Hello,
I've read some really nice reviews from professional cuisine tasters about this restaurant and it may be true but I doubt that these people experienced what we have. We went there on one evening in February. We were seated, in five minutes got our wine and waited for another half an hour until my husband asked a waitress to take the order. We were sipping our wine for another 45 minutes before entrée arrived. The brake between an entrée and main course was more than 30min. Have you ever seen full restaurant with almost empty (no food) tables? We have. Staff was rushing around pouring water and wine but carrying no food. After having this really long dinner we left "Range" thinking that might be a local tradition to give a lot of wine (which was not cheap at all) and to be slow with the food. But the next evening we had absolutely lovely dinner in "Poplars" in Bright. Having just two waitresses (one was the owner), they were very prompt and food was excellent. Yes, I should admit that food in "Range" was good too.
