Bill's Worcester Restaurant

Went for LATE Saturday dinner with two friends(9PM). Great service but food from kitchen was a disappointment. Starters of chicken liver pate, fried calamari and humous were fine but the chef appears to have given up when it came to the mains. I had the recommended ribs which, although the meat did fell off the bones, it did so for the wrong reason. The sauce was actually quite nice but unfortunately was smeared on very dry meat which slid off fossilized bones. The chopped red cabbage and carrots comforting the well cooked meat were at least quite crunchy. The chicken dish my friend had looked ok and was consumed but was a case of hunger driven rather than enjoyment. The third order of seafood/fish pie with a side order of green salad was a rather unpleasant assault on our eyes and no more friendlier to our palates. The soggy lettuce had brown edges and the avocado 'mash' poured over it was quite unforgivable (see pic). The mash potatoes on the pie looked like they were specs of dried mash scraped off the bottom of a bowl from yesterday's mash. The sauce underneath the pie were just about edible but rather bland at best. The waitresses who presented these dishes looked quite worried and they had cause to be concerned. The waitress expressed concern we did not finish our dishes and asked for our honest opinion. We gave our very honest opinions and hats off to them, they took the offending mains off our bill quite speedily. I suspect the food is normally of a much better standard and we were unfortunate to be the last table ordering after 9pm. 5 stars to the waiting staff but only 1 star for food quality (for late dinner).
