My wife and I had dinner at this hotel’s restaurant and overall, it was a bit of a mixed experience - great food, but the service didn’t quite live up to the setting. The restaurant itself is really lovely. It’s cozy, beautifully decorated, and there’s a cool feature where you can see the wine cellar downstairs through the floor. Definitely a nice touch. We went for the 7-course tasting menu. As you’d expect in a fine dining place, the portions were small, but by the end we were full and satisfied. Some dishes stood out more than others, but overall everything tasted really good and was well thought out. No complaints on the food side. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite match the quality of the food. There were only two waitresses managing about 6 or 7 tables, and it was clear they were overwhelmed. They were constantly rushing between the kitchen and the tables, apologizing for delays. It took 45 minutes from the time we sat down until we were able to place our order. We had asked for a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but they were out of it. Instead of bringing the wine list back so we could pick something else ourselves, one of the waitresses just brought over a Sancerre and suggested we go with that. Not a big deal, but felt a bit off. Also, they kept the bottle of wine away from our table and served it for us, which sounds nice in theory, but in reality just meant we had to wait and ask when we wanted more. Would’ve much preferred to just have it on the table and pour at our own pace. The two waitresses were kind and tried their best, especially one of them who was particularly friendly, but it felt like they were set up to fail a bit - understaffed and scrambling all night. To top it off, when we were getting our jackets after paying, we overheard one waitress asking the other if she had remembered to charge us for the wine - with a tone that almost sounded like she thought we might’ve skipped out on paying. It might’ve been a harmless question, but saying that right in front of paying customers isn’t exactly the most professional or thoughtful way to end the evening.
