I was here three years ago and seem to remember being quite happy with the experience. Not this time though. The welcome was lukewarm but the food was awful. From ordering to food arriving at the table was around 5 minutes. Clearly the food had been lying under heat lamps for a long time. The fish in my wife's fish n chips, sole allegedly, was dry and chewy and was encased in a batter that had the texture of soggy cardboard ... and tasted like it. The chips were sparse and wrinkled ... not fat as indicated on the menu. My risotto was glutinous and salty. Add to that the staff's keeness to move us along and all in all we had an experience to forget. In its favour, the location is fantastic, the beer cold and the wine palatable. But we won't return.
