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.
