    Service was fantastic, however, we had a few issues with food quality. The pork was incredibly dry, almost inedible, and the tiramisu was off

    While the meal itself was beautifully presented and full of flavor, the experience was somewhat marred by a lack of attentiveness from the staff. The chef’s hand was a touch generous with the salt, but the dishes remained delicious and visually appealing.

    A Disappointing Experience Despite Excellent Cuisine. While the food at this restaurant was of a very high standard—compliments to the chef—the overall experience was undermined by poor service and a lack of professionalism, particularly disappointing given the restaurant's premium positioning. The booking process was frustrating from the outset. Multiple phone calls and emails went unanswered, forcing me to visit in person to make a special reservation. Despite this effort, the reservation was made for the wrong number of guests, requiring yet another trip to the restaurant, as there was still no response to further attempts at communication. On the day of our visit, the quality of the food did not disappoint. However, the service failed to meet expectations. We ordered a bottle of white wine to enjoy as a pre-dinner drink, but it took 30 minutes to arrive and was only served alongside our starters—defeating its purpose. Similarly, one guest ordered a cocktail as a pre-dinner drink, but it was not delivered until he was already eating his starter, well after the intended time. Service timing continued to be inconsistent throughout the meal. One guest received her main course approximately ten minutes before the rest of the table, leaving her to dine alone while others waited. In summary, while the kitchen delivered an excellent dining experience, the front-of-house operations were far below the standard expected at this price point. For a premium restaurant, service should enhance—not detract from—the overall experience.
