Until about 4/6 months back we were very regular visitors to this
eaterie considering it to be one of the best in the area. The prices
reflected the standard of food and service that one was getting. However,
the ownership changed leading to the departure of the chef and Maitre
d (female) who so confidently managed the affairs outside the kitchen.
We gave it a try after the change and in the early stages it wasn't
too bad but, got progressively worse to the stage where you would
have to pay us to eat there. On the last occassion the produce on
the plate was more voluminous than flavoursome, the service sloppy
and amateurish (youngsters who are clearly learning on the job! It's
not their fault if there is no experienced hand there to train them.)
A typical example was when my wife enquired of the head waiter as
to what exactly was a particular sweet on the dessert menu. He leaned
over and (in all seriousness) read from the menu in my wife's hand
as the proffered elucidation. Clearly he felt she had lost the ability
to read that evening. Er, no we were after a more expansive description
to assist in the decision making. A fairly hefty bill of close to
£200 and a most unsatisfactory meal in all regards concluded us to
strike it off our list. A sad loss. I suspect it has continued to
lose trade, and it probably doesn't even realise why. Mr. Bud Taste |
