| - I came here for a staff Christmas party. There were probably about 70-90 of us. We were hosted upstairs where they keep a private event space. It is not the roomiest of spaces with that amount of people, but it did achieve an intimate feel that I think is nice for a holiday staff party.
I arrived late and the staff immediately got me to coat check and took my drink order while helping me with my belongings. They were very friendly and found me an empty spot and took my order. A+ for service.
I ate a beet salad for my appetizer, which was quite yummy, although I had hoped some goat cheese would make an appearance in it! Nonetheless the glaze on it was quite good and the beets were very fresh. For dinner I had the steak frites, which were yummy. There was some sort of homemade ketchup the staff provided for me. It had sort of an exotic flavor to it and was a nice pairing for the steak flavor. Lastly, I had their sticky toffee pudding. I also got to try their chocolate mousse due to one of my table members leaving early. If I had to pick again I would go with the mousse, but they were both quite good. I was happy with the food. It didn't blow me away, but it was very good.
Overall, I think this is an interesting venue, with excellent service, and a menu that is not particularly innovative, but gives its own spin on things. I can see it being great for winter dates due to its cozy atmosphere.
