Finally the weekend

The work week ended with our staff Christmas lunch at the Chiswell Street Dining Rooms. With a short visit from C who brought baby Marnie. She is such a well-behaved and adorable baby and was patiently enduring being passed around. It was so cute just how much J was in love with the baby; a slightly weird moment, when he was sniffing her head...

salmon & prawn roulade, duck and chestnut and sickly sweet treacle tart

Service was a bit disappointing though. Wine was served before the aperitifs were served, which didn't come out until most people had already finished their starters. They also brought the wrong wine, which wasn't noticed until the bill arrived... Personally, I wouldn't have paid the higher price for something we didn't order, especially, as we so obviously didn't taste the wine as we clearly relied on them bringing what we had ordered. But I guess some battles aren't worth fighting. Food was just ok but also not overwhelmingly great. Quite a pity, as I had passed by the restaurant a number of times, and had been meaning to try it for a while.
