OK I admit it - I dine out far too much. I just got back from a very pleasant evening at Watermark.My friend and I had not seen each other in some time so we started chatting and it was quite some time before we got around to ordering.

My friend and I had not seen each other in some time so we started chatting and it was quite some time before we got around to ordering. The waiter approached us a few times before we eventually did manage it but was in no way pushy.
We each had a starter, main course and dessert with a bottle of white wine. Whether they gauged our preference for a relaxed dinner or were more taken up with the big group by the window, I don't know but the speed at which our food came was perfect for us to have a long chat (ie probably too slow for some).
I order pan seared foie gras, which came perfectly cooked and with some nice acidic apple to complement its richness. My friend had steak tartare which, surprisingly for a starter, came with chips (fries).
She followed that up with fish (I've forgotten which though) and I had scallops with some diced vegetables. Scallops were tasty and not overcooked (something often & easily done). When ordering I had asked the waiter if I would need to order an extra side dish and he correctly advised me that, since I had ordered a starter, I would have sufficient with the main dish itself.
Dessert was a lemon tart which was lovely and tart, as opposed to excessively sugary, & a small caremilised apple tart which we were told would take 25 minutes as it was cooked on the spot. Both were delicious.
Staff were not at all rushing us but, at that point we thought we had better leave as they were clearing up for the night.
