Groan. I don't like writing bad reviews about places. but then I don't like having to walk out of restaurants because the service and food was so poor and that is what I had to do the last time I ate here, so a bad review it is!
I try to avoid this place anyway, I don't see how it supports local communities, especially small towns like Molesey. Unfortunately, greedy landlords charge extortionate amounts of money for business rental, so individual restaurants can't afford the premises, only the big chains, like Zizzi's.
So, whenever I come here it is usually because a friend has suggested it, and no amount of protest from me about mass produced food, hiked up prices and large vs small businesses will change their mind. I do think my friends view my chatter as backround noise that sometimes needs to be turned down. Anyway, I went with friends once who had wanted to come, and they ordered a pasta dish that was meant to be creamy, but the sauce was more milky then creamy. It was only after emptying the salt and pepper pot over the dish that it managed to have any flavour.
Last time I came here I turned up with two other people. The staff were worked off their feet, so we didn't get seen to for 20 minutes. Then our bottle of red was warm, so undrinkable. We waited an hour for our mains and they turned up cold. That was when we walked out. I have not been back since. read more
