Don't know Wendy. Perhaps I'm too fussy, but it was poor. However, forgotten about it already and yes, just one of those things and could have been a bad night or chef not there but very few people actually think about how we are so different in taste, what works for some doesn't for others. Hence sometimes making recs doesn't mean its the best for us all.
