I went with a group of 20 or so people last night for dinner, and unfortunately I have been thoroughly disappointed by this establishment.

The service was dismaying - I was not finished with eating my bread roll and an employee approached our table and took my plate without asking me if I was finished with my meal or not. The etiquette was unsatisfactory, the server often leaned over the table instead of coming up to patrons. The staff agreed to take an order of a starter as the size a main course from one of my fellow patrons, but he recieved the starter as the size it originally was. The server did not know that the establishment do not serve starter menu items in main course sizes, it was unfortunate that she accepted an order of the mediterranean vegetable terrine in a main course size and could not deliver.

The quality and quantity of the food for the price it cost was, quite honestly, shocking. I ordered the seared shark bay scallops and the black label berkshire pork belly. The scallops were slightly undercooked, the cauliflower cream was extremely watered down and bland, and the jamon was essentially tasteless.
The pork belly was too tough and the apple sauce was as lacking in taste as the cauliflower cream.

The location of this restaurant is pleasant (which is where my one star goes to), and offers a great view, and would make as an excellent place to go and have a drink, but I cannot recommend this place to anyone who is looking to enjoy a meal.
I'm all for supporting our local businesses, but when a local business has no respect for their own business, how can I?
