Pavarotti's

Just ate at Pavarotti's this evening with a group of friends, and we will definitely not be going back there, nor would we recommend this restaurant to anyone. The quality & taste of the dishes were fair at best, and the presentation poor. Five of us ordered the ciabatta with truffle pate for appetisers, and the smell was rancid! None of us managed to eat any of it, and the waiters simply removed the full plates without any further comment (we were charged for all of them on the bill). We ordered some bread, and I had to ask 3 times before I got some at the table; I discovered when the bill came that we were charged for 5 (at £6.50 each!) even though we only ordered 4. The main courses were passable, but nothing great. The presentation of the dishes was very basic; the risotto looked very unappetising (more like pile of porridge on a plate). The ultimate insult came at dessert - my wife ordered the fruit plate, which only came after everyone else had finished their dessert & coffee and their plates had been removed from the table, so she sent it back. The head server (possibly owner?) then brought it right back, begging that she please take it since the chef had put such an effort into preparing it (what a great example of not thinking of your customers first!) - of course we were charged for it on the bill even though none of it was eaten. All in all a very disappointing experience!
