A very pleasant and sophisticated evening was had here last night.
Courtesy of a thetaste voucher, ourselves and friends dined very finely in lush surroundings with some decent music indeed.
We kicked off with cocktails - the gin based cucumber one tasted like holidays which was a nice contrast to that bloody rain. The old fashioneds also hit the mark
Starters included chicken liver parfait, shrimp cocktail and the best beetroot and goats cheese salad I ever had. So delicately presented and tasting.
Main events were of a surf n turf variety. The steaks were cooked well and tasted divine, while the sea bream was plentiful in its portion size. Some of the accompanying were a bit dodge - sharp, bitter chicory and some very bitter grapefruit segments.regardless, all plates were cleared.
To wrap it up, Himself unsurprisingly went for the rhubarb crumble which was gorgeous and leaned more heavily on the rhubarb than crumble which is a win in my eyes. Meanwhile the rest of us properly indulged with the chocolate and peanut butter tart. Wow. So so so indulgent - the most intense snickers bar I have ever had.
The supper club piano kicked off before dessert which was good timing. Rather than be loud and distracting, the musical duo played all the tunes at the perfect pitch.
Definitely one for a special occasion
I visted here on a Sunday expecting to see a Sunday lunch menu including roasts with all the trimmings but was disappointed to see the menu available is the same menu used all week. I ordered the chicken pate with bramble apple jelly with toasted brioche which was a large portion and delicious. My friend order shrimp cocktail with melba toast, it was ok a lot of lettuce and nothing enough shrimps. For my main course I had the boned chicken half with herb butter and a light jus served with home fries, It was good and chicken was succulent. I had toffee and apple crumble with banana ice cream, I could not taste toffee in the crumble, My friend had chocolate brownie with icecream which was a bit dry. We ordered coffees but by the time the desserts arrived we had coffee finished. It's is a very nice restaurant to sit in with beautiful paintings on the walls and Staff are very friendly and chatty. This is where the TV programme the restaurant is filmed. I would return again but not in a hurry.
Went here on New Years Eve for dinner and couldn't recommend this place any higher. Great live music. The fillet steak was one of the best i've ever had.
