So, about a week ago Rache and I came to Volt because we wanted to be able to gloat to Rita about the fantastic chocolate dessert. We gloated, she saw my photos and she insisted we had to come to Volt again! We were all pretty famished engaging our brains for the last hour or so at the Hayward Gallery so we were looking forward to a lovely meal. We were on exactly the same offer as last time and we nearly ate exactly the same thing – the chef’s selection was identical except that aubergine dish (which was Rache and my favourite last time) had been replaced with a Carpaccio of beef topped with parmesan cheese and rocket. Not bad but not exactly a fair replacement!

So, we continued on with our dinner and I opted for a Veal Milanese this time rather than the steak. It was pretty good – a decent size portion and generously covered in cherry tomatoes, parmesan cheese and rocket salad. Halfway through our mains the manager of the restaurant came over to ask us if we were happy with our meal, if there was anything he could do for us etc. He was quite flirtatious in a fun way and Rache and I were certain he had a particular thing for Rita. Taking advantage of his good humour Rache cheekily said that we really missed the aubergine dish … next thing we knew it had been served up for us!

After we’d finished with dessert with all of us going for the chocolate dessert this time (it was excellent!) the manager came over again to check on us. This time he offered us some Limoncello! On the house! After he brought it he asked if there was anything he could do for us. It just so happened that we’d been talking about a popping candy cocktail that we were keen to try and we asked him whether the bar could make one for us, not really believing the bar would have any popping candy to make it. He nearly ran over to the bar to see if they could help us out! When he came back he almost seemed devastated that they couldn’t make the drink and was offering to give us whatever we wanted. How sweet!

Oh, I managed to snap off a pic of the toilets this time!
