Taste

Post by tricky »

We went to this restaurant last week. Sorry but we won't go again. Awful service, problems with food being frozen amongst other calamities, shame as the owner was very nice and I think he deserves to succeed but not for us I'm afraid

Thay is the first I have heard of this restaurant as we have been many times and had a wonderful experience on each visit, what a shame.

We also went to this restaurant at the end of June and would not return.
The service was awful, they did keep apologising for the delay in between courses but by the time we got our main course we were past being hungry. I asked for my steak to be medium to well done it was rare, they had got mine mixed up with another order. They did offer to cook me another one but as we had been in there 2 hours I ate what I could and we left.

The service on pour visists has always been slow but the food was OK.

We did not like the " old " taste as this certainly gave the inpression that much of the food had been prepared long before service and had seen the insides of a freezer.

Lsts hope that the currnet Taste is not going down the same path.

We go to this restaurant a lot and while I agree that service isn't exactly the best, the food has always been fabulous :D

It could have been an 'off night' for the chef, however I would suggest that if you go, ask for a table upstairs, we were sat downstairs and were overlooked by staff constantly as they didn't seem to come down very often. (don't sit on the table next to the entrance unless you like Ants!)

We use this restaurant in the low season, and cant fault it.
It looks as if they may try to scale up for the summer level of business without increasing on staffing.
Shame.

this is sad to hear, on our last two visits this has become our favorite restaurant.
We do go at Easter and in the Autumn though so not high season.

We will risk it again next week and see how we fair.

We have been 6 times on different days of the week over the past 6 weeks and could not fault the service or the food. For me still as good as ever.

Glad you had a good time js. The revue I wrote was actually quite conservative of the night we spent at taste, it was very faulty towers and we did have to laugh about it. Judging by the great revues it gets, I think it was definitely a one- off and will give it another try soon!

Excellent malapropism Tricky.

I think you originally wrote a review, but perhaps reading your latest post, revue may be more appropriate? :D
