"The food is very pretty and the stand out dish of the evening was the beef which was perfection. Amuse bouche were a bit “safe”. A chicken consommé was well done but not special, a pice of battered chicken felt a bit out of place. The very pretty salmon mousse with a tiny bit of caviar was too mild in flavour to be that interesting. The wine list is very classic and expensive however there are some lovely offerings from Austria which was nice to see. The service was, i’m afraid, mis-judged. I dont think in principle you should keep stopping people’s conversation to have a lecture on the next course, especially as it is written on the menu. Then the crumb clearing (i counted 5 times) with a silver scraper. Being leant over fairly regularly to do something which perhaps needs to be done once in a meal if at all. All this fuss didn’t stop the staff completely ignoring two guests who arrived and were left for 25 minutes without a glass let alone anything to drink. The dining room is a bit airless which adds to the sense that they havent quite got things right. We disnt go mad with wine, given the prices on the wine list, but the bill for 5 was in excess of £1400. For that sort of cash I want top class food and service."
