Came with friends. Ordered the traditional Grilled Limpets and Regional Beef on Skewer. Limpets was absolutely incredible and very flavourful. One of my friends had the Octopus Carpaccio and it was delicious.

The beef however I asked for medium rare and whilst some of the cubes were cooked perfectly and was amazing, most of the cubes were either very rare or near enough blue which wasn’t very pleasant to eat personally as it was a little chewy, so I couldn’t finish.

I actually never do reviews but I really wanted feedback on the night but didn’t feel comfortable doing so at the time but I still really want to share my experience with one of the waitress. Both the manager and possibly the owner was very friendly and kind but there was one British waitress who was a bit shocking.

She started setting up our table and she spoke with a British accent so I asked her (as a fellow Brit) if she was from UK and which region she’s from - completely ignored me (she definitely heard me..) and was really disinterested in engaging with us. I understand if waiters are in a rush but I asked her at the start of her table set up and there was a lot of time for her to engage with us but instead, all of us felt this long awkward silence until she finished the set up when she didn’t answer. Then when we finished, I asked to pack my food (this fried cube dough which was very delicious) and she said there’s a charge for a box so I asked if there was just a paper bag we could have as a box wasn’t necessary. She didnt answer, walked away to get the bag but not before both me and my friend caught her rolling her eyes at us! Then when she came to take the payment for our bill, we were still trying to calculate our shares, she was very visibly annoyed at us and walked away and seemed very jmpatient. Again, I understand waiters/Waitresses (I was once myself) have little time to tend to everyone but there were absolutely no warmth and her mannerism was just constantly rude and impatient. We didn’t feel comfortable every time she served us and the dinner felt a bit tense. We overheard her speak to the table behind and she was also very condescending and rude. We actually planned on having dessert but we just wanted to get out as soon as possible. We all have bad days but it doesn’t justify how you treat people.

Overall the food was pretty good but I’m not so sure I would dine again as I’ve had better in other restaurants in terms of food quality and most importantly.. service…
