I agree entirely with Dec 19th review. The front of house staff did try hard but they can't deliver what they don't have coming from the kitchen! A real shame as I had high hopes for a special evening, and I would like to see their venture succeed. Their buffet bar did look very appetising and I'm disappointed that when pre-visiting, planning, and phone-ordering 4 days ahead of time, that I was led to believe that the buffet would be ending at 6pm with only the set menu available thereafter. As it was the buffet WAS available and I'm sorry that we weren't directed to this as an alternative once it became clear that things in the kitchen were going pear-shaped. We would have been happy to have selected from there and to have been in control of the number of 'variations on a nut' theme we ate. I'd give them the benefit of doubt and try it again if passing, but as already suggested, I too think that Vantra would do better to stick to the buffet style for now. Also the restaurant did feel a bit chilly. We moved away from the door, and needed several cups of hot water while waiting for our food. The atmosphere on the night, due no doubt to all the above factors, also seemed rather cold and certainly not what I had hoped for for a special meal out. Turn up the temperature, speed up the service and fill us up from the buffet!! Best of luck for success of your venture in the future. And of course thanks for a providing another vegan outlet!
