This restaurant was empty when we arrived and we wondered why?? We soon found out that attention to detail was sadly missing. I ordered a carafe of wine and when it arrived the wine was extremely hot. It just warm. I complained and they brought an ice bucket with very little ice in it. After 30 minutes I asked again for the ice bucket to be filled with ice. They did this but it was an hour before the wine was at a reasonable temperature to drink. I ordered the muscles with broccoli cream sauce. I got a bit 150 muscle shells and they did not smell fresh. The quality of the shell fish was poor. My wife had a prawn cocktail but the prawns had not been deveined and this is disgusting for the kitchen staff to fail to miss in any restaurant The next course was Sea bass. This unfortunately had not been filleted and it was a battle to get rid of endless bones and the head. All in all a bad experience we won’t be back.
