Setting is lovely, overlooking the Thames. We get a window seat away from the throng with a vista back toward the city.Service is poor. We’re presented with menus as soon as we’re seated, and immediately asked if we are ready to order. Settle petal. The room is stuffy and very warm, with no aircon or outside breeze. Beads of perspiration abound, with sticky vinyl seats just to make things worse. The place is uncomfortable. We ask the waiter whether it’s possible to open a window, so he literally mounts the back of the bench seats with a pole to tilt the high window, stepping next to our heads and grinning like a fool down at us. It’d be comical if we weren’t ready to expire from the heat. And still no aircon.We order a cocktail while we review the simple menu. As it arrives with a large spherical ice cube, the ice cube belly flops into the glass, splashing wife and child with liquor. No apology. No towel. Nothing. Judges score at the olympics diving would give it a zero for execution. Getting awkward now.We’re given very dry, tasteless lumps of what turns out to be Yorkshire puddings, with a dish of bizarre horseradish cream. Whatever happened to warm bread rolls and fresh butter. This is weird. Don’t eat this rubbish.We order an entree of pea soup, which is presented well with a tiny saucepan of soup poured over chards of feta at the table. Then the eye fillet arrives, perfectly seared and cooked medium rare. The peppercorn sauce was however terrible. Thin, watery, tasteless – it flooded the whole plate. It soon became apparent that the thrice cooked chips were so named because they were served on Saturday. They were terrible – cold, hard but soggy, what you would expect if you stole a leftover chip from your kid’s plate at the end of the night. Yuck.The onion rings sides were however delish. The green beans and toasted almonds were cut into tiny lengths, soggy and overcooked, whilst the heritage carrots were strange small chunks, also overcooked and drowned in oil.The waitress was nervous the whole time, completely out of her depth, chatting profusely about her forthcoming trip to Thailand. Really? Focus on the food.The wine list was very basic. We ordered a malbec which was young, spirity with the usual chocolate overtones as proof of over ripe fruit.This place let itself down. Prices are reasonable, the food is ok, but everything else was frankly farcical. Go somewhere else.
Location was great, but steak was overcooked with too much fat for a Filet. The waiter did not tell us the steak would be served with a large Portabello mushroom, and so we ordered mushrooms as a side. If we had know we would not have ordered the side.
