Went for dinner with friends. Not worth writing much about.

Went for dinner with friends. Not worth writing much about. The service was professional and friendly and the decor was lovely but the food -which is kind of important - was mediocre at best and the wine list was a disgrace. People say the chef came from Somm. I wish he had brought the wine list with him. They are selling bad, cheap wine at rip off prices and the selection is nothing to write home about.

The starters on the 6 course were ok-ish but again you expect more given the reputation and location of the restaurant. The main of Dover Soul was over cooked to dry. The alternative pork was whatever.

But going back to the wine. Ordered a Mersault at $1200 which was nasty and bitter. Then ordered the next one at $2500 which was clearly badly stored. Went through multiple others to find a decent drop but in the end gave up. We had no wine with our mains. Very disappointing.

The desert was rubbish.

All in, we wouldn’t go back. This is not a place for anyone who knows anything about good food.
