A recent visit to this restaurant failed to live the expectations raised by the Square Meal comments.

The food on the tasting menu was good (scallops were overcooked and small) and the cheese platter was excellent. However the service was woefully slow and completely unresponsive. It seemed as if the service was following a timed act, rather than listening to the needs of the customers. Most of my fellow diners arrived hungry and the intervals between each course were just too long. The wating staff were not bad, just unresponsive. As a result there was too much bread proferred and too much wine even before the first course was served which took ages, despite the menu being ordered in advance. And it took nearly 4hrs to get to the cheese course by which time people had to leave for home before they could have their desert…which would have been served around midnight!

The wine partnering the lamb, a Saint Emillion was served far too cold, at cellar temperature rather than at room temperature and it had not been aired in advance despite the notice and pre-ordering. Surely a basic error for a restaurant that purports to be so good. Wine selections on the whole tried to be original but were not good enough quality for the money.
