Been here many times over the last 10 years and sad to say, but it’s likely to be a good while until I visit again. Had a table booked for 4 at 9.30. From the moment we arrived, we were rushed by rather rude and...fairly aggressive waiting staff. None of the friendly service that was so obvious when collecting takeaways during lockdown. That seems to be a thing of the past now the restaurant is open to diners again.
At 9.55 I had had enough and asked when they were closing assuming it was imminently. No, they close at 11pm and I was told “so you have a little bit of time yet”. We were halfway through our main courses by this stage and were well on our way by 1030. It just felt like we were a hindrance but the place was far from empty and we weren’t holding anyone up.
Seriously, in a really competitive environment, your service is going to have to improve drastically or your regulars will vote with their feet. I will be heading elsewhere next time.
On the plus side, the food was as good as ever so it’s a real shame but I don’t think I’ll be rushing back. My fellow diners feel the same way. Pity.More
