"Great start, both starters and mains were wonderful, and accompanied by some fabulous wines. But... the mains were cleared, along with the empty wine bottle and after some half hour of waiting to even see a member of staff we gave up on the chance of being offered dessert or another drink and cut short what should have been a wonderful 50th birthday meal, leaving instead with a sense of bitter disappointment. Spent a lot of money for what should have been a great experience only to regret the whole thing."
