I ate a few things during my meal, so I'd like to give each item my review:
Complimentary bread and butter - a cold roll that was had very little going for it. It wasn't light and fluffy with a crisp outside, nor dense and flavorful. It just existed. Cold, dense, and oddly moist, which gave it a poor texture. 1/5
Grilled Octopus - The actual Octopus was grilled quite nicely. It appeared to be cooked just right, it wasn't overly chewy. Howevr there was a glaze that was aweful tasting over everything. 2/5 for the fine cooking but horrible taste.
Because of the grilled octopus getting left uneaten, they where kind ebough to offer me anything I wanted from the cold buffet.
Salami from buffet - tasted old and dry... 1 bite and I was done. 1/5
Corn and Tuna Pasta Salad from buffet - tasted sweet and fishy at the same time. I had a few bites, but left it on my plate. 1/5
Salmon - A little overdone, the ouside was a little too crunchy for me, especially when I got to the corners. The asparagas on top was edible, but not enjoyable. The bed of spinach was acceptable, but didnt tast like it had any salt or spice of any kind. Then sauce had an overwhelmingly bad smell, which caused the whole dish to stink. In fact, I can still smell it on my hands and breath even now while writing this review. 2/5 for effort.
Overall, 1/5 because i tried so many things hoping that they could get 1 of them right. 36 GBP later, and i want to walk accross the street to Pret A Manger because I would have been much better off! I felt it was overpriced even with my company paying for it all. Utter Failure... read more
