Food was tasteless and not very freshAte the menu offered by restaurant week. Calamari was dry and batter was tasteless. King crab chitarra pasta was stringy and sauce had no taste whatsoever. The pork knuckle was just salty although the presentation was good. Tiramisu was just sweet - couldn’t taste the coffee liqueur or the coca powder. The iced lemon tea tasted like water with lemon slices.All in all - didn’t live up to expectations as it’s neighbouring Japanese Honjokko restaurant is very good …Read More

Went for a takeaway latte, wanted to add sugar hence I asked for a stirer - unbelievably the shop says they have none and no other help offered. So I had to help myself to a long metal knife at the cutlery section. I handed the used utensil back to staff and asked if I could dispose of the sugar wrapped in metal box on the counter as it looked like it contained rubbish - staff responded “of course not, does it look like a rubbish tin” and pointed to a bin.

Overall very poor quality …Read More

The menu looked promising. With 5 starters all to be shared with mains to be selected by each diner. Meal started well with bread and olive oil seasoned with fresh herbs. Things then steadily went downhill. The beef and tuna carpaccio and cold cuts were so so but the other 2 starters of deep fried seafood and deep fried bread with cheese were served a room temperature. Decided to wait for mains of lobster pasta and sirloin steak. The lobster pasta sauce had not much taste, pasta was hard and dish was served only slightly warm. The sirloin steak was at a similar temperature - room temperature at best. The dessert probably the best - 5 small ones to share.All in all very disappointing! The starters abd mains were bland tasting and even though it was a cold day - couldn’t work up an appetite …Read More
