Review is for the restaurant only (didn't stay in the inn). Some dishes were very tasty, others fell flat - notably a rhubarb tart on the dessert menu that was more savory than sweet. What really left a bad taste though was the seeming bait and switch on our wine order. The menu listed options for either a 125cl glass or a bottle. My friend and I each ordered a glass of wine. After our orders were taken, while passing us to go to another table the server called out to us with a question about the wine: ".... ok for the wine?". Because it was noisy and he was walking past as he said it (didn't stop at our table) we thought he'd said "one twenty five" and nodded yes. After all, that's what was listed on the menu. When we got our bill we were surprised to see the cost of our glasses of wine was significantly more than what had been listed on the menu, and we questioned it. The server said that was the cost for 175cl glasses of wine. We pointed out that that option hadn't been listed on the menu! The server then said he'd asked us if we wanted "one seventy five". We pointed out how he hadn't actually stopped at our table to ask us, and given the noise in the place we hadn't been able to hear him clearly as he'd spoken while walking past. Furthermore, why would you serve something not listed on the menu? He then gave us some BS about their use of regulated, standard quantities for drinks. OK, we get that a pint has to be a full pint, but if you're going to serve people 175cl glasses of wine, they need to be listed as an option when ordering. Ultimately they did charge us the 125cl price, but only after we protested. We suspect they do this bait and switch as a way to make extra money off unsuspecting tourists who either don't pay attention to the bill, or don't want to make a fuss as we did. Needless to say we won't go back.
