Booked this restaurant before we left home as the reviews relating to the culinary skills of he chef sounded exciting. The Tasting Menu did not disappoint as each dish left you feeling the Chef had a skill set above the norm. The dishes flowed from start to finish and were executed extremely well. It wasn't just about presentation as the depth of flavour was something else. The overall rating has nothing to do with the above so what lets it own? Service and atmosphere I am afraid. We had a 7.30pm booking and arrived at 7.10 to have a drink first. There seemed to be an urgent need to show us to our table despite there being no one else in the restaurant and it was this sense of urgency that continued throughout the evening and frankly impacted upon the above rating. There were 2 members of waiting staff and in my opinion one knew exactly how to manage themselves and did a wonderful job throughout and the other needs to calm down and be less pushy with their service. A Tasting Menu is not a five minute experience and can take a few hours to truly appreciate each served dish. Being observant and anticipating diners needs is one thing but quite different when they are made to feel rushed so staff can complete their shift and go home. I would mention there were 3 tables dining throughout the evening making a total of 6 diners so hardly a busy night. This point links into my second area of disappointment which was the atmosphere or the total lack of it. We went for a similar dining experience previously in the week at another restaurant and it was full so there are people out there wanting this style of dining. I am not sure if this is a regular Thursday night for Aizle but if this restaurant relies entirely on full sittings on Friday and Saturday evenings only it is unlikely to stand the test of time. In my opinion that would be a great shame as the food is delicious so it may help those in charge to go through this review to see how they can address the points I have made. It is an expensive evening and diners have an expectation that all areas of service should be on point and good food alone will not guarantee longevity.
