Seven of us got together to enjoy the bank holiday. Decided to visit The palm again. we will not be returning agin soon!
The food was as expected but th service was atrocious!
The table was booked for 7:45. Drinks orders were taken in teh foyer at 7:50. The men were served thier beers. We were then taken to our table and teh men fiinishe dtheir beers befor ethe ladies had had their firts drink. the table was laid fro 6 instead of seven and we had to ask severla time for an extra setting. We were given a plat.... after asking agin.... some citlery, the serviette never appeared.
The poppadums arrived at 8:15.
Some starters arrived at 8:50. Again some finished before others were served.
Starters included ... chicken lollipop, Goan seafood platter, peshwari naan.
WE aske dfor water which eventually came, but no glasses.
Main course arrived at 9:45!!!!
Mixed chicken tikka, no accompanying salad ( K), Karakai (E) Murgh jaipuri (A) Reshmi tikka (T), Butter chicken (C) Korma (Z) and John's tastebud were lost in the Dansak. he ordered this 2 chilli dish despite the information in teh menu saying that is was failry hot.
John commentated how small the toilets were compared to the size of the restaurant and Chrissie mentioned how slippery the toilet floors were. However there was plenty of time to visit them.
The evening was a pleasant evening due to the company but the overall experience was marred by the very poor service.... and no apology. well they didn't get a tip.
To top it all, there were only 6 After Eights.
