We came on a good friends recommendation. We took an 8.45pm booking.
On arrival the restaurant was fully occupied so we dined downstairs - which was also full. The welcome and service was friendly attentive and informative. We were given ample time to select our options. I do like the initially serving of the pickles...what a healthy and different starter.
An important aspect to selecting a main course is that it comes with a three starter option of which we choose a salad and a soup. This is built into the pricing of the main dish. The menu is dominated by fish and steak.
We really enjoyed the gazpacho soup - the salad was more basic. On the night my partner was looking for a white meat option and choose the only one, Chicken Kiev. On reflection not a wise decision given the focus of the menu.....this dish was ordinary. Conversely the Fillet Mignon was a splendid choice. Presented to perfection as was the taste.....a very substantial piece and was adequate for us both to share.
We shared a crepe, the 'Jubilee'- it was all ice cream and limited crepe.
A good wine list and we enjoyed an Amarone, a reserve - it was drinking well. We did have to request that it be decanted.
This is not a fine establishment - it is all about the red meat (and the fish).....come with an appetite and you will not be disappointed.
