We went on the 2 for £29 deal for my birthday as we don't have a spare £100 for a restaurant meal. We got in, they were pleasant enough, but when I revealed we were on the deal, the contempt began. We got left out a menu which didn't explain which meals were on the deal, then when I asked and got told 'that side' the choices werent that great. Steak Hache (basically a burger) and some Lamb thing which was essentially lamb done like stewing steak. the bread on the table was nice as was our 'paupers wine' ("you only get merlot" barked the waitress) there was no indication of what cost extra, and they put on service charge as well. Having had a bit of an unplesant experience and treatment, the highlight was the pecan and honey ice cream. worth every penny and very nice. would never return and pay proper prices. Staff were too busy cooing over men in posh suits blowing expense accounts to deal with us properly. Only go if you look like you're moneyed (and youi'll need it for the bill!)
