You know what you're getting into with F&B, I like it despite the sometimes confusing menu but when i was looking for dinner on my own I thought why not?
Well I'm sorry to say I wasn't impressed.
The place was not busy, there seemed to be 3 serving staff on plus a drinks waiter. None acknowledge me when I walked in and after a good 3 or 4 mins of standing there the drinks waiter assured me someone would be with me.
I waited.
A party of 4 turned up and he did the same to them. A waitress appeared and without acknowledging me, took the party of 4 to a table.
I waited.
I was left standing there like a lemon. I should have left then but I persevered and another waitress showed me to a booth and left me with a menu before I could order a beer.
I spent the next 10 minutes trying to order at least a beer as others were shown to seats and offered a drink.
Eventually I managed to catch the eye of the waitress who had shown me to my seat and I was able to order - although it was clear she didn't know the menu so I ended up pointing at things - I don't think her English was especially bad although it didn't seem to be her first language so I was patient.
I'd almost finished my beer by the time the food came. It wasn't until I was half way through the plate that I realised no one had brought me any sauces, I tried to catch the eye of a waiter but I was finished eating before anyone showed any interest.
All the time the restaurant was less than half full.
I'm Wrote this over my beer at 8:30 on a Weds evening so hardly peak.
The food was just OK not very tasty, not bad but nothing special. Not sure if I was just feeling unloved at that stage. I ordered another beer, it arrive just as I was finishing my meal.
Got to say I was disappointed at this F&B. I did the only thing we Brits can do, I said nothing, paid the bill and shock horror, left no tip. That's the first time I've done that for years.
I won't be back here again in a hurry, it's left me disappointed in F&B. 2 stars because 1 seems harsh but I was tempted. read more
