"Looked very nice on entry, if unexpectly quite for a Thursday night in December. I ordered the mac and cheese with a side of skinny fries. When the food came the mac and cheese had bacon on it, seemed an honest mistake by the server who apologised when I said I didn 't order bacon, I 'm vegetarian he took it and said he would get a new one. I was surprised and a bit suspecious when it came back less than 5 min later but it looked ok, that was until I put some in my mouth and it tasted smoked. On further inspection I found a small piece of bacon down the inside of the bowl. I called the server back and asked if the chef had just taken the bacon off and the reply was a sheepish yes. He apologised again and offered to get me anouther, however I refused, if they think just taking the big bits of bacon off makes it vegetarian I can 't trust the practices going on in the kitchen. A short while later he came back and apologised again, saying that I wouldn 't be charged for anything, he also took the blame himself as he didn 't tell the chef I was vegetarian and hadn 't said anything when they just took the bacon off. I appreciated the apology, but it doesn 't make it right and made that point clear to him. I 'm vegetarian by choice, but what if it had been an allergie to something or I had been Muslim or Jewish. I 'm exceptionally disappointed that a place advertising itself as vegetarian, vegan, gluten friendly place can get something so basic, so wrong. It 's put me off going back and I certainly wouldn 't recommend anyone with any kind of dietary requirement going there as you may get more on your plate than you bargained for."
