Wine • Steak • Salad • British
"The location and decor were wonderful however I felt the food was slightly over priced for what you actually got. The ambience in the restaurant was sterile with the usual piped music over a sound system where you could hear the kitchen staff more than the music...however when booking originally for 19:30 told it was fully booked so had to book for 18:30 where the restaurant was empty apart from 2 x couples with a very young child in the corner. We left at 20:00 ish restaurant still empty with no other diners there? Don’t understand why 19:30 was fully booked? ...shame. Food was ok along with good service however my starter of squid felt a little over prepared and presented where once getting passed the meagre squid was really a bowl of standard salad with crispy noodles, partners starter of prawns the same. Wine was ok however again nothing of note and over priced for what it was, same bottle available for £5 from supermarket and with a screw cap. I don’t mind screw caps but I do mind paying 4 x the price to open in my self!? Main courses good steak cooked well and parfait of duck a little over cooked but fine. Deserts fine too. great location and great staff...all be it a little naieve and under trained. not so great ambience and food acceptable. Price and portions quite disappointing."
