Cafe des Amis - Canterbury (Revisited, again...)

Not a great visit this time, I do think they've let things slip a bit in here. The service was fine but we had a couple of complaints.

We ordered a frozen passionfruit margarita(sp?) each, large ones but they couldn't be described as large really... they cost £6 a glass which we thought was a rip off... they were nice though, and very strong.

For starter we had the Antojidos which I had previously in there, this time it wasn't as nice... the grilled vegetables tasted really vinegary and there just wasn't much between two of us.

For main I ordered the seafood tosdido which should have included prawns, king scallops, salmon and calamari... well everything but the scallops turned up which was a shame as I wanted those the most! I didn't find the dish very appetising... James had the steak which I really wanted to order but couldn't justify the cost, but half way through he really wanted my fish so we did a swap, so we were both happy in the end. The steak was lovely, and the parmesan mash too!

We both had strawberry sorbet for dessert which was really nice as usual... The bill came to £68 which included the two cocktails, a small glass of wine and a bottle of beer. I guess it's not too bad, but might go somewhere else in future.

That sounds expensive for what it was -especially if it was disappointing. £35 a head should deliver better quality than this , surely?
