The food was ok. The starters were ok. My girlfriends scallop was severely overpriced compared to most other restaurants. 16 quid for 3 scallops with garlic butter? The mains were pleasant enough and probably the best part of the meal. The pannacotta dessert also had very weak flavours. We ordered a bottle of wine to come with the starters. Didn 't get it. Just got an apology and that was it, so ordered two glasses instead. Later we ordered dessert wine. That came after we had finished the desserts. The staff weren 't that attentive or enthusiastic. Also during our visit we overheard other customers saying the food was pretty 'secondary ' and another man had his beef too chewy which they did nothing about. I know other restaurants that would have replaced it for a whole new dish for him. This restaurant is mediocre at best, and should not be allowed to charge the prices it does.

Very disappointing. Went for my husbands birthday and had taster menu and wine flight at £130 each. Service was fantastic, however, food was very lacklustre. So... read more Very disappointing. Went for my husbands birthday and had taster menu and wine flight at £130 each. Service was fantastic, however, food was very lacklustre. Soup was acceptable. Goats cheese was literally a bit of cheese slapped on the plate with a beetroot slice and dash of puree. Scallop and lobster bisque had the smallest bit of scallop and bisque was very average. Sorbet was delicious. Tournedos had sinew and the onions on top were so overcooked they were hard and dry. Menu said seabass however, we were given hake, which was served on a tepid plate of ratatouille. Last course we opted for cheese board. The cheese and grapes were served extremely cold and therefore had no flavour. You would think spending £300 you would get a superb meal. When you look at the pictures online there is no comparison. Not a patch on the Elephant and sadly we will not be returning.
