Came here for an early Valentine’s Day dinner with my wife on the Friday night before Valentine’s. Atmosphere was good, however after being sat we did wait about 15-20min before our server came to take drink orders. We got a Paloma and a Margarita with tequila instead of Mezcal. Drinks were disappointing but still drinkable, they didn’t have much flavor and the Paloma is stated to have normal tequila on the menu but they served it with Mezcal, which is very much an acquired taste as it’s extremely smoky. My wife had to drink my margarita and I drank the Paloma since she doesn’t like Mezcal.

Food took about an hour to arrive after ordering, despite us ordering two appetizers which was the elote and salsa trio, which I’d imagine is already prepped and should’ve come out earlier than our main course. However, once the food did arrive, it was all very good. For the main course, we had the potatoes, tuna tostadas, beef birria quesadilla, pork carnitas, and the cod cheek tacos. Beef birria quesadilla and the cod cheek was probably our favorite, both very tasty. Carnitas were our least favorite, but still very good. The elote and salsa trio also really enjoyable, and nice to have salsa for our tacos.

All in all it was a very tasty dinner, but really disappointing service and drinks. I would’ve ordered a beer before finishing our food but our server never returned until the food was done. We also would’ve ordered the churros as they looked good, but didn’t want to wait 30+ minutes for dessert and were ready to go home after a total of over 2hrs at this restaurant, most of which was spent waiting. I understand it was a Friday night and the restaurant appeared somewhat busy, but frankly I don’t think waiting an hour for food to arrive is acceptable, especially at what’s supposed to be a...

The Cost of Caution: When 'Safety First' Means 'No Service'

In the 22 years that my wife and I have been together, we have dined at a good many restaurants, both here in the UK and abroad. We have always been upfront when entering these establishments, informing them of my wife's unique allergy, called silver birch allergy. While we've sometimes required special accommodations, we've never been turned away until today.​

I fully appreciate a restaurant's need to avoid serious allergic reactions, but as a hospitality business, a reasonable effort should be made to accommodate guests. We were politely turned away due to a fear of cross-contamination, which was disappointing. Most kitchens are capable of taking standard precautions to prevent this, such as using separate utensils and preparation surfaces.​

For future reference, I would highly recommend that your team explores solutions to safely accommodate guests with allergies. This could include training your staff to properly handle special requests, as well as providing a waiver for guests to sign, acknowledging that they are comfortable dining at your restaurant after you have made every effort to ensure their safety.​

We hope you will consider these suggestions so that others with allergies can enjoy your restaurant in the future. *The restaurant in question was the at the...
