Reviews by Viator

Underwhelming

Boat ride was excellent, even though we set off late. A testing menu is a marque of an excellent restaurant. Aside from the quality of food, everything else about the dining experience was underwhelming. When we arrived food started arriving with no offer to purchase drinks. We had to hunt the waiter down after they second course. Then, both drinks on the order arrived incorrect. To top if off, I had to argue briefly the difference between two cocktails being ' the same thing anyway', and a white wine order arriving as red. The theme continued as a waitress dipped her clothing not once, but twice in our food as she served it. Despite being warned the first time. Finally, counting a sorbet as a course left us a little short changed. If everything else was perfect, this would have been excusable. But it was far from.
