It's the orgy room. It's also available for hire.
Might go there for dinner again soon and ask them what's happening
'We've not been able to find the right Chef to support Michael in his absence.
As a result we've now had to reduce our opening times to ensure consistent quality at our busy times.
We are currently only opening Tuesday to Saturday from 5.30pm-10.30pm.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused and hope to see you soon for dinner.'
As shame as I think brunch is the only meal I can afford there but would love to try it.
They should update the website though. I stood looking blankly at the shutters in a hung-over daze muttering 'but the internet said so' for several minutes the past two weekends.
Sorry for the poor communicaton with reference to our opening times. As I expressed to JaneDoe in my e-mail we've made the decision to reduce our opening hours so we can focus on the consistency and continuous improvement of our dinner menu.
We really value all your feedback (particuarly the constructive) and look forward to seeing you all soon at Season. We've now amended the website to show the correct times of service.
The Pillocks of Season.
From Paris Spleen, 1869
(Haussman was actively redoing the now-famous Paris boulevards, which Baudelaire references below. Baudelaire popularized the image of the flaneur -- the casual, removed observer who sees and strolls to be seen in urban spaces.)
We had spent a long day together which to me had seemed short. We had duly promised each other that all our thoughts should be shared in common, and that our two souls henceforth be but one -- a dream which, after all, has nothing original about it except that, although dreamed by every man on earth, it has been realized by none.
That evening, a little tired, you wanted to sit down in front of a new cafe forming the corner of a new boulevard still littered with rubbish but that alreday displayed proudly its unfinished splendors. The cafe was dazzling. Even the gas burned with all the ardor of a debut, and lighted with all its might the blinding whiteness of the walls, the expanse of mirrors, the gold cornices and moldings, fat-cheeked pages dragged along by hounds on leash, laughing ladies with falcons on their writs, nymphs and goddesses bearing on their heads piles of fruits, pates and game, Hebes and Ganymedes holding out little amphoras of syrups or parti-colored ices; all history and all mythology pandering to gluttony.
On the street directly in front of us, a worthy man of about forty, with tired face and greying beard, was standing holding a small boy by the hand and carrying on his arm another little thing, still too weak to walk. He was playing nurse-maid, taking the children for an evening stroll. They were in rags. The three faces were extraordinarily serious, and those six eyes stared fixedly at the new cafe with admiration, equal in degree but differing in kind according to their ages.
The eyes of the fater said: "How beautiful it is! How beautiful it is! All the gold of the poor world must have found its way onto those walls." The eyes of the little boy: "How beautiful it is! How beautiful it is! But it is a house where only people who are not like us can go." As for the baby, he was much too fascinated to express anything but joy -- utterly stupid and profound.
Song writers say that pleasure ennobles the soul and softens the heart. The song was right that evening as far as I was concerned. Not only was I touched by this family of eyes but I was even a little ashamed of our glasses and decanters, too big for our thirst. I turned my eyes to look into yours, dear love, to read my thoughts in them; and as I plunged my eyes into your eyes, so beautiful and curiously soft, into those green eyes, home of Caprice and goverened by the Moon, you said: "Those people are insufferable with their great saucer eyes. Can't you tell the proprietor to send them away?"
So you see how difficult it is to understand one another, my dear angel, how incommunicable thought is, even between two people in love.
My problem: service was awful, the manager barely cracked a smile all evening.. In comparison to Petek and Pappagones where you feel like a long lost friend every time you go in I was a bit disappointed!
I'm glad to have a restaurant of your quality on our doorstep.
PS - I like your comeback comment to ADGS..."The Pillocks of Season". Touché!
