Check back
Priya was excellent when she was there, but she had eleven tables. Nobody checked back on the starters and the empty plates sat for eight minutes.
Manager presence
A manager was visible at the pass at 19:40 and again at 20:25 but did not come onto the floor either time.
Main course
Cooked well but arrived lukewarm; the plate had clearly waited at the pass. The brown butter had split by the time it reached us.
Greeting
Host stand empty. A runner clocked us after four minutes and went to find someone; the host arrived apologetic and warm.

In brief

A good kitchen let down by an unmanaged floor.

Fix first: a manager on the floor from 19:30 to 20:30. Every miss tonight was a floor miss.
