I expected much more from a restaurant with a Michelin star.
Walk in, beautiful decor, no one takes your coat, hang it on the back of your chair, no table cloths, very noisy and boomy.
The staff were pleasant & friendly, but it felt like an expensive TGI Fridays, customers wearing jeans and trainers, I expected much, much better.
Dim lighting and a menu printed in a tiny serif font, hard to read.
Ordered cocktails & water, bottle of tepid water delivered, with. glasses, no ice, not poured, DIY.
Starter arrives, it's OK. My main course, half a lobster for 30, had to ask for crackers for the claw, tiny lobster, almost no meat and not must taste - best part were the chips.
1.5 hrs between ordering and main course, have to keep asking for service, to place food and drink orders, feel forgotten.
Shared the bite sized desert, very, very average, ice cream/sorbet parts had melted on the plate before it arrived, it included flame torched halves of (hard, unripe) pineapple with the stork left in - how do you cut it without a knife (not provided).
Bill arrives with two drinks we didn't order - lucky we checked. But they didn't forget to add the 12.5% service tip. Decor is beautiful, but not intimate, grand piano on a raised platform, hoped I would hear it, but instead rock music was playing. Beautiful setting, could have been so much better.
