Avista

Very disappointed with the food. The starters were OK, but the mains were definitely not as we expected. I had the duck which was very bland, and not served with anything at all, not even a sauce, which meant that a salad had to be ordered at extra cost, my husband had the sea bass which was very small, he needed to order potatoes, again an extra charge. The cheese board was impressive, however my plum tart was not at all!! All in all a not very satisfying experience.

Went for dinner at Avista with a travelzoo deal. started off very well with a mixeed starter that we shared, vennison carpaccio, endive salad and salmon. very lovely and fresh. unfortunately it went downhill from there - the veal main was bland, the fish whilst perfectly cooked did lack something. for dessert i had berries which were hard and unripe with a tasteless yogurt mousse. Boyfriend had quite a nice tiramisu. The decor is lovely and the service fantastic but i wont go back
