cracking up. No meat. Again I returned my food and said I wouldn't pay it. My men's food was also taken away to keep warm while an alternative was prepared. Then I was finally served the beef stew who was good, but was too salty, my men's food was returned until it had dried quite a lot. I ordered a slim tonic and was brought full of fat, at this time I could not be harassed, so I drank it anyway. So... we booked a table for 8 o'clock and didn't eat until 10 o'clock. Luckily we had a good night because the food and service was so bad that we saw the humor in it and had a good laugh... reminded of fawlty towers, but for £80 it was a very disappointing experience. I mentioned it at check-out, but I did not offer compensation. Also the ambience was pampered for us by the fact that several diners had dogs that cracked all night, I have no problem with people who take their dogs for dinner, but I think owners should keep their pets under control and if they don't, then it is really to intervene to the restaurant. What didn't happen. All in all a very disappointing experience and we will not return"
