spend time on training

We visited this restaurant recently with our family. Were told to wait in the bar despite the fact that it was obvious a table was set and available for our party of five..clearly not reserved for anyone.....the restaurant was empty. It was a late Sunday lunch...no preconceived notions of the restaurant ...recognised Chef's name as someone I had heard of, so realised we were potentially in the company of greatness! Waitresses spilled water everywhere, quite nonchalant, another one came over and rattled off the specials, reading from a notebook.....not very professional...genuinely struggled to catch what she was saying, and amazed she couldn't do it from memory..it didn't seem complicated to me. Noticed three waitresses all had lovely French manicures...don't know if that is part of their grooming allowance, but if it is, they should rather spend time on training. I left my jersey behind and as we did not leave a tip it was thrust at me as we stepped out the door in a very sullen manner. As for the food...expensive and my chicken was slightly undercooked and swimming in a tasteless yellow gravy...the cerviche also had no taste...my boys did not like their half raw pork either...the chowder was good according to my husband, wine at $9 a glass really pricey...overall not somewhere we would hurry back....$300 and no dessert or coffee...seemed a lot. Sorry no cigar!

Out of the 2 entrees we ordered one was fantastic

This place was ok. Out of the 2 entrees we ordered one was fantastic and the other was quite gross. And out of both of our mains one was fantastic and the other had to be send back. They didn't charge us for the main that was sent back, and it was still VERY expensive. I searched trip advisor for a $$ restaurant and this was suggested and it was more like $$$. The service was great except for the rude girl at the front, but our waitress was lovely. Don't know if I would recommend it, solely based on the fact that it's not worth the money.
