"Excellent food but the evening was spoiled because instead of bringing the Carafe of White Vermentino that we ordered a very expensive £60 bottle was brought to us. The waiter insisted that this was what we had ordered even though the wine was not even white but orange. This bottle was eventually replaced by another £40 bottle of white Vermentino which we accepted. When the bill arrived we had been charged for both bottles with a discount on the first that we had sent back. After much wrangling and telephone conversation between the waiter and the manager we declined to pay for any part of the orange wine or the service charge I spoke with the manager the next day who didn't accept any responsibility for what had happened basically saying that the waiter's version of events differed and that she wasn't there so could not comment. She eventually conceded that the waiter's one fault was that he could be slightly inattentive and she admitted that the orange Vermentino should not have been listed under white wine. She also admitted that she had not authorised the charge made on the returned bottle. After asking me to repeat my version of events four times and saying she couldn't understand it she finally said that she was sorry we hadn't enjoyed the evening. We won't be returning and I would recommend anyone going there to check both the wine brought to them and their bill carefully"

"Whenever we drove past, we would always say, "it should be great in it." So for the birthday of my partner I arranged for us lunch in the restaurant. when we arrived, the restaurant was quiet as it was still early in the day. it was a little atmosphere, but we sat alone in the winter garden. we thought other parties would join us and make it more alive, but instead the personal filled out the restaurant that left us to it. we thought that there was something we had said! in the conservatory there was a problem with the music speakers, as they always get in and out and then were really loud. we told the waitress who was most apologetic, but who was responsible for the music didn't seem to do anything about it. it was quite annoying. they were hired when a party arrived with a baby as we wanted. it was also a shame that they had no oysters and that the waiting staff didn't know. not her fault, but the one in front of the house and the kitchen to communicate better. on the open table booking I have specified that it was a birthday and as I saw pictures of desserts with ‘Happy Birthday’ on the board that I asked on my partner. that didn't happen. a scandalous and art of the last impression of the place. that was not for the dessert of my partner. the mango parfait. frozen solid. the waitress took another and removed him from the bill. a nice gesture."
