"Once a year, we go out with two of our friends for a special meal to celebrate Christmas. This year, we picked The Cavendish, based on its reputation as a high-end restaurant, with fine dining, relaxed but top-notch service, elegant furnishings and a superb position. All of the things we expected were there in abundance: the service; the furnishings and the position (what a view! but the food! I cannot grumble about the food quality. Whilst not fine dining, it was good. The menu was varied and we had a choice of the normal menu and also the Christmas Fayre menu, or a combination of the two. Our starters ranged from scallops to crab, to chestnut soup. All were fine and the portions reasonable. However, when the mains arrived, the portion sizes were ludicrously small. My initial impression was that the waiter had brought us the chef's amuse-bouche at the wrong moment! I had ordered venison and, whilst I did not expect a whole stag on my plate, I expected more than a handful of postage stamp-sized miniatures! Other members of the party who had ordered beef or fish had similar experiences. I pointed out our disappointment to our embarassed-looking waiter. He apologised and offered to bring out some vegetables. Unfortunately, these never arrived but he did make a reduction on our bill. We all had desserts which, whilst not of Mr Creosote proportions, were of an acceptable size. We left The Cavendish with very mixed feelings. This is an expensive place which in many ways fully justifies what it charges. However, the portion size of its main courses is disgracefully small and therefore we will never go there again."
