The food and service were excellent. We did have to wait a bit to be seated, but it was because the people sitting at our reserved table weren’t leaving. I’m definitely planning on going back soon, the food was delicious

Omelettes were delicious! Mac and cheese was adequate. Sticky rice bowl was not very good and lacked flavor. Enjoyed the sticky toffee and banana trifle were delicious.

Worst DiningOut experience I’ve had in years. Food was boring and so bland. I could (and do!) make a better lentil soup and Caesar salad at home. Both were absolutely without flavor. My Companion ordered the chicken breast and left most of it; didn’t even want to take it home with her. The molten chocolate cake with ice cream was yummy and when I inquired whether it came with whipped cream, the waitress offered to add a bit to the dish. Well, she didn’t tell me that two tablespoons of whipped cream would cost an extra $3. My soup, salad, cake and one glass of wine came to $72 before tip. Ridiculous, even by NY standards. The atmosphere is cozy and charming; however, the framed insects stuck with straight pins behind glass was not exactly something one likes to see while dining. Or ever, for that matter. To add insult to injury, our reservation was at 8:30 and by 10:00 the dining room had emptied and the waitress and bus staff hovered a few tables away waiting for us to leave. Inexcusable. Total waste of money and time. If I could give it zero stars I would.
