i took my partner there for lunch on sunday the 17th november 2013 as part of our relaxing anniversary weekend. i am a chef by trade with 18 years exp and obviously choose places that appear to have a bit of class. we arrived and were greeted and taken to atableoutside by the street. to start with i was asked to remove my hat, ( i was in dress shorts, button up shirt with a tidy cap) to which i obliged however not 10 minutes later another couple came in and the male was not asked to remove his. i listened as a group asked for a slight variation of a menu for the children of the group and were told a resounding "no, we don't do that" another woman came in with a small dog (in the outside area) and after sitting peacefully for 10 minutes the same waitress came out and told her that her dog had to be outside the barrier, the woman and her friend decided to leave and i listened as the waitress joked about it to other staff.
i found the pork ribs were more like a braised stew and my partners chicken korma was lacking in flavour. the side of cross cut fries were enjoyable.
to top it all off the waitress forgot about the second beer i ordered so we gave up and went to pay and found that she was trying to charge us for the second beer never received.
very disappointing and certainly will not be back.
