I went very soon after it opened and it had a few teething problems. These would have been over-come I imagine fairly quickly - I think the main issue here is that it was quite gimicky. Meats sliced from swords at your table is sort of fun for a bit but after a while it becomes a bit annoying waiing for one of the waiters to come to your table with what you want. In my opionion its a place you go to once maybe twice a year - not a local that you visit a few times - and I think in the end that was its undoing. If it had been in a tourist area perhaps it would have done better with an endless number of "new" customers. As for being popular - I live very close and passed it most days and evenings and it was rarely full. Its a shame as no-one likes to see new ventures fail and this had not been open more that a few months after a long refurbishment. I wonder what it will be next? |
