During the same day trip out to Meadow Hall, we had dinner at here as after a long day we didn't bother going into city centre for dinner.
The overall setting and interior is much nicer here than at giraffe, and you can really snuggle here and have a nice dinner experience.
We were given the option of where to be seated by our waiter and plonked ourselves on a sofa ahhh!.
After analysing the menu we chose a platter to share - fried whitebait, calamari and spicy pork meatballs - all of which were very nice and came with a selection of dips, however the meatballs were abit on the cold side though.
I chose the mixed grill for my mains - rump steak, chicken and pork medallion - as I wanted abit of everything - and it came with chips and some salad. I opted for the additional Bearnaise and crushed chilli sauce, as I hadn't had it before and it sound appealing.
I was extremely disappointed with my main, as all of my meats were overcooked - steak was medium (I asked for medium rare), chicken was stringy, although the pork was manageable. I couldn't taste the chilli in my sauce, and it was just creamy and nothing else. Bland bland bland bland bland bland. And bland.
All in all, a nice place to eat, good service, but below par food. I was disappointed really, and I probably won't be going again.
I find with these restaurant chains that they are only affordable and they lack real quality that independent restaurants have. read more
