Went here for a Saturday lunch with friends during Winterlicious. Didn't see much of the restaurant interior itself as we were seated at a nice round table in the immense lobby of the King Edward Hotel.
The three-course prix fixe menu had a good variety of choices. I started with an onion and winter squash tart which we all agreed was excellent - this was nearly everyone's selection. My main course was a thick and tasty grilled cheese sandwich on sour dough bread with a generous serving of greens with roasted pears and Stilton cheese. The group favourite was the fish stew, although I would have called it a seafood stew given that it also included shrimps and mussels. For dessert I opted to have the coffee and biscotti, but the group favourite was the deliciously creamy chocolate pudding. The waiter ended up serving coffee to everyone who wanted one and also brought out an extra pudding for some of us to share so that we all could try it.
Service was excellent, with the exception that the wait staff had to reach across the table at times because there was very little room behind our chairs. Perhaps if the table had been positioned better this wouldn't have been an issue. As I mentioned the waiter was good to us with some extras so I was happy to give him a generous tip.
All-in-all it was a very enjoyable lunch. We stayed quite awhile after the actual meal was over but at no time did I get the indication that the staff wanted us to vacate our table. People started arriving for afternoon tea which I hear is also very good here so we plan to come back sometime for that!
