Bad Points
Pretentious. Poor lighting. Clinical. Souless
General Comments
Four of us Visited Fish On The Green the evening of Saturday 21st for the first time.
We found the d cor uninspiring to the point of being clinical. In fact it would have probably been more inviting had it still been the public conveniences it was before conversion.
Lighting is obviously designed to create a "mood" but unless you are actually sitting beneath one of the (few) wall lights the menu is impossible for me to read
Staff were attentive although we felt they were aloof and robotic- barely willing to interact and came across to me as very cold.
Food was of a reasonably high quality and well cooked & presented
Pricing we all thought was on the high side for what is a non-London based restaurant serving upper mid range food.
In summary:
Trying to be something it quite clearly isn't
We would not go back- simply because the service and price do not match their perceived customer experience. Certainly not ours.

There are no right or wrong reviews- just differing impressions, opinions and experiences.
