This is lovely room with great views across the water. The young wait staff are very polite and attentive. Unfortunately that's about all we could praise on our visit. Firstly, we were seated by the window but it was very sunny and we were informed the blinds on the window were broken and couldn't be lowered to make it more comfortable for us. Then we were presented with the menu. This was substantially shorter than the menu posted on line and also on display in the entry way to the building. Most of the interesting items had been removed leaving only standard pub grub type offerings. We had chosen this venue because it had an interesting menu. We queried why the menu was different and were told that it was due to "staffing shortages in the kitchen". Given that the menu only contained standard, and in our opinion quite simple, items we would have expected them to be excellent. Our prawn starter was meant to be in tempura batter but it was a much thicker batter than that. Not unpleasant by any means but not what we expected. In the mains one of our party had to send back his fish and chips. The batter was overcooked and quite dark brown, but the fish inside was considered undercooked. When this was remade it was better and at least edible but by no means good. The other choices were okay but not exactly great. The Mac and cheese was quite dry and could have used more cheese sauce. At least the staff took off part of the cost of the bill and offered us a free tea or coffee to make up for our disappointment.
