Review of Mediamatic

I've felt very conflicted on whether to leave this...

I've felt very conflicted on whether to leave this review, but I had to be honest about my experience and was very disappointed by my dinner at Serres Separees. After being lucky enough to book in before the hype built up too much, I had my anniversary dinner in one of the little glass cabins. While the cabins themselves were very cute, the overall experience was not. At 50pp (excl drinks) you expect a certain level of service/food and what was provided did not add up. The website stated they could cater for all dietry requirements and despite emailing and calling to confirm I was gluten allergic, the first meal appeared with homemade bread (a major part of the meal). When I asked the chef it is was gluten free he said no and he would check if they had any. He never returned. Second course was aspargus, which was ok but nothing to write home about. Had to confirm that the 3rd course could be changed out from spaghetti to risotto for myself, which was served to my bf also who could eat spaghetti so I don't know why this was the case. It was alright, but quite small, which was disappointing as the previous courses had been bite size. Finally the dessert comes and its serve on a brownie. When I asked if its gluten free the waitress tells me no and it is taken away and the whole dish is re-served without the brownie component. Despite the dietary issue, and I don't leave reviews like this often but my boyfriend & I both agree it was just very underwhelming for 50pp.
