1 /5 Peggy: What an extremely disappointing dining experience—by far one of the worst I’ve had in a long time! A friend recommended this restaurant as they’d visited it years ago, and we went with high hopes, but every single aspect let us down horribly.
First, the food was terrible. Every dish was overly sweet and totally inedible—even the cucumber salad was loaded with sugar, which was absurd. We were a group of 11, charged a buffet price of £40 per person, yet served tiny portions of each dish on small plates (only two plates per dish for the whole table). The portions were so meagre that none of us got full, and the price is ridiculously overpriced for such low quality—zero value for money.
To make it worse, the service and efficiency were appalling. The restaurant was almost empty (fewer than two tables occupied the whole time), yet we waited an unbelievable 1 hour and 40 minutes for our main courses. Slow service like this is totally unacceptable with so few customers.
On top of everything, the venue failed to deliver on its promises: we were told there would be music and live performances, but there was nothing at all—just a faint background light music, so quiet that we would have fallen asleep if we hadn’t kept chatting while waiting for our food.
After more than two hours of waiting and still being completely hungry, a few of us who could tolerate the cloying sweetness ordered one or two more dishes, but the rest of us had no appetite at all. In the end, we left the restaurant still starving with no desire to eat anything more.
Everything about this meal was a total letdown: terrible flavour, tiny portions, exorbitant prices, shockingly slow service, a lifeless atmosphere and unfulfilled promises of entertainment. This restaurant has clearly gone downhill drastically over the years, and it’s absolutely not worth a visit—we will never be back, and we’d warn everyone to avoid it!
