Emperor's new clothes - pretensions of greatness but no substance of any kind. We went the summer before last and had a wonderful meal. This time (2/5/10) Marshall appeared to have been beguiled by the fine art/fine dining movement but clearly lacks the skills to pull it off, the end result being a confusing combination of mismatched flavours which left one completely unsatisfied in every sense. The once magnificent cheese board has now diminished to a somber looking bunch of dried out specimens that would better grace a Christmas buffet down at the local sports and social club. This really was a terribly disappointing experience from a restaurant which promised so much. Marshall needs to rethink or move on, quickly.
