Food & service good - but a little expensive; in fact the most expensive restaurant bill I've ever had (£219 for 3) but I appreciate we're in a high inflation environment. I came out annoyed though. It's doesn't feel like a relaxing experience eating here...on a Saturday evening. It's good to see a local, independent restaurant busy and buzzing but having people standing, queueing around you for a table is uncomfortable. There is no distinct bar area to have a drink while waiting, but the restaurant is clearly booking two sittings too close together, or encouraging non-bookers to come in and wait. My hunch is the former, because the clients didn't look like they'd turned up hoping to get in. Back to my annoyance. Once we'd paid we squeezed through the queue to get out and one of the queuing people said loudly and sarcastically into my face, "good night"! I'm sorry love - not my fault you had to stand and queue in a walkway for a table you had booked; I was enjoying a £200 meal my wife had bought me for my birthday (and there was no time constraint on my booking). I don't think it's an isolated experience. I refer to the Valetine's night review recently this year.More
