"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"
