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.

We went as a group of 9 about 2 weeks before Christmas. Everyone was warm and friendly, the food was gorgeous (as always) and it was so reasonable. We also didn't feel like we were being ushered in and out which can happen with groups around Christmas, which was really a really nice touch that didn't go unnoticed
