This was our first visit to Sole Restaurant, a present from our son and daughter in law. There was no problem using Open Table for our reservation and we were impressed by the timely notifications received confirming and updating us on our reservation. The restaurant was buzzing with Christmas spirit and we were particularly impressed with the number of staff and the attentive and timely ordering of aperitif and dining choice from an mouth watering seafood menu. Our waitress was fun and informative, and wow the food was superb !! we could not fault anything !! What a meal!! We were seated at the bar and found this most entertaining as we watched the bar staff prepare cocktails. We would have no difficulty in recommending Sole!!

The Festive Lunch Menu at e55 was well thought & varied. Our party of 4 enjoyed the lunch very much. We had 2 bottles of wine. At our spend level I was disappointed when we were put on notice to vacate our table & presented with our bill. Our sitting was at 1pm & at 3.15pm when I was still drinking my coffee we vacated our table as requested. We were asked if we would like a table downstairs in the bar to complete our outing but the moment had passed and we said our goodbyes. It is a very large restaurant & I did not see a line of guests waiting to take our table.
