The Table!!!!Went from terrible, we won't be coming here again, to enjoable, but should never have even been terrible at the standard of restaurant.We visited Leeds Six by Nico as we were bought as a Christmas gift voucher. Booked the Alice in Wonderland experience as we are massive fans. Arrived on time for our table booking at 7pm, but our table was not ready. 20min later than booking our table was ready. Shown to our TABLE!! Introduced to said TABLE as "cosy"!!What can we say this TABLE was not cosy it was awful, a table that should not be where it is!!. The emergency TABLE.Have you ever felt like the restaurant over booked and forgot your booking?! Well this table made you feel like that.Or maybe we smelt or were not dressed well enough to sit in the restaurant with other customers, so put them there out the way. We actually felt so uncomfortable, not cosy at all. The so called "COSY TABLE" on its own, is just to the left of the stairs into the restaurant, staring at everyone else, sat on the right in the main restaurant area to the other side of the walk way, before a door the staff went in and out off. Yes we were sat in the corridor, the forgotten table! The headteacher table watching all the others in the atmosphere of the dining hall. Yeah you got the picture now, not cosy.Made our feelings aware to the Maitre D. Who did apologise and said we are fully booked, which we could tell, hence felt like the emergency cosy table had been slid out to cater with over bookings. My poor husband was like we can do this once the wine flows it will be fine, trying to make the crap table positioning feel less awful. But we can tell you staff rushing past blowing a gale each time they past and other customers standing right next to you putting coats over their arms to manage the stairs etc. Was very uncomfortable and not a cosy positioning. Then we had course one and waited over 20min for course two. Luckily we had the wine experience as well as taster experience. So had our first glass of wine delivered in the big gap and chatted trying to get over the uncomfortable positioning of said TABLE. At course four the Maitre D came to say she had a table in the main restaurant we could move to. We asked if we could look as did not want to move from "cosy table" to worse, when half way through eating. Especially as my husband had seen two more tables in the corridor when he went to use the toilets. They were together not as solitary as our so called cosy table, but he come back saying they have other over flow tables, you really wouldn't want on route to the bathroom. The new table was much better, in zone two and had atmosphere and you could see the chefs busy away making the artistic food. We got talking to the couple next to us and actually felt like we were out in a restaurant, not sat on our own on the outside looking in. So grateful that the Maitre D listened to our upset when first sat down. We made sure we thanked her as we left. The food, the wine and the staff luckily made up for the said TABLE experience. The waitressing staff were fantastic at their jobs and very friendly. The amount of information they have to remember regarding each course and wine is amazing! The food was very well presented and although very small portions it is packed with flavour and delicious, although if you watch advertising video or look at photos, your portions you actually get are not to the standard of advertising! If only we could have had seconds of the mushroom broth from course one. It was delicious which was how we had got chatting to the table next to us once moved. Was a shame our waiter at "cosy table!" did not do what the waiter in zone 2 did re course 3. We watched him actually using the sauce to paint the goats cheese rose red!! As well as let the customer paint their rose. Would have been a much better experience. It was such a good job the menu was edible! As we still needed more food after six courses to soak up all the wine before fresh air, this was a fun twist. We most definitely went to a Mad hatter's tea party.
