A group of us, six colleagues and myself, decided to have lunch at Limehouse today since some of us had been there previously and raved about this small restaurant's fish and chips. Despite not having a reservation, the restaurant was able to seat our party right away in the front room. Because the sought after fish and chips were not on the set lunch menu, our waitress offered to include our desired dish on the menu for the set price, so we were thrilled. Two in our group chose the pasta dish,
No sooner had I begun to eat my chicken did I realize it was raw in the middle. This, of course, prompted my two other colleagues to check their dishes and sure enough, the chicken breasts on their plates were also raw. The restaurant agreed to fire up new chicken breasts for us, but the damage was already done. Our waitress and her supervisor seemed barely concerned about this major mishap, which could have landed a few of us in the hospital, and didn't seem to grasp the severity of the situation. When our final bill was discounted one set meal, the woman who seemed "in charge" rudely remarked that she would give us a discount, "but only this time!" .... Ahhh, the pleasure I would have had to be a food safety inspector at that moment. Quick note to chef: Chicken is meant to be cooked well done, not medium rare.
This restaurant is attractive and seems to have a popular following, since the food was alright. However, given our recent experience and the surprisingly casual way the staff dealt with our near bout of food poisoning, I wonder what other things are being overlooked in the kitchen. I certainly do not have plans of returning to Limehouse anytime soon to find out.
