"Visited for dinner with my wife on Saturday evening. The restaurant was busy which was reassuring. This place is not cheap especially for zone 3 south London! so my expectations are high. We went for a 2 course set menu £26.50 and shared a bottle of Prosecco £25 . For starters we both had the homemade tagilitelle with beef ragu... Soooo dry and bland, neither of us finished. There was also no offer of cheese or black pepper maybe Covid but can’t see why? . Mains came out pretty soon after but were sadly both also pretty unexceptional, duck breast cold with some veg and chips had to pay extra £4 for these and wife had a fish dish she didn’t enjoy and again had to pay an extra £4 for a side dish to make it an actual meal. After a pretty disappointing dinner we ordered the bill And coffee, which took 25 minutes and three requests to arrive !! . What frustrated me the most was the automated iPad style payment tablet, which suggest a number of service charge options which start at 15% going up to 25%.... Of course you can adjust this but to suggest that your local customers should consider no less than a 15% tip is quite insulting in my opinion especially for me who had to wait almost half an hour for the privilege of paying . Two course meal for 2 with wine and service a generously edited 12% was £103. Worth it? Definitely not."
