Plate At No. 6 - Windsor

This was my second visit to the restaurant. The first time was fantastic, but this time I was disappointed with the service. Although the waitress was lovely and extremely friendly, there seemed to be a significant issue with getting our food. It took nearly an hour for our meals to arrive, and two tables that came in after us were served first. The scallops were cold, and the truffle mash resembled thick soup rather than the expected texture. While the food was tasty, it didn't meet my expectations considering the price.

Everything we ordered was delicious. We had scallops, smoked bruschetta, black ink gnocchi, and bark tortellini, all of which were exquisite. The food was served at the perfect temperature, and the service was efficient. The restaurant had a beautiful ambiance. My only criticism is the front door; we were seated right next to it, and it was not properly weighted. This meant that several times during our meal, the door swung open and came dangerously close to my partner's seat. Thankfully, he was sitting still at the time; if he had moved, the door could have knocked him!

The dining experience was fantastic. The staff were wonderful. However, the prices are a bit too high for the portion sizes.

Excellent cooking from clearly passionate chefs. Highly recommend the scallops.

Tricky to review Plate no6 such were the extremes. Arrived for a 2:30 lunch only to be greeted with the news that some (it turned out MOST) of the dishes were off the menu. Did we want to stay? Mutterings of ‘bad management’ from the under pressure but willing staff. A scrap of paper listed the items not available, it ran to 2 pages. After a 4 hour car journey we weren’t in a position to be choosy. We shared the tiger prawns starter and had tortellini ragu for main. And a glass of Italian red each. So despite all the shortcomings, the food was magnificent. And the staff were humble, apologetic and respectful.
