"We had a wonderful evening at B&V last night. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the drinks were excellent, all of which are typical for a high-class restaurant. The staff were also friendly and attentive. It appears that the bar area is now more for decoration, as there was no dedicated bartender that I could see, unlike in previous years. In the past, the staff would also take our coats, and while it may seem trivial, these small gestures added a special touch that set the restaurant apart from its competition. Despite this, I still believe that B&V is the best restaurant in the area, but paying attention to these details could elevate it even further and compete with Cockfosters as well."
