Suka

Truly memorable as the most disappointing dining experience for a long while. My biggest criticism is that it is greatly overpriced and lacks the all round sophistication you expect at the 'top end'. Dishes were brought together (went cold) despite our express wishes. Had to ask to change plates from fish to meat courses. No skill in the presentation of dishes. Giant prawns not de-veined and not thoroughly cooked. Wine list does not offer same wine by the glass as the bar (why not?) and if you do have a drink at the bar first, you have to pay separately (why?). And in line with other reviews I have read (I should have listened!) they do encourage you to order more than you need. A 15% 'discretionary' service charge is automatically added to the bill AND the waiter asks for a tip on top! The place became lively as we were leaving around 10.30pm. Certainly not a choice for experienced or discerning diners, in my opinion.
