Lovely restaurant and portions are big. Great value for money.
Really great restaurant that values high quality ingredients done to its most authentic. Service from Blessing was great. The Orzo starter was fresh and zingy and the tartare rich and decadent. Loved both. Fillet steak was heavily charred but balanced well with the herb sauce, perfect cook and thyme chips. Pork bell...
Read full reviewReally great restaurant that values high quality ingredients done to its most authentic. Service from Blessing was great. The Orzo starter was fresh and zingy and the tartare rich and decadent. Loved both. Fillet steak was heavily charred but balanced well with the herb sauce, perfect cook and thyme chips. Pork belly was on the dryer side but still enjoyable with the sides. Both deserts were great, the lemon tart was TART but sensational with the meringue and the apple crumble was rich and warm but my personal preference would have been an icecream over the mascarpone. Definitely recommend.
Starter and mains were really good. We had the burrata and marrow for starters and the fillet steak and pork belly for mains.
