If you like small portions of rather
bland fish in top class surroundings, and the setting takes precedence
over the meal itself, then choose fish! at the Mailbox. My Swordfish,
grilled, with salsa could have been tofu; my girflriend's 'organic'
salmon was about half of one salmon steak and as for the king prawns
(£15.50), well, they were fine but there were only six of
them. So it's thumbs down for fish!'s food (and as ever, overpriced
table wine) but a big thumbs up for the setting. |

Egon Ronay might very well have recommended,
but he obviously had neither the meal nor the (lack of) service that
we enjoyed. There is hovering, and there is rudeness. There is efficiency
and there is abruptness. And there is food which is spicy and there
is food which is bland. King prawns in satay sauce ought to have
some flavour about them .. .but no. Maybe I just caught them on a
bad day, but I will not be returning here in a hurry. |
