I have no complaints about the food, the starters and dessert were especially lovely. However, the service was the worst I have received at any restaurant let alone a fine dining. It was a Monday night and we had to beg to be served, waited 20 mins to be seated (despite booking) and a further 30 mins before someone even came to the table.
To be fair I don’t believe it was the staff’s fault as they were clearly understaffed/ under trained. The waiter explained that he was new so we cannot really complain.
However the hostess was very rude at every encounter from the time we arrived to the time we left. She told us we had 2 hours to eat (after taking 20 mins to seat us and we arrived 10 mins early to a person in the queue in front of us who was also getting frustrated with them) and then came to try to kick us off our table while we still had mains on the table. We were not to blame for the slow service and were also charged extra for that table near a window, the way she spoke to us was blunt and dismissive. Her attitude was just very poor and she definitely was not suited to a customer service role.
The meal was ruined by another hostess shouting “SERVICE” into the restaurant every 2 minutes. It was shocking, I could not enjoy my meal. The waiters have eyes and it is a full restaurant so surely they know/ can see the food is there. Surely it would be better to just have someone on pass, bringing food out, rather than employ someone just to shout service repeatedly into a room of people trying to enjoy their meal. It was like I was in McDonalds, except slower and harder to speak to a member of staff.
The decor and views are lovely though so if you have a lot of money to spare then I guess it’s worth it for that. But if you’re looking for a special evening with a nice ambience this is not it.
