We had a generally enjoyable experience, as the food was great as always. However, on our most recent visit, we encountered two young waiters who unfortunately did not meet the standards of The Vine and seemed more suited to a fast food environment. One of the waiters brought a slate to share between my wife and me but dropped some of the food from the slate onto the floor right beside the table. He saw it and left it there for the young woman to pick up. To make matters worse, the slate was incomplete with three ramekins, but only two contained anything. I took the slate back to the young woman and pointed out: firstly, if you drop part of a dish, it should not be brought to the table; it needs to go back to the kitchen. Secondly, it’s essential to check the dish before bringing it to the table, referring to the empty ramekin. After this, we had a change of waiter, and everything was perfect.
