Reviews
Absolutely delicious meal! The duck was stand out- incredibly tender, juicy, and amazing flavor! The beet salad was amazing as well as the hassleback potatoes! Wasn’t too stunned by the “snacks” but still a wonderful meal
A very cozy place on the second floor of a pub. Service was really nice. Everything was explained really well. Food was creative—sauce was one the heavy side but the flavor was nice. However some of the ingredients were less ideal. For example the steak used in surf and turf wasn’t a good cut. And the pork chop was very very fat. Other than that was a very good dinner experience .
The restaurant is tucked away on the second floor of the building. Its subdued, cosy atmosphere makes you feel at home as soon as you sit down. The service is excellent: attentive, polite, and genuinely helpful throughout the evening. The set menu is £105 per person and includes around four starters, a main course to share (with very generous portions), and two desserts. The food was absolutely outstanding. We had the duck breast, which was cooked to perfection and served with a delicious onion sauce. I would highly recommend this restaurant and hope to return again soon!
A hidden gem tucked within another restaurant, this place feels like a special discovery. The food was excellent — the roast was well executed, and the fowl stood out as the highlight, full of flavour and cooked just right. The service was equally impressive, attentive and smooth throughout. Definitely a spot worth seeking out.
