    No atmosphere , too few staff and food was ordinary . The wine waiter poured the wine without asking if we wished to taste and then filled every glass to a different level . When he was requested to open the red to let it breath, he didn’t know why we wanted to do that .. This at Hotel du vin !!! The clue is in the title .

    The overall experience was nice and majority of food was lovely. However they really need work on the presentation of the black pudding salad. I really hope this allows me to upload a photo- because it looked honestly like a dog had squatted onto a salad plate. I’ll leave it at that!! My poor mum didn’t know what to say ( we were all laughing becasue it looked so awful) so she just broke it up and ate it. A better woman than me!!
