The last three times we've been (without booking), the first thing we are told is there will be a 45 minute wait for food.This despite the fact there are quite a few empty tables.(We've walked away twice). We're asked if we've booked, no is the reply. "We have no tables left" Err..yes you have, we're sitting at one.I fail to understand how a much lauded chef who managed to run a much busier restaurant previously (with a larger menu) can't cope with 20 odd covers. Or do we always get the stand in chef? I wish they could sort this out as we love the atmosphere in here and the food is great.
