Balfour At Bow Wine Vaults

We enjoyed a meal at what used to be Bow Wine Vaults yesterday evening. My colleague's calves liver and bacon looked excellent and my £19 chicken schnitzel was very good. The £25 house white cotes de Gascogne was pleasant enough. Service was very attentive but without being overbearing which we appreciated. I mentioned to staff that we didn't want to order food straight away and they were happy to let us move along at our own pace which seems rare these days. There's nothing worse than feeling like you're being ushered off your table or being sped up for the next booking. The only negative was the pudding I ordered; chocolate brownie sundae. For £9 this was an absolute disgrace and I'm surprised any chef would be happy sending it out. A few tiny cubes of Sainsbury's tasteless chocolate brownie on top of 2 scoops of aldi ice cream was as embarrassing for the waitress to serve as it was for me to eat. It had no place on the menu and for the price was laughable. The mains are good, so I'm not sure what they were thinking.
