Beatrice and Woodsley

On my second visit back to Beatrice and Woodsley, I left disappointed with the food and the interesting service.  Despite the unique interior decoration with floor to ceiling trees, the bathroom was way too confusing and exposed (you'll understand if you go) and the yellow window tint by the front door made the cold and gloomy day look like a spring sunny day.

The food was nothing spectacular as I was confused with the range of temperatures on both the dishes
First up was the "Ninny Nanny"
A fried pasta dough shell (warm) stuffed with lemon zested goat and ricotta cheese (cool), with a buttery wild mushroom sauce (warm), spinach (warm) and sauteed grape tomatoes (hot).  Our waiter tried to make something up after I asked what temperature the dish was supposed to be.  Honestly it's ok to just say i don't know.  

The ninny nanny and the endive salad were followed by the braised oxtail main course.

Fried blue cheese gnocchi and kale (hot), braised oxtail (warm with hot spots) and fried soft boiled egg (cool).  The gnocchi were way to soft and each component did very little to complement each other.

Plate Score: 6.5
