🤢 2/5 - Husband booked the wrong restaurant and was disappointed with the food

I'd been wanting to go to Ottolenghis for years (was 50 in 2020 when Covid hit so dipped out) and didnt know my husband had booked as a surprise this month to go. I didnt know the Soho restaurant was the more upmarket sister of the other restaurants and we didnt check before hand in all honesty, so this was out fault. The restaurant is nice, smallish inside, the ladies toilets are a little garish with weird mirrors on both the outside and inside of the doors (no-one wants to see themselves sat on the loo!) . The menu is a little odd... only 3 mains listed (1 being veggie - which I am) and the rest is sides or 'Veg'. I didnt fancy the veggie main (Aubergine with polenta) so opted for the Valdeon Cheesecake (in the Veg section) and was going to have a side of new potatoes with tarragon. The rest of my family chose fish as a main and 2 other meat choices from the main options plus some extra 'Veg' choice options. The fish and 4 of the 'Veg' choice options arrived (1 being my main) which was just a small terracotta side dish of melted cheese - not sure why it's called a cheesecake when it's just melted cheese, this was £17's worth of cheese apparently! as my potatoes hadnt arrived i tried a bit of the green bean side (£13 for a few cut up green beans with salsa on top) and some very dry and uninspiring aubergine circles with pomegranate on top (£13). My sister in law ate her fish and a bit of the very small portions of sides, my husband and brother in law had some of the veg to tied them over and then we all sat there with nothing. My husband and brother in law waited 20 mins for their meat mains to arrive along with my potatoes. I wasnt going to eat the potatoes after i'd finished (i was annoyed at this stage) and my sister in law had also finished. We did question the delay on the 2 meat mains and were told 'they just come when ready' - i'm afraid this is not my sort of eating style, it was so awkward to eat when others werent and also sit with an empty plate when others eating. I appreciate perhaps the more upmarket restaurants are about small and dainty tastes of dishes but i was starving when I left and we'd paid £150 per couple. We were not told of this eating style when we arrived and that the dishes come out when ready when we ordered them, we assumed all the mains and sides would come out within minutes of each other (we didnt order starters or desserts). We were not told that what we had ordered would not be enough for 4 people to share. Mostly i'm disappointed with the taste of the food, the aubergine starter was very dry and crispy round the edges. The cheesecake was nice but not worth £17 especially when the waitress told me it had Philadelphia cheese in it! Gutted was so disappointed when my husband paid so much for it but wanted it to be a suprise for me. We should have gone to the Chelsea or Islington ones instead.
