Food 8 Ambience 7 Service 3 Value 4

Fairly average eating venue with great views if you can put up with everything else. Despite booking a table for eight in the restaurant we were advised that we would have to sit outside. Normally this would be fine, but considering it was a cold, blowy and wet evening, this made out experience thoroughly unenjoyable. Couple this with repeated requests to turn the outdoor braisiers on so that we could warm up, left us disappointed with the service.

Mutliple repeats of orders, wines, glasses and peppers being served without ordering, mistakes with delivery of the meals, made for substandard servicing from what is a high priced restaurant. Couple this with food that, whilst enjoyably tasty, arrived in miniscule portions. The veal scallopini arrived in two portions, each not much larger than a 50 cent coin. Whilst its combintation with the crab was different and delightful I was still starving by the end of the 5 minutes it took to eat it.

Thankfully the plates were hot and so we managed to warm ourselves whilst waiting for the remainder of the group to be served. Dessert was simple but tasty, with just about the whole table going for the Creme Brulee. Tasty without being exceptional.

Overall quite a tasty place to eat if you can survive the average service, small portions, and poor value. Probably no need to go back.
