Compliment BushGirl (11-02-2008) 3

Oh god, what a misadventure this was. We had booked tickets to see Juno at the Vue and wanted to get some dinner beforehand and I had been wanting to try this restaurant due to it’s consistently good response on this here website.

However, it was Saturday night, we arrived around 8pm with only an hour to spare. This restaurant is not large and is certainly not overstaffed.

We were stuffed into a corner and forgotten about for 15 minutes at which point we were handed menus.

About 30 minutes later our food arrived and thus ensued a somewhat hilarious exchange where the waitress thrust a dish into my face and stated ‘halibut’, I responded saying ‘haddock?’

‘Halibut’

‘I ordered haddock’

‘Halibut!’

‘No, Haddock.’

‘Halibut!’

‘I didn’t order halibut’

‘Halibut!’

I accepted the halibut, as we didn’t have time to change it. We ate our food in about 6 minutes, paid and literally ran to the cinema, nearly greeting our dinner so soon after ingesting it.

The food was very nice, I think (it was so quickly done with that I had no time to savour, just shovel). It was averagely priced, mains £8-£16 ish. I am willing to give it a second chance in the future, but definitely not when in a rush.

This sounds like the beginning of a surreal comedy sketch. But you'd need a different punchline...
