lml, what the #### are you on about!!! i am in no pain, the restaurant DOES have the stars still because it is the standard of the chef and his cuisine not the restaurant. n e way guys, thank you for the warm welcome and hope you are all cool, i think that lml should see a phsycotherapist as he obviously has some inner problem. where did that 'rapist' thing come from? not meaning to bitch please dont get me wrong i just find it offensive to be told that what i have observed over the past two months working there is stated as utter twoddle by someone who has probably just read up a review of the situtation in context and decided to grab the proverbial cat by the proverbial tail and swing him round at great speed to ensure everyone can see or hear!!! if anybody want any other info about the restaurant (within reason of buisness integrity) i will be happy to give a helping hand :-), speak to you all soon, seb
