"We had a voucher for a sparkling tea. Reassured by their website that pronounced their covid measurs were above government guidelines I allayed my 93 year olds Mums fear about going. We were able to sit outside which was of much covid reassurance to Mum...And all was well in this wonderful place which Mum pronounced to be 'the real macoy '...they even catered very impressively for my vegan diet...all was well until we paid in the reception lounge. Mum had thought we would not need to hand over our gift card as they had already got our details when we booked on the phone, but not so...she wore her mask, I was lulled into a false sense of security and destracted that Mums very poor hearing meant she had not heard and was about to walk out the door in her unstable on her feet way, as I handed the voucher over minus my mask to the unmasked young man. Mum observed no one in the lounge was wearing a mask, and the young man got very close to me. I do think this is indefensible. Today the government has changed their rules so today they would all have to be wearing their masks, but surely it 's good sense. On reflection I noted our two waitresses were walking pretty close to ' each other too. Most of the clientele seemed to be over 60...surely they have a duty of care. When i check trip advisor for much humbler eating places, alot have staff wearing masks before the government told them they must...WHY NOT HERE!? I did phone them today..I was told staff do get a temperature screen every day ...but that is only an indication. I was impressed they had hands free alcohol gel dispensers, they took our details, wiped our tables and others every hour and after someone has dined. Its a wonderful place which has let itself down."

"My partner treated me to a birthday lunch at Kipferl as we both love Käsespätzle which is a dish popular in his hometown of Voralberg in Austria. It is a dish we know well and eat often when there. Their menu promised the cheese was from Voralberg and we had high expectations for an authentic dish given this restaurant is meant to be authentically Austrian! Upon arriving we were seated quickly and ordered our meal in good time. We both ordered: käsespätzle and Kartoffel salat (Potato salad). My partner also ordered a soup of the day. Both of us had had a very light breakfast and were excited to enjoy one of our fave dishes again. The soup was watery and tasteless, made edible only by the sourdough bread. On reflection I wish we had ordered as we went along ... as this was a sure signal of the poor quality food emerging from the kitchen! When the Käsespätzle arrived the distinct cheese aroma was missing... first sign it was not what was promised. OMG! this was the WORST Käsespätzle EVER! Käsespätzle is made using four types of cheese (Käse) from the area of Voralberg This cheese is unique to Voralberg and the dish CANNOT be made without it! Without it the flavour and strongly distinct smell are missing. Whatever type of cheese they used it was definitely not the specific cheeses required for this dish The spätzle was disgusting. All you could taste was egg! The texture was wrong... it is meant to be small well formed kernels of spätzle dough instead it was soft and almost mashed... In no way did it resembled what we always eat when visiting Voralberg. The flavour, aroma and presentation was completely WRONG. The Kartoffel (potato) salad was just as awful too. Massive rounds of potato swimming in dressing. This is such a wonderful dish when made correctly... sadly this was my WORST birthday meal EVER! We were both incredibly disappointed esp. as several years ago we had tried Kipferl in Wes London (now closed) and the Käsespätzle was editle then. Clearly the chef doesn't know how to make this dish or just can't be bothered! We CANNOT recommend Kipferl as what they promise on their menu in terms of Käsespätzle is definitely NOT what it should be, not worth the price and a rip off. We were so disappointed that we ended up not having a pudding/cake and took our business elsewhere to L'Etro in London where the cakes were excellent and where I could have had a great birthday meal with my partner.. .incredibly disappointing!"
