点评:Really disappointing experience
We came in for our wedding anniversary one Thursday evening. We chose from the main menu.
For starters husband ordered the fish pancake and I had the scallops. They were priced at around £15 and £19 each I think. The pancake was ok - no real complaints, well presented and OK taste, nothing exciting. I had the scallops, the presentation was beautiful however it only came with two small scallops. The overall taste quite bland. It came with a cracker on the side which was unbelievably sweet it tasted like sesame seeds set in a sweet sugary honey, it didn’t go with the savoury dish at all and stuck in my teeth, I left this.
For main we both had the pork belly - the cheapest on the main menu at £30 per portion. Again it looked beautiful. However the pork belly was very dry, not the usually crispy fat, indulgent experience we would expect. Actually it was some of the worst pork belly I’ve had in my life.
My husband had two glasses of wine - this was fine. I had two soft drinks.
We skipped desserts.
The services and setting were great. The food presentation was great but overall it was tasteless food.
The bill was £136.
For a fine dining experience at a Michelin star restaurant paying these prices I expected a lot more. Most things like service and presentation were good but it was massively let down by the lack of flavour in the dishes - I expected to be wowed by food that melted in the mouth and we were really left wanting so much more. We’ve had many much nicer meals in the local area in recent weeks.
I would give them another try, perhaps we ordered the wrong things on a bad night, though I wouldn’t be rushing back any time soon.
翻译:真是令人失望的经历
我们在一个周四晚上来这里庆祝结婚纪念日。我们从主菜单上点了菜。
开胃菜,我丈夫点了鱼饼,我点了扇贝。我想它们的价格大概是每份15英镑和19英镑。鱼饼还行——没什么可抱怨的,卖相不错,味道也还行,没什么特别惊艳的。我点了扇贝,卖相很美,但只配了两个小扇贝。整体味道很淡。它配了一块饼干,甜得难以置信,尝起来就像芝麻泡在甜甜的蜂蜜里,和这道咸味菜肴完全不搭,还卡在了牙缝里,我把它留下了。
主菜我们俩都点了五花肉——主菜单上最便宜的一份,30英镑。它看起来也很漂亮。然而,五花肉非常干,不像我们期待的那样酥脆肥美,让人垂涎欲滴。实际上,这是我这辈子吃过的最难吃的五花肉之一。
我丈夫喝了两杯葡萄酒——还不错。我喝了两杯软饮。
我们没有点甜点。
服务和环境都很棒。菜品摆盘也很棒,但总的来说,味道寡淡。
账单是136英镑。
对于在米其林星级餐厅享受如此高昂的价格,我期待的远不止这些。服务和菜品摆盘等大部分方面都不错,但菜品本身的味道却大打折扣——我原本以为入口即化的食物会让我们惊叹不已,结果却让我们意犹未尽。最近几周,我们在当地吃过很多比这里更美味的餐厅。
我会再去一次,也许我们在一个糟糕的夜晚点错了菜,不过我不会急着再来。
