...plenty of bandwidth elsewhere for moaning...

We moved on to the poached eggs Benedict on smoked salmon for me and steak, eggs and chips (with harissa instead of ketchup) for my loved one. The mains were pleasantly satisfying and left us room for dessert: rhubarb cheesecake and a foamy chocolaty pudding. B2,400 with 4 glasses of a light Spanish red and water. Efficient service, peaceful garden, great Motown muzak: a wonderful experience. On our way out the live entertainment was already performing: a tuba, a trombone, a clarinet and a guitar doing standards: we left just in time. Definitely planning a return lunch visit...

Is a rusty trombone available? askin for a friend

Yes, he does have a stable consistency about himself, regarding most every OP that he's authored - more or less.
Troublemakers and petty distractors pending.....

One of the front runners for poster of the year.

^^ Whatever...

Nice review and food looks well presented. I might take the wife next time we're in town...

Yet another reason why so little effort is given....

...understandable: I imagine such negativity reduces the stress of a drab wretched life...

You know nothing of my life, because i dont broadcast the details to people i have never met, but we know everything about your life because you seem to have a compulsive need to broadcast to people you dont know, every thing you do, everywhere you go and everything you eat, and then get terribly offended when someone criticizes you.

Looks very nice.

My only complaint would be that every component of every dish is garnished with watercress and whatever the brown dust is? Thought it might be cracked pepper or paprika?

Surprised they didn't sprinkle any on the dessert.

^ You've been told to take all complaints to another thread. Stop your moaning. Control your anger. Save bandwidth. Don't display your wretched, empty life.

Stop wasting bandwidth. Your comment had nothing to do with the OP.

...^speaking of harassment...

There you go again! Waste of bandwidth that is.

Looks great value to me, and if the music was as good as described, would be a regular venue for me.

^ quality of food?

A potato, two eggs,, a cucumber, a measly scrap of farmed salmon and a cheap Thai steak that would have needed the masticating prowess of a pit bull terrier chewing though a double ended fun truncheon.
