Gone are the inventive dishes and changing menus, replaced instead with substandard pseudo Italian fare and other bits and bobs …. which when they arrive are mediocre at best.
The waiting staff are genuinely nice and eager to please, we left as quickly as we could… pathetically too polite to tell them what we really thought. Wines are cheap …… and taste like it.
…… and call me a pedant but I’ve never seen an English menu in a restaurant in England with as many typos.
We won’t be going back unless it changes hands again. We really enjoyed the Lock, and Mosaica at the Lock before it and are really sad to see what’s happened with this latest incarnation.
