I saw my burger turn up on the pass, sit there for a minute or so, when it was then probed by a chef for temperature.<br />It then disappeared.<br />On arrival at the table it was dry and overcooked, just like yours.<br /><br />I'm sorry GG - should've warned you.<br /><br />David<br /><br />As a postscript, I've eaten at Jamies three times. First time, soon after opening - a 6/10, bought in desserts being disappointing. Second time better 7/10. Last time was when I had the burger and the whole meal was a let down. No return.<br />I'm wondering if it's raised it's game or getting a wahaca-ing from Wahaca.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-70795632420167779482014-03-21T08:36:54.855+00:002014-03-21T08:36:54.855+00:00Thanks for warning me Ed!

The mains, spaghetti bolognese (the description sounded good) had been left on the pass too long so was dry with the pasta sticking together and the saltimboca was off! This was all bad enough but the semi-darkness we sat in only inches from the neighbouring table, to the accompaniment of pumping dance music topped it off. <br /><br />You may think I've been waiting a while to vent my spleen, and you'd be right as their website did not allow for any comments or complaints!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-12252195966388222622014-03-16T21:09:57.830+00:002014-03-16T21:09:57.830+00:00Think I won't bother as you guys are not the f...Think I won't bother as you guys are not the first to slate Jamies...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-12531743489197790052014-03-16T08:21:16.563+00:002014-03-16T08:21:16.563+00:00Yup.

It might have been a risotto. <br /><br />A plate of tasteless black slop is all I can remember. <br /><br />It was an experience bad enough for me to never want to go back.<br /><br />wunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-90364969520617668382014-03-15T14:42:41.636+00:002014-03-15T14:42:41.636+00:00@Tzevai - Yes!

While the food I had was good (not great) it cost me £25 for two courses and a beer and I was nowhere near satisfied. I'd much rather stick to the smaller chains and independents.Tzevaihttp://digitalshade.co.uk/light/noreply@blogger.com
