Let's clear it up first off. If my wife was writing this review it would be 5 stars. She had the salt & chilli chicken starter and the pad Thai chicken main. I knew I ordered the wrong main when I tasted hers. Her starter and main were ace.
We did both agree that we wouldn't go for this dessert choice again (one between two) but that's our taste.
I knocked one star off for the chowder and the seafood rigatoni as the depth of flavour in each should have been better. Concentrate stocks more, especially fish, and add celery to the fish stock preparation and don't be afraid to season food well.
I'm being picky here really, picky but when it's this good then I think they should go the extra mile and nail it completely.
The coffees are darn good too.
It's a cosy place and hasn't much changed from our memory since it was owned by, I think Mark, but that's long ago.
All the serving staff were really attentive to the diners including us. It's really worth supporting and as it's tough times use it or lose it. read more
