Skew Restaurant Champagne & Oyster Bar

Not a great start... We booked a table for bank holiday Monday after specifically asking the receptionist if their weekday menu was available. She assured us that it was... The table next to us... An extended family of at least 8 had also been told this. In stead, we were brought the regular a la carte menu. When we asked for the promised menu, we were told that the receptionist had made a mistake and wasn't available... No apologies, no obvious regrets. Eventually the owner offered a 10% discount on the food. My partner was set on eating there... I would have walked out. The family stayed too. The food was superb, we shared a hot meze, then tempura prawns. I followed with succulent octopus, my partner's lamb chops weren't available so she had chicken shish. Every item was utterly perfect. We were seated in the conservatory,overlooking the water. But it was like being in a noisy greenhouse, though the plants were plastic. There were no soft furnishings or real plants and I was constantly distracted by the conversation of a woman whose voice seemed to bounce off the walls and windows. We couldn't manage pudding, but had fabulous cocktails in stead. This place has huge potential, but the attitude of the owner and the poor acoustics need work

The reason for the 2 star food is not because of the quality, the quality of the food is good, it is because of the value. Three Tempura prawns & a small bowl of sauce as a starter for 12 is not good value. Dover sole for 44 again is not the good value. Overall quite an expensive place to eat for what you get. Good service and nice ambience.
