The Bullfinch, Riverhead

Watch out: overpriced food about!!!

I went to this gastro-pub with an important Chinese academic (with my husband): this was midweek, about a year ago; and it was exceptional (food especially). We chose to take my distinguished American academic parents there last week and were stunned (after booking) at how slow and bad the service was. . . Had the food been as good as (for these prices) it should have been, I wouldn't have complained, but three of us had duck (all overcooked) and even those who had beef (apparently better) couldn't eat the vegatables, which were so dry that you could see the wrinkles. This place has a nice decor, but you're wasting your money if you're looking for anything food-wise--and the service is so slow even our waiter apologised.
