    I ordered a steak with bone marrow only there was no bone marrow available. I asked for a discount but they just gave me an odd looking bone marrow based gravy instead. Not acceptable.

    Wonderful terrace and atmosphere but don't come when someone else has ordered the pig. No food service for over an hr and not so much as a sorry from the staff. Want to love this place but just can't!

    Poor service on three separate occasions. Bizarre rules about what can be ordered in the garden. I won't be back.
