On this occasion a midweek lunch for two. As I always find the service was excellent from the initial attentive greeting to having the door held open on departure, the staff are well trained and professional, friendly, polite and attentive when appropriate and discreet when they perceive that to be suitable……..nobody says “there you go, …..enjoy “ when serving, the serviettes and tablecloths are linen, there is Melba toast, the table setting is lovely with good quality cutlery and plates etc. The food choice is sensibly limited to five for each course, all of which are tempting and delicious; once decided upon the food arrives after just the right time lapse, is well presented and on hot plates and perfectly served at the table. The tables are well spaced which I like, the wine list is very comprehensive, at the same time tap water is offered. The same staff are generally present especially Michael and Paul (plus others whose names I’m ashamed to say I don’t remember), which is special. I never get the impression that the main objective is to take money off me, rather to provide excellent value and top quality at a very reasonable cost. The whole experience reminds me of the best quality hotel restaurants of the 1950/1960s when I was little. Thank you to all those concerned. Keith Knowles.
