Dinner @ Sketch - the lecture room

Dear Fighter,

what can he say??? What a dissapointment. The party of 5 spent £1.000 on dinner with wine @ the lecture room.

Ambience:
nice, very nice actually, nothing for everyday, but the unique combiantion of art, antiques, sparkling stones and 2nd hand furniture is an experience. the antique silver cutlery is amazing. The china used is nice, a lot of Thomas by Rosenthal. However, nothing special.

Winelist:
Extensive, very good selection, expensive (as expected), generally it is what one may expect. However, the wine water made two (out of 5) bad choices, especially the amazing madeira did not fit the dessert.

Service:
Hostess: beautiful model, nice to look at, but useless as hostess
Aperitif in Bar: it took 20 minutes for 2 champagne, 1 cosmo and 2 mochitos
Maitre d': tour through he building, well mannered, very good
Service: not smooth enough, not secure enough
Sommelier: 2 bad choice out of 5 (not good)

Food:
overpowering flavours, too many ingredients stuffed into one dish, always a blend of strong flavours, no single flavour may be singled out. pigeon meat was very good, though.

All in all a big disappointment, does not deserve the star!

Keep Fightin'
