Ilmatar has been revamped - a far simpler menu, playing on standard hotel food. Very good ingredients, but there's something restrained and lacklustre about the final food.

OK meze, but the kofta was very disappointing - almost no flavour, certainly not the tang of char a good kebab should have. Lacklustre chili sauce and garlic sauces (not asked how I wanted the kebab). In the Forum foodcourt, with all the atmosphere you'd expect. Friendly service.

Yes, it's a hotdog/sausage joint in a railway station, but they do try a little bit harder, such as panini-grilling the bun before assemblage. Slightly dull condiments.
