Totally underwhelmed by the whole experience. We were a group of three and shared the various starters. They were ok but there is not much you can do to spoil a smoked trout and cucumber salad. The main course selection was an interesting experience and which took us a little time to fathom out. Two staff members took the order, one was obviously new and learning the ropes and the other her mentor. We selected chicken with rice x2 and turbot x1. The senior staff member rushed to tell us we would not manage the chicken dish twice, as the sauce was so rich. Like idiots we listened and swapped out a chicken portion for lemon sole. The best dish of the three was the chicken despite the rice being very burned and stuck to the dish with the smallest portions of chicken I have ever seen. We realised to our annoyance, that we had suffered from an occasion of upselling. The fish was more money than the chicken. There was nothing rich about the drumstick and other small pieces in the dish, just the concocted tale!
