As we arrived we were told that there were no tables for us in the quartyard. We wandered in to have a look for ourselves as we could see a free bar table, only to find that there was a 4 seater lounge area available. I then ordered a Rose wine, which was possibly the worst glass of wine i have ever tasted. When we ordered our food the waiter was unable to answer a question we had about how the sweetpotato side was cooked and served. I then ordered the tuna salad (Nicoise Salad) which is said to have Tuna, Asparagus, boiled egg, Potato, green bean, mayo. What I received was some lettuce with two dollops of tuna mayo on top some chopped up beans and asparagus, one halved boiled egg and 4 tiny 1cm by 1cm pieces of potato. I picked them out and put the 4 measly pieces of potato on a side plate. I asked the waiter to call the manager, 10 minutes later I got up to go and call him myself, When i got to him he was on the phone and totally unapproachable and tried to pass me off to the waiter again. I then asked him to please come to my table after his phone call. When he came and heard my experience with the salad, he offered to bring me a potato on the side of my salad. I asked him to please bring me a different salad which was obliged.
