| - Went with a group of nine, after making a booking, 8 of us arrived while the 9th was parking the car. Once we all sat down and told the waitress the 9th was parking,she set about removing his place setting. When he arrived not two minutes later, we had to request that she bring it back, about which she wasn't too impressed - sorry, he'll just stand outside then? Our waitress had a rare affliction called "I'm having the worst time of my life in this job and as such, refuse to smile".
Bread was good, and the wine list is great. We all (bar one, who regretted it later!) ordered the Prix Fixe and funnily enough all ordered the same thing. Butternut Squash which was delicious, with one person having the Romaine Hearts, very nice as well. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, french fries meh but it would have been really nice to have some greenery, maybe some beans or something? Or the possibility or ordering side salads, but they're apparently not offered with the Prixe Fixe.
The desert, the flourless chocolate cake, damn, sugar coma. It was basically butter and cocoa powder whipped into a ganache triangle of doom with some salted caramel sauce (delicious but unfortunately scant) and two small berries. No one was able to finish it, it was so rich it was almost unpleasant. Almost.
The wait between the main and dessert was about 50 minutes, which for a not busy Monday night was kind of frustrating, made more irritating by the moody patoody waitress.
Over all, if I'd been by myself or in a twosome I would have been a bit miffed, but I was with great company so all was forgiven.
