| - I went here last night for my birthday dinner with a few friends. It was somewhat busy, but we got seated right away. I was looking forward to eating here as its a UK company and its food i grew up on as a kid in England.
Our server didn't introduce himself, took our order and left. One of my dinner mates said he seemed to get an attitude becos we didn't order much food and only one drink. He delivered my friends beer and wasn't seen again till our food arrived about 25mins or so later. I was beginning to wonder if they'd forgotten about our meals. The music was also very loud.
The food arrived, but they had dropped one of the meals on the floor so they offered a salad while my friend waited for her cornish pasty, and once more it took a while to get her food.
I'm vegetarian and ordered the vegetarian Greek Cornish pasty, it was horrid, mostly cheese, i didn't like the flavour and only had a few bites as i felt sick and my stomach started to hurt. Everyone else loved theirs.
Our server was MIA, never came back to check on us so i couldn't order something else. When he did finally come over (a long while later) to pick up the plates, everyone had finished they food, i told him i didn't like mine, he responded somewhat flippantly along the lines of "well, you could have gotten something else". I calmly said Ok I'll have the bread and butter pudding, thinking that might be quicker to get vs another meal. OMG another 20mins or so later that came, Umm the top was crispy, and the inside was dry, no wonder they served it with ice cream! I had a few bites of that and gave up, so not happy. i didn't eat much at all for dinner!
Ive had bread and butter pudding many times growing up, this was NOTHING LIKE THAT! An Italian place called Mia Francesca in Chicago has fantastic bread and butter pudding. Being from England, i know what its supposed to be like.
I think the guy who served us may have been called Jay, it was the only name on the bill. We all wished we could have had the other guy who served the next table over from us who had dark/black hair and beard. Our guy had light brown hair and beard. He did take my Cornish pasty off the bill.
Needless to say i was very disappointed with the food and the whole experience. So i wont be hurrying back.
