The best restaurants serving Other international-cuisines food in Braintree East of England

Disappointed. We have visited the restaurant many times over many years and always enjoyed it. Unfortunately our last visit was disappointing. The service, whilst friendly, was very very slow. The wait between our starters and main was nearly half hour with no explanation. Wine order was forgotten and then dessert took a while to be taken. The restaurant was no busier than we have seen in the past so not sure why things were not as good as usual. The food also did not seem it’s usual standard either. The bread was very poor, the starters were nice but nothing special. The main courses were very poor and underwhelming. We ordered the lobster and the beef wellington, both we felt could have been presented far better. The wellington was small and overcooked and the potatoes we burnt and soggy. It was supposed to be served with a red wine jus, however it tasted like thick bistro. The lobster presentation was also underwhelming, salad in a small glass dish and pile of chips! However the desserts were good. Please can we go back to the lovely homemade bread, exceptional service and high standard of dishes.
