| - I hesitated to write this because it seemed so implausible that we waited for close to 40 minutes to have our order taken, I feared no one would believe it. But I see that someone else had the same problem! After waiting about 10 minutes, our waiter appeared to tell us he'd be with us soon. "Soon" didn't happen for a very long time. We were with friends who had recommended the place based on food served at a Chadwick event (same kitchen, we're told) and we were enjoying our conversation, so decided to not make a fuss, but finally when a manager looking person appeared at a table near us, we asked if we would get service soon. Our waiter magically appeared. Service after that was mediocre. I went to the bar myself to get a drink rather than "bothering"our waiter. Many tables were empty, so we could not figure out what the problem might be, but our waiter seemed possibly to be having a personal problem, perhaps. My dinner was tasty and fresh, but my husband's fish was dry. We had arrived about 15 minutes early (a Saturday night) and waited in the bar for our friends, although our table was ready. Bartender was pleasant and accommodating. When we left at about 9, most of the tables were empty. Under other circumstances, we would have complained to a manager, but we did not want to cast a worse shadow on an evening out with friends. An email the next day to explain our less than satisfying experience has gone unanswered. I felt I would try that before complaining publically. We won't be going back.
