Very slow service 1 hour wait for first course and at least 30 mins before main. Lack of choice no Guinea Fowl venison sole available.. chateaubriand was tasteless. I suspect cooked from frozen.Staff pleasant but a very disappointing experience. Not inclined to return. Sorry
Le VacherinResponded today
Dear Sir, for each item not available anymore, we have done more than 60 covers on the day. You and your guests were given more than valid substitutes. You have waited 35 minutes for your starters as per our till record, but the fact that you imply that our Chateaubriand is frozen is simply preposterous. Maybe your palate is not used to 25-day-old meat. We are very sorry you didn't lt voice any other above on the day, it could have given the restaurant a chance to rectify any shortcomings.

Pretty disappointing experience. Very average aperitifs. For a “french” restaurant the bread served on the table was very poor. Would have been unacceptable in France. It was also dumped on the table and the waiter said over his shoulder as he rushed off “that’s anchovy butter yeah”. Food was pretty underwhelming. Very bland velouté. Took 45 minutes to arrive. Over cooked monkfish.
Le VacherinResponded today
Dear Sir, thank you for your feedback , it is really appreciated. You have ordered a Negroni and a Grey goose Martini and it is not hard to make them right, I don't understand if you refer to the choice or the execution . No complaints were made on the day. We have picked up a problem with the bread on the night, therefore I apologize deeply, again no mention was made in regards to it. Even the waiter has admitted to poorly presenting the basket of bread and he is very sorry for that, the fact that he was rushed back to the kitchen is not an excuse. No comments were made on the food and everything was paid including the service charge, I just wish you could have mentioned the above on the night giving us a chance to rectify any of the shortcomings highlighted above.

The Vacherin simply gets better and better. Latest menu really interesting. So many appealing dishes decisions were hard!! Staff excellent as ever - perfect blend of professionalism humour and warmth. Super wine list at excellent prices. Le Vacherin is an absolute gem - and all this for less than the cost of a ‘so so’ ‘gastropub’ meal

We opted for a 5-course menu, all of which was superb aside from an underseasoned velouté as the amuse bouche. The mains (ox cheek and a sea bass) were really great cookery. Standout was the warm, attentive, efficient service by a great front of house team.
