Food was very good as always, we had the ‘As good as it gets’ set menu. Service was dreadful though, my wife ordered a glass of Rose and after waiting 5 minutes we called the same waitress over to ask where her drink was only to be told they had run out of Rose. She then ordered a glass of white wine, and after waiting a while again, still didn’t receive it, so she decided to go to the bar to ask for it but was told it would be brought over. Still nothing, so she had to go to the bar again and ask where it was and again was told it would be brought over. Finally it was served to her at the fourth time of asking! When the bill came we were charged for 2 glasses of wine, so I had to ask for one to be taken off!
