Review of XICA

Had high hopes for this restaurant based on previous reviews. Although the starter and dessert were fine, the main course was ludicrously salty, to the point that you simply could not taste anything other than salt which burned your tounge. We left half of the main course. We could only conclude that to make the crispy duck, they had used a tremendous amount of salt on the duck skins to crisp them quickly. Unfortunately, the staff whilst apologetic could only say” thank you for your feedback”, which left the impression they didn’t really care, and so was tremendously disappointing. It’s good that all their food is gluten-free, but that is totally pointless if what they serve up is utterly unedible. Needless to say we will not be returning.
