    The food was tasty and looked lovely but very small portions for fish dishes. One meat dish was not cooked enough- steak came rare rather than well done as requested. The meal had to be returned which meant one guest had to wait even longer and was eating after everyone else had finished. Service was appalling. We waited very long periods of time to order and for the food to arrive. We had to get up and ask for the dessert menu and for service to place our order. Waiting staff were also rude enough to keep glaring across at us whilst we dined. A very uncomfortable, expensive experience which we will not be repeating!
