Fish • Coffee • Cheese • Chicken


"Came here on a quiet Sunday. While the restaurant is beautiful and service excellent, I thought the set lunch menu selection was just average. Choose from a chicken breast, hake or vegetarian gnocchi for mains. We also assumed that ordering from the set lunch was optional but it’s not, we weren’t allowed to order from the a la carte menu during lunch but our waitress was kind enough to offer checking with the Chef to make exceptions in case we wanted something else . Eventually we decided to go with the 3 course set ordered the crispy pork skin to start, which was very decent, a little salty, but still yummy. The hake I thought the citrus, capers sauce were a bit too overpowering and you couldn’t taste the fish but cooked perfectly, and ended my meal with a delightful British cheese board. My partner ordered the gnocchi which he thought was very delicious, and the too pretty to eat coffee brûlée for dessert which he inhaled as it was perfect. It was a little pricey overall £54? even with the set meal as the portions were quite small, and there were lots of add on options i.e. cheeseboard was an extra £5, and coffee after another £4, which was a little disappointing. I am still on the fence with this one. All in all I thought the food was decent, but could suggest another similar resto for a similar price with a better set menu selection.... perhaps it’s worth returning to try their ala carte menu to make a final call. In my book, it’s 3.5/5."
