We arrived unfashionably early for our table at the restaurant and set up shop in the bar until our table was ready. The bar was lively and very popular and the kind of place i would have a hard time leaving if i was out with friends for drinks. I ordered a Mojito while we waited and was very impressed with the result.
Once our table was ready we were taken into the busy restaurant which had a brilliant atmosphere. The tables are well laid out and there is a private room at the back which can be hired for Birthdays etc. to make your occasion more special.
The menu has an excellent selection of modern dishes, all of which look very inviting. We skipped starters and went straight to the mains. I ordered an 8 oz Fillet steak and swapped my hand cut chips for fries. The steak was a quality cut and was cooked perfectly (Medium Rare). The fries were excellent as well, a different league from bog standard restaurant fries and plenty of them too. To accompany the steak I ordered the Con fit Garlic Butter sauce, which as strange as it sounds was worlds away from any other Garlic Butter I've tasted before.
Another member of our party ordered the Aberdeen Angus Steak Burger, and another the Haddock. The quality of the ingredients were evident in the dishes, the fish was cooked perfectly and the burger was presented excellently.
The staff were very helpful and despite the busy hour were always on hand when we needed them.
For dessert we all ordered the Chocolate Brownie, the best Chocolate Brownie I've had in a restaurant. My only criticism of the dish being that i wish the Cherry sauce was more like a Coulis, sharper and more bitter to compliment the sweet Brownie and Marshmallow.
The experience can be summed in by the following; If i had to chose a restaurant to eat in every night for the rest of my life, I wouldn't think twice.
