I had a very disappointing meal at the restaurant earlier this week.
My starter of fishcake (yes, one fishcake) with tartar sauce, a huge piece of lemon and a huge lettuce leaf rolled up, tasted burnt and was unpleasant. My main course, after being told that my first choice of swordfish was not available some time after ordering it, was a joke. It is nothing more than a starter on a big plate. 6 small scallops, 3 small potatoes, 1 carrot, 1 small peice of courgette in a light batter and some small runner beans, with another huge piece of lemon. Whilst I have to say that the scallops were cooked very well and tatsed lovely, this definitely should have been a starter and not a main course. Finished off with sticky toffee pudding. Unfortunately there did not appear to be much in the way of 'pudding'. It was a pile of dates in a sticky sauce with some ice cream.
Yes, I should have complained at the time, but this was a business meal I was being treated to and it was me who recommended the restaurant !
It's not often that I leave a restaurant after eating three courses and still feel hungry, and I am not a big eater.
