samstar999 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Has anyone eaten there? I live round the corner and often wonder about it - but it seems to be always empty. Has anyone got any views on it? (apart from voodoodanny who always plugs it! ) I fancy giving it a go but not sure ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexus_ Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Went last night - it was lovely. I had the (Traditional British ) Icelandic Cod and it was very nice. Girlfriend had Beef and she liked it. Nice friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Will have to go back soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaks Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 There was a Forum meet there fairly recently. It was petty good. Drink wasn't cheap but the food was more than acceptable (for a large group). Try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czechmate Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I think we (my wife and I) had a one off bad experience. I know a lot of people who have recommended Seasons to us so we decided to go but it wasn’t to our liking. I don’t know if it was just one of those times but the hype was not justified. In all honesty the food was good (but not fantastic) but the service, layout and lack of consideration by other diners let the experience down, not that Seasons can be accountable for other diners but the staff should be able to deal with situations better. I had the lamb main course (didn’t have my first choice) and it was nice but a little fatty and IMO small to medium portions (I’m not of a big build either). The dessert and the starter were equally tasty but not something you can’t experience at a number of restaurants in the neighbourhood. The wine and drinks were expensive. There is a seating area at the front of the restaurant. A group of diners (6-8 people) were meeting and one of the couples was late so instead of sitting at the table the waitress let them sit on the sofa. Not normally a problem except there wasn’t enough room for all the diners to sit and obviously to make things work financially the amount of tables in the restaurant meant it was a little cramped. So imagine as were eating the people on the sofa were less then a foot away from my face. The guys stood directly behind my chair kept knocking into me while trying to eat so in the end I put my knife & fork down and tried to get the waitress attention as I didn’t feel it was appropriate to speak to the diner directly. The waitress (eventually) did notice what was happening and asked if everything was o.k. just as I got a nice shove in the back again so I understandably said no and after a few more minuets the guests were seated. Generally the service was poor and that’s after we made allowances for them being busy. In summary it was as if we were not welcome and we came on time and were polite and open minded about what to expect so I don’t know why we got a less then average service, we assumed it was just one of those times. Unfortunately we won’t be going back as there were too many things we didn’t like to give Seasons another chance. I’m all for keeping the smaller restaurants in business, especially if its family owned but we just didn’t have a pleasant evening and I would rather spend my £85+ and have an enjoyable time. I did consider writing a letter to Seasons to outline our experience and take it on board or not but I’m afraid I didn’t do this soon enough (our visit was in February) and there seems to be many positive posts so I will post our experience. However all the rave reviews and recommendations must be justified and there’s only one way to find out what a place is like and that’s try it for your self.
