"Booked this restaurant as birthday surprise dinner. The restaurant bar was busy, it had a 40th Birthday function going on, the bar area was fairly busy mainly with couples. We were quick to be shown to our table, it was a fairly early booking so restaurant area was empty but quickly filled up. The menu had something for everyone mainly bistro pub food, service staff were quick to take our order and gave us time to peruse the menu. All our party had the breaded Brie which was lovely however my only complaint was the portion was too small £6.50 x 4 for 3 cubes of breaded Brie with cranberry sauce/jelly! For mains we ventured separately, I had the baby ribs that were cooked to perfection the meat fell off the bone, served on a slate plate with B-B-Q beans large sliced sweet potato delicious. (A cleaning bowl and dish I felt could have been offered for the ribs) The mussels served in a spicy Spanish sauce, large portion served with big chunks of bread, which was automatically white, we didn’t ask for wholemeal but perhaps it could have been offered? Steak pie for the boys, offered with wholegrain mustard mash and mushy peas with a small jug of gravy on the side, both plates were clean! And no complaints, we were all full from the meal we had so didn’t venture onto the pudding menu. I chose the wine and Sauvignon (New Zealand) we had 2 bottles priced at £33 a bottle a tad pricey for a in the region of £12 bottle, I expect to pay for corkage but for almost 3x the price perhaps I should have chose a house white. Service was quick, the girls very polite and happy to banter with a smile, I witnessed a obviously new waiter clear empty plates from a table that were still eating (a big no-no in my book) and had he done it to ours I would have perhaps said something, but we all start somewhere. Cost for the evening just under £200(not including the tip) Great place to eat for couples, friends to meet, ambience was good. Would I go visit again definitely!
