    When we arrived, the meet-and-greet was great and everyone was friendly throughout the evening. Unfortunately, there seemed to be confusion around the seafood tower we had preordered. The lady serving us wasn't initially aware of the preorder, although this was eventually sorted. She explained that if the tower included lobster it could be served hot or cold, but if it was the standard tower it would only be served cold. I actually had to check my confirmation email to confirm what we had ordered. We were then told we could have part of the seafood served hot with sauce and fries, and the rest cold, which sounded like a fair compromise. However, everything arrived cold in the end. There were several small issues throughout the meal that became frustrating: • We had to ask for teaspoons for the sauces. • The seafood sauce wasn't replenished. • The lemons still had pips in them, which is always annoying with seafood. A hot sauce then arrived separately, but no fries. We were told we didn't receive fries because we had bread instead. Thankfully, the manager overheard this and arranged fries immediately. I ended up sending the sauce back as hot sauce on cold seafood just didn't work for me, yet we were still charged for it. To be fair, the seafood itself was very fresh and the service was attentive. We finished with affogato and grappa, although when we asked what year the grappa was, the waitress didn't seem to know what grappa actually was. We ordered anyway. Overall, while everyone was pleasant, the hot/cold seafood tower concept and what was actually included was not explained clearly at all.

    Great food & service. Main gripe was the bar stools are high and without a footrest so my wife’s legs were uncomfortable - just dangling!
