"When the only redeeming feature of a meal is the ice cream with the puddings you know it isn’t a good sign. Had I not been with my elderly in-laws I’d have complained bitterly about this experience but to avoid spoiling the evening for them I didn’t give honest feedback during the meal hence writing this now. Let’s start with atmosphere, there is none, we were there on a Saturday night and but the time we left there had been 8 people there, considering we were a party of 4 it was hardly a busy night. As for the food? I had rib eye steak, it was the most expensive thing on the menu but I just fancied it, order it cooked medium rare, which then arrived the cremated side of well done. I did point out to the waitress that she needed to feed back to the chef that it was overcooked but the best I got was a fairly blank stare. The menu didn’t say it came with chips and the waitress didn’t bat an eyelid when I ordered a side order of them so I was a little surprised to end up with them both as part of the meal and as a side dish which I ended up paying for. So not exactly what you would call promising. Everyone else had confit duck leg, it is a favourite of mine as well, done slowly so the meat falls apart, sadly their recipe is obviously very different to the one most of us recognise and involves managing to cook the duck until it develops a chewy and unpalatable texture. Puddings, mine was good if you were on a diet as it was the smallest chocolate brownie I think I have seen in a very long time. However at least that was better than the pecan tart, which comprised a brought in pastry case, a few pecans and some caramel sauce on top. The ice creams were the highspot and I thoroughly recommend them – if you do visit I suggest asking for a scoop in a cone and leaving quickly to find somewhere better to eat."
