I unfortunately didn't get to eat here, even though I wanted to get at least a dozen oysters, the tuna tartar, a main, and a dessert. Having reviewed the menue before arriving I knew exactly what I wanted. I was sat (reluctantly and with unpleasant attitude, ok maybe the man was having a hard day or whatever, so I ignored that). dining alone, 8 minutes went by without even the offer of water.
