Orrery review by Nick W

What has happened to the Orrery??

It used to be consistently very good. I don't know what came first, the loss of the michelin star or the loss of the good service staff. I was very surprised when I heard they had lost the star but not so now.

Food was of an inferior quality to previous experiences here. The menu is old fashioned and calorific. Most of the dishes were too heavy for a meal mid Spring.

But the service has really deteriorated. The Sommelier was rude to our table on two occasions. The second time, with desserts we ordered 3 glasses of Eiswein, and my girlfriend asked the waiter to ask the Sommelier to match a dessert wine with her dessert. 4 glasses of Eiswein turned up. She asked if this was her matched wine. The sommelier didn't know what she was talking about but said, "If you don't drink this I will".

At £520 for 4, the price was way over the top. Never again!
