With the mezz level Shame about your main – I remember having a beef dish (could have been a steak, often do) and it was fab Good wine list as well with some great Clarets at reasonable prices. I remember having an '05 St Emilion - a serious claret and not having to ring the bank manager for permission in advance. Though the evening was almost ruined by the folk next to us haggling their bill (not just refusing to pay service - bad enough?). I mean - arguing that the started was only worth £6 not £8... the bottle of wine was too warm / cold so another £2 off etc etc in went on. They marked the bill up, called over the manager and told him what they were willing to pay. I mean, this was not some sort of Egyptian market - they were English, not Scots :), but it was like they could not "stomach" the damage. Shame really - but it certainly gave us something to laugh about in the amazing bar afterwards Hmmmm
