Had a wonderful meal including the Fish Tower which was super fresh! All five of our main courses were superb and Leonardo our waiter was very attentive. Great Christmas ambience but equally excellent customer service on a very busy evening.

The Festive Lunch Menu at e55 was well thought & varied. Our party of 4 enjoyed the lunch very much. We had 2 bottles of wine. At our spend level I was disappointed when we were put on notice to vacate our table & presented with our bill. Our sitting was at 1pm & at 3.15pm when I was still drinking my coffee we vacated our table as requested. We were asked if we would like a table downstairs in the bar to complete our outing but the moment had passed and we said our goodbyes. It is a very large restaurant & I did not see a line of guests waiting to take our table.
