"We booked a table here for a Friday night. When we arrived, there were already 4 tables occupied, and the waitress simply said 'sit where you want '. The lighting was quite bright, and highlighted the tired decor. It was cold outside, and sleeting, so we were looking forward to a warm restaurant, but it was apparent after removing our coats, that it was almost as cold inside as out!. There were a couple of fan heaters on the floor that didn 't seem to make any difference, and no background music to soften the atmosphere. The waitress took our order, but couldn 't guarantee any of the wines on their list (which was difficult to read as something had previously been spilled on the laminated menu, blurring the text). Needless to say the bottle we ordered was not available. As we waited for our starters, the place began to fill and the tension inside began to rise, as there was only one waitress. Although she handled the situation as best as she could, with a smile on her face, it became increasingly uncomfortable, as it was evident that she was unable to manage a full restaurant on her own. Our starter arrived, and was surprisingly good. However, the main course took another good half hour to arrive and came minus the rice. Which took another ten minutes. We both had the same main course (Thai Red chicken curry) and were both equally disappointed. It lacked heat, and flavor, and was more soup than curry. By this point we decided to cut our losses and make a swift exit, as had a couple of others already realizing that they were in for a long night. The bill was £50, which is a lot of money for a particularly unpleasant experience. This place needs, more staff, some ambient lighting, some heating in the winter, some music to lighten the canteen effect, and some care and attention."
