"The restaurant' period decor sets an appropriate scene to celebrate a special occasion with dinner. The foodie menu offers a good experience for any unique occasion. The chefs deserve the recognition such as that from the Michelin Guide for their apparent skills in the food presented and from a wonderfully put together menu combination. However we have a few comments that we feel are justified. The staff are quite young and when we asked about some of the items on the menu the young waitress was clearly not au fait with what they were, which for her was embarrassing. Having experienced a number of foodie restaurant menus of the likes of Manchester House/ Manchester, Bar Balou/Knightsbridge etc staff are usually fully appraised about the whole menu and extremely knowledgable, in order that any diners questions can be fully answered when deliberating. Also; a variety of breads were voluntarily delivered to the table by staff, which I hasten to add were not ordered, but which appeared on the bill. Overall a good experience which we enjoyed, but with room for improvement, particularly with better training for the young staff who after all can only excel with skills passed to them."
