La Fosse

Have eaten at La Fosse a few times over the years, sometimes before or after events at St Davids Hall - though increasingly they don't seem to welcome customers after events at the Hall. So, it is a good location and I am always surprised at how empty it is.

Maybe, I should not be surprised, as the standard of service and food is distinctly mediocre, and the setting depressing.

The salmon I had for my main course on this occasion did not taste fresh - however, what really disappointed was the fresh vegetable platter (Carrots, cauliflour, brocolli etc). These had absolutely no taste. When my companion and I mentioned this to our waiter he shrugged and said what could we expect as the way food is prepared at La Fosse means you cannot expect food to be fresh and tasty. I was amazed at this comment. We decided to go without a dessert! On our way out the waiter said to us 'Don't have the vegetables on your next visit'! There won't be another visit.

I don't know what happened between the last review and this one but the place i went to bore no resemblance to the previous review. Service was friendly but poor. We asked for one bottle of wine. The waitress misunderstood and ordered the next one in the list. What eventually arrived - already opened - was the next one again.

The food did not taste very fresh. The place was almost empty. The price was high: £63 without service for 2 starters, 2 main courses and 1 bottle.
